"Yes, your Grace, in the drawing-room," said Irma; and she turned to go. "Yes; and say that I shall be engaged for the next five minutes the next five minutes, do you understand?" said the Duke. "Yes, your Grace," said Irma; and she went out of the door. "Ask Mademoiselle Kritchnoff to put on her hat and cloak," said Guerchard. "Yes, sir," said Irma; and she went.
"How long has Mademoiselle Kritchnoff been gone?" he said to Bonavent. "Not much more than five minutes," said Bonavent. "She came out from talking to you in the drawing-room " "Talking to me in the drawing-room!" exclaimed Guerchard. "Yes," said Bonavent. "She came out and went straight down the stairs and out of the house." A faint, sighing gasp came from Guerchard's lips.
"I may want you again presently." Irma went quickly out of the room with an air of relief. M. Formery scribbled a few words on the paper before him and then said: "Well, I will proceed to question Mademoiselle Kritchnoff." "Mademoiselle Kritchnoff is quite above suspicion," said the Duke quickly. "Oh, yes, quite," said Germaine.
At the tidings some of his weight of woe appeared to be lifted from the head of the millionaire. "Good!" he said, "good! Gentlemen, you will lunch with me, I hope." "Thank you," said M. Formery. "There is nothing else for us to do, at any rate at present, and in the house. I am not quite satisfied about Mademoiselle Kritchnoff at least Guerchard is not.
The inspector came into the room: "Mademoiselle Kritchnoff will be here in a moment. She was just going out." "She was going out?" said M. Formery. "You don't mean to say you're letting members of the household go out?" "No, sir," said the inspector. "I mean that she was just asking if she might go out."
Mademoiselle Kritchnoff is at liberty. Tell her so, and bring her in here." Lupin started back, flushed and scowling; he cried: "With these things on my hands! ... No! ... I can't see her!" Guerchard stood still, looking at him.
"Believe me that, personally, I've no animosity against Mademoiselle Kritchnoff. In fact, the child attracts me." "Yes," said the Duke softly, in a musing tone.
"Excuse me," said Guerchard suavely, "but I attach considerable importance to it. It seems to me to be our bounden duty to question her fully. One never knows from what quarter light may come." "Oh, well, since you make such a point of it," said M. Formery. "Inspector, ask Mademoiselle Kritchnoff to come here. Fetch her." The inspector left the room.
There was a flicker of contemptuous wonder in the Duke's eyes. But he only shrugged his shoulders, and turning to Sonia, said, "Will you be an angel and play me a little Grieg, Mademoiselle Kritchnoff? I heard you playing yesterday. No one plays Grieg like you." "Excuse me, Jacques, but Mademoiselle Kritchnoff has her work to do," said Germaine tartly.
Bonavent came into the room. "Mademoiselle Kritchnoff, Bonavent. It's quite time," said Guerchard. "Mademoiselle Kritchnoff?" said Bonavent, with an air of surprise. "Yes, it's time that she was taken to the police-station." "Mademoiselle Kritchnoff has gone, sir," said Bonavent, in a tone of quiet remonstrance. "Gone? What do you mean by gone?" said Guerchard.
