Comrade Juve in the bracelets, and Vagualame free! But he holds Bobinette in his hand the old ruffian's accomplice, unmasked!" What was this? Could Juve believe his ears?... Michel apologising to this guilty creature! Felicitating her on her escape from Vagualame's clutches! What the deuce?... "Ah, Mademoiselle! You never suspected who was so near you, now did you?"
Vagualame's face took on a wicked look. "I shall have to be as careful as can be when I hide myself in that little fool's room to-night! At all costs I must get hold of that compromising letter before anyone in the hotel hears of the death! Not a soul must catch a glimpse of me that's certain!" Those who passed Vagualame simply thought he was an old beggar, an old accordion player....
She had obeyed the instructions it contained.... That he had learned her address did not surprise her: she knew he never lost track of those it was to his interest to keep an eye on. Before Vagualame's note reached her she had been worried and bored. "I must make sure of shelter and protection if needs be," she reflected: "I will look up Geoffrey.
She was painfully impressed by the obscurity of the night sinister, menacing. From the marshy fields flanking her to right and left unaccustomed sounds, weird noises reached her straining ears through the gusty darkness. Then what did her master want with her here, and at such an hour? Never had Bobinette confessed to herself that Vagualame's real identity was unknown to her.
After Vagualame's arrest she had had but one idea: to get rid of the gun piece, hand it to the foreign power, and receive the promised reward.... When, instead of Corporal Vinson, whom she had summoned in accordance with her orders, she had perceived Fandor, she was puzzled, suspicious.
Fandor interrupted: "If I were in your place, Chief, and knew what you seem to know, I would not hesitate a moment.... I should arrest Vagualame!" Monsieur Havard's glance was ironical. "Who told you that I had not so decided?... At this moment my best trackers are out on Vagualame's trail.... If I run him to earth, he will not be at large long, I can promise you!
Vagualame's arrest had made a terrible impression on her.... Vagualame had not betrayed her; but she sensed snares, pitfalls all about her: she might be trapped any minute: she must disappear!
Therefore Juve must act at once. His first move must be to meet and talk with the Second Bureau officer most in touch with Vagualame, and make him talk without arousing his suspicions. Juve also meant to mix with Vagualame's associates, trusting to luck and his own perspicacity to get on to various trails, trails that would lead him to the solution of grave problems.
I am going to give her a lesson one of my own sort!" Vagualame was turning the letter over and over. "I must know its contents," he went on.... "Ah, I shall manage to get hold of this little paper, to-morrow morning, when."... Vagualame's murmured monologue came to an abrupt conclusion. "That's her voice!" he exclaimed.
"That depends.... How are things going?" "Which things?" The lieutenant showed impatience. Was Vagualame's stupid, silly manner intentional?
