As far back as September, 1936, the Sûreté Nationale knew that some leading French industrialists with the cooperation of the German and Italian Governments were building a military fascist organization within France. Nevertheless it quietly permitted fortresses to be built and stocked with munitions.
The man got upon his feet lumberingly and unsteadily; he clutched Albert's shoulder convulsively. "You are an Agent de la Sureté!" he hissed. "You have come here to arrest me!" The attention of some of the less intoxicated ruffians was being excited by Bouche-de-Miel's behavior, but their ears had failed to seize his words amid the prevailing din.
I am the one person who has penetrated the veil of secrecy beneath which he has so long remained hidden. Quérot, of the Paris Sûreté, and Tetani, of the Public Security of Italy, are my friends. I can now go to them, as I shall." "My dear sir!" I exclaimed. "The matter is no affair of mine! I am simply a paid secretary to do Mr. Rayne's correspondence, and sometimes to drive his car.
"I should like to see M. Pigot, of the Paris Service du Sûreté" he said. "Perhaps you will be so kind as to have a steward take my card to him?" "That is unnecessary, sir," replied the purser, courteously. "That is M. Pigot yonder the gentleman with the white hair, with his back to us.
Pushing past Hebert and the men of the Surete who stood about the dark and narrow passages of the depot, he sought the Commissary of the Section in the latter's office. It was now close upon ten o'clock. The citizen Commissary Cuisinier had finished his work for the day and was preparing to go home and to bed.
His massive figure was hunched up like that of an old man; his hands, which still clung to his identity papers, trembled slightly like those of a man who is very frightened and very helpless. The men of the Surete handled him very roughly, but he made no protest. The woman Evrard did all the protesting, vowing that the people would not long tolerate such tyranny.
"Mademoiselle Stangerson is much better and is rapidly recovering from her wounds. The marriage is simply delayed, is it not, Monsieur?" insisted the Chief of the Surete. "I hope so. "What! Is there any doubt about that?" Monsieur Stangerson did not answer. Monsieur Robert Darzac seemed agitated. I saw that his hand trembled as it fingered his watchchain.
In conclusion, and at a late hour, the same journal announced that the Chief of the Surete had telegraphed to the famous detective, Frederic Larsan, who had been sent to London for an affair of stolen securities, to return immediately to Paris. I remember as well as if it had occurred yesterday, the entry of young Rouletabille into my bedroom that morning.
"I have sent it back once, saying that Your Highness was not to be disturbed. He returned it, insisting " Markeld took the card, glanced at it, and read: "M. André Tellier, Paris. Agent du Service de Sûreté" Beneath this was a pencilled line "Concerning the question of the succession." The Prince stared at it a moment in some astonishment, not unmixed with irritation.
My fears that he might be an agent of the Sûreté were groundless. The afternoon was delightful as we sat beneath the trees, but Madame suddenly recollected an engagement she had with her dressmaker at five o'clock, so we reëntered our taxi and drove back to the Porte Maillot and thence direct to the hotel.
