Bertomy was confident that he had not mentioned it to anybody, but Nina Gipsy was able to throw light on this part of the problem. She recollected a chance remark of Bertomy's while sitting at dinner with herself and Lagors on the night of the robbery. She had reproached Bertomy with neglecting her.
But, mark my words, madame, it is too late! You ruined the father; but you shall save the son, or, by all the saints in heaven, I swear you shall no longer cheat the world of its esteem." "I will obey you, monsieur," murmured the trembling, frightened woman. The following week Raoul, now Raoul de Lagors, was seated at the banker's dinner-table, between Mme. Fauvel and Madeleine.
Raoul de Lagors was the next character in the drama whose past the detective made it his business to expose. Lagors, it has been said, was the nephew of Madame Fauvel. To his surprise, Lecoq discovered, by inquiries in her native place, that the banker's wife had never had any brothers or sisters. Lagors, therefore, was not her nephew.
"However," added the concierge, "I am not very sure, for this house has a back door which opens on the Rue St. Denis." "We are tricked," interrupted Lagors, "and will never know who the clown is." "Unless we learn it too soon for our own good," said Clameran musingly.
Alexandre opened a little cupboard, and took out a letter which she handed to him. "Here, take it," she said, "and be satisfied." Considering that she used to be a chambermaid, Palmyre Chocareille, since become Mme. Gypsy, wrote a good letter. It bore the following address, written in a free, flowing hand: FOR M. L. DE CLAMERAN, Forge-Master, Hotel du Louvre. To be handed to M. Raoul de Lagors.
