Monsieur, here we have the check for your dinner--you dined at the
Palais Royal. While you were there you wrote a letter in pencil. One of your friends brought the letter here. His name was M. Adolph Durand, and he lent you his passport. We are certain of your identity; you are M. Jules Rousseau. Joseph The son of the rich M. Rousseau, whose house we are furnishing? The sheriff Hold your tongue! The officer You must come with us. Jules Certainly, monsieur. (To Giraud and his wife) Forgive the annoyance I have caused you--and you, Pamela, do not forget me! If you do not see me again, you may keep what I gave into your hands, and may it bring you happiness! Giraud O Lord! Pamela Poor Adolph! The sheriff (to his agents) Remain here. We are going to search this attic, and question every one of these people. |
