<p>The car travelled all the evening and all night, without any incident. Twice they stopped to take in petrol at some sleepy little town.</p>
<p>The Germans took it in turns to watch their prisoner, who did not open his eyes until the early morning.</p>
<p>They stopped for breakfast at an inn on a hillside, near which stood a signpost. Lupin saw that they were at an equal distance from Metz and Luxemburg. From there, they took a road that slanted northeast, in the direction of Treves.</p>

<p>Lupin said to his travelling-companion:</p>
<p>“Am I right in believing that I have the honor of speaking to Count von Waldemar, the Emperor’s confidential friend, the one who searched Hermann <span epub:type="z3998:roman">III</span>’s house in Dresden?”</p>
<p>The stranger remained silent.</p>

<p>As a matter of fact, Lupin knew no more than at the first moment and his perplexity did nothing but increase. To obtain his release from prison and to strike the imagination of his visitor, he had bluffed, pretending to know everything; and he was still seeking for the best place at which to begin to seek.</p>
<p>“Things look bad,” he said to himself, from time to time. “Things are looking about as bad as they can look.”</p>
<p>His brain, moreover, was not as clear as usual. He was obsessed by an idea, the idea of “the other one,” the murderer, the assassin, whom he knew to be still clinging to his footsteps.</p>
<p>How did that mysterious personality come to be on his tracks? How had he heard of Lupin’s leaving prison and of his rush to Luxemburg and Germany? Was it a miraculous intuition? Or was it the outcome of definite information? But, if so, at what price, by means of what promises or threats was he able to obtain it?</p>

<p>All these questions haunted Lupin’s mind.</p>
<p>At about four o’clock, however, after a fresh walk through the ruins, in the course of which he had examined the stones, measured the thickness of the walls, investigated the shape and appearance of things, all to no purpose, he asked the count:</p>
<p>“Is there no one left who was in the service of the last grand-duke who lived in the castle?”</p>

<p>Lupin was silent, impressed, in spite of himself, by the man’s anguish. He sat long thinking and then rose and said to the headwaiter:</p>
<p>“Here, here’s your money; but, if you want to live in peace, you will do well not to breathe a word of our conversation to anybody.”</p>
<p>He left the restaurant with Doudeville and walked to the Porte Saint-Denis without speaking, absorbed in all that he had heard. At last, he seized his companion’s arm and said:</p>
<p>“Listen to me, Doudeville, carefully. Go to the <span xml:lang="fr">Gare du Nord</span>. You will get there in time to catch the Luxemburg express. Go to Veldenz, the capital of the grand-duchy of Zweibrucken-Veldenz. At the town-hall, you will easily obtain the birth-certificate of the Chevalier de Malreich and further information about the family. You will be back on the day after tomorrow: that will be Saturday.”</p>

<p>“Am I to let them know at the detective-office?”</p>
<p>“I’ll see to that. I shall telephone that you are ill. Oh, one word more: on Saturday, meet me at twelve o’clock in a little café on the <span xml:lang="fr">Route de la Revolte</span>, called the Restaurant Buffalo. Come dressed as a workman.”</p>
