"Yes; within that time, Arsene Lupin solved the problem that you placed before him." "I....placed before him " "Yes, Arsene Lupin or Horace Velmont same thing." "I thought so. Ah! the scoundrel!"

"Have you seen him?" "I met him a short time ago on my way from the station." "And you knew it was Horace Velmont I mean, Arsene Lupin?" "That is right. I wonder how it came "
