But a study-table, a writing-desk, is a limited space. One can explore it in twenty minutes. One can demolish it, if necessary, in ten." The conversation had tired Arsene Lupin a little. As he did not wish to commit the least imprudence, he said to Clarisse: "Listen. I will ask you to give me two or three days more. This is Monday, the 4th of March.
