He must forestall Daubrecq and get hold of the crystal stopper. When they had crossed the Bois de Boulogne and were nearing the Square Lamartine, Lupin took leave of the doctor and stopped the car. The Growler and the Masher, to whom he had wired, met him. "Where's Mme. Mergy?" he asked.
The overture, with its hollow ring of gaiety, strikes the note of Italianism which echoes throughout the opera. The plot is full of intrigues and conspiracies, and is decidedly confusing. Mergy, a young Bernese gentleman, aspires to the hand of Isabelle, who is one of the Queen of Navarre's maids of honour.
It was soon reported that the dejected forces around Rangoon had gained courage and confidence, at the news that Bandoola and his army were coming to their aid, and that the deserters were returning in large numbers from their villages. The British sick were sent away in the shipping to Mergy and Tavoy, two coast towns of which we had taken possession, and both of which were healthily situated.
Mergy, with me; there will be no more traps laid for you. You will be the master, free to act as you please. Gilbert's safety, Daubrecq! If you refuse..." "What then?" "If you refuse, it will be war, relentless war; in other words, a certain defeat for you." "Meaning thereby..." "Meaning thereby that I shall take the list of the Twenty-seven from you." "Rot! You think so, do you?" "I swear it."
Bless my soul, I don't say that I at once suspected Lupin behind Polonius and Polonius behind the gentleman who came and bored me in the box at the Vaudeville. No, no! But, all the same, it worried me. I could see that, between the police and Mme. Mergy, there was a third bounder trying to get a finger in the pie.
However, toward the end of the afternoon, he began to grow impatient and anxious. He was fighting one of those battles the last, he hoped in which the least delay might jeopardize everything. If Daubrecq threw Mme. Mergy off the scent, how was he to be caught again?
A train was starting, the night express. They had time to rush along the corridor. Nobody... neither Mme. Mergy nor Daubrecq... But, as they were all three going, a porter accosted them near the refreshment-room: "Is one of you gentlemen looking for a lady?" "Yes, yes,... I am," said Lupin. "Quick, what is it?" "Oh, it's you, sir!
Prasville looked at her for a moment, hesitated and sat down. He understood. In pursuing Daubrecq, Clarisse Mergy had not acted only from hatred and the desire for revenge. Another motive prompted her. The paper would not be handed over except upon conditions. "Sit down, please," he said, thus showing that he accepted the discussion.
"You seem very much bent upon it." "Infinitely," said Lupin, "for I am persuaded that a longer separation from her son will mean death to Mme. Mergy." "And that upsets you, does it... Lothario?" "What!" Lupin planted himself in front of the other and repeated: "What! What do you mean?"
This sort of thing would end by shattering the poor little man's nerves... And he has certainly earned his rest, haven't you, Hercules?" The next day Clarisse Mergy, who was nearly breaking down under the strain of events and who herself needed repose, lest she should fall seriously ill, went, with her son, to board with a friend who had a house on the skirt of the Forest of Saint-Germain.
