The fair of Soulanges took place as usual quite peacefully, except for certain jarrings between the leading society and the second-class society of Soulanges, brought about by the despotism of the queen, who could not tolerate the empire founded and established over the heart of the brilliant Lupin by the beautiful Euphemie Plissoud, for she herself laid permanent claim to his fickle fervors.
Ganimard took them, looked at him for a moment and said: "You're a fine fellow, my lad!" "Pooh!" he said. "Luck has served me."

Merkins and Son write they have no vacancy for Lupin. October 30. I should very much like to know who has wilfully torn the last five or six weeks out of my diary. It is perfectly monstrous! I asked Carrie if she knew anything about it. She replied it was my own fault for leaving the diary about with a charwoman cleaning and the sweeps in the house.

"Are you in love with her?" "I am." Valenglay experienced a little thrill of enjoyment. Lupin in love! Lupin acting through love and confessing his love! But how exciting! He said: "I have followed the Mornington case from day to day and I know every detail of it. You have done wonders, Monsieur.
Yes, I venture to believe that Arsene Lupin honors me with his friendship, and that it is through friendship that he occasionally calls on me, and brings, into the silence of my library, his youthful exuberance of spirits, the contagion of his enthusiasm, and the mirth of a man for whom destiny has naught but favors and smiles. His portrait? How can I describe him?
