He regarded him calmly there was a touch of irony in his gaze: at the same time, he did not clearly understand de Loubersac's last phrase. The excellent Monsieur de Naarboveck murmured in his ear: "De Loubersac, you know, has to do with the Second Bureau at the Ministry of War: the statistics department."...
"My dear child, there is nothing in this secret which impugns your honor: you are not the responsible party. If, up to the present, I have thought it well to introduce you to my friends as my dau."... De Naarboveck stopped short; the library door had opened. A footman appeared and announced: "A woman has just arrived with her son, and wishes to see Mademoiselle or Monsieur.
He was going to take the lead in this conversation, but the young woman did not give him time. She continued in a rapid tone, on one note, almost as if she had repeated a lesson learned by heart. "Baron de Naarboveck, Monsieur, cannot tell you anything that you do not already know, except and there is no secret about it that Captain Brocq used to come here pretty regularly.
He rose, stood close to Wilhelmine, who also rose, instinctively, looked her straight in the face, and asked, point-blank: "Wilhelmine de Naarboveck, or Thérèse Auvernois it matters little to me I wish to know the real truth.... Confess, then, that you were Captain Brocq's mistress!" "Monsieur!" exclaimed the startled girl. She met de Loubersac's inquisitorial look proudly.
M. de Naarboveck, who had been watching Fandor closely, said to him, in a low voice: "Wilhelmine has been very much upset by this terrible accident which has overtaken our friend, Captain Brocq, and we."...
Curtains were drawn across the window, but Juve did not fear to see his adversary escape in that direction: he knew and he alone knew it that between this window and the curtains there was an obstacle someone."... "Do you remember, Monsieur de Naarboveck, that evening when the police came here to arrest Vagualame?"
That this statement had upset the baron was evident: he had grown white to the lips. Inspector Michel realised that the idea of this double-dyed murderer having taken refuge in his house must have given the rich diplomat a horrid surprise. He continued his statement. "The individual we have come to arrest is known under the name of Vagualame!" "Vagualame!" stammered de Naarboveck.
Was it not?" During Juve's virulent apostrophe de Naarboveck had maintained an ironic self-possession. "You confess, then?" "And suppose it were so?... No doubt, Monsieur Juve, you intended to denounce me, to prove that the Baron de Naarboveck is none other than Fantômas.... Well, it pleases me to admit your cleverness.
If he did not confess it to de Loubersac, he knew in his own mind that these statements indicated that between this Baron de Naarboveck and the redoubtable bandit he was pursuing so determinedly there was some connection, possibly as yet unfathomed, but in his heart of hearts he believed he had lighted on the truth.
He returns! We will fall upon Trokoff!... We will avenge ourselves!" A heavy step was heard on the stairs; someone was mounting hurriedly.... Trokoff was about to reappear.... Fandor grasped the revolver de Naarboveck had just handed to him. He bounded to the door, ready to leap on the entering man. De Naarboveck was ambushed on the side opposite to Fandor.
