<p>“Was the friend an Englishman?”</p>
<p>“Yes.”</p>
<p>“What’s his name?”</p>
<p><abbr>Mr.</abbr> Hargrove.”</p>
<p><abbr epub:type="z3998:name-title">Mr.</abbr> Hargrove.”</p>
<p>“Where does he live?”</p>
<p>“At <abbr>No.</abbr> 92 in this street.”</p>
<p>“One word more: had that old doctor been attending him long?”</p>
<p>“No. I did not know him. He came on the evening when <abbr>M.</abbr> Lavernoux was taken ill.”</p>
<p>Without another word, Lupin dragged me away once more, ran down the stairs and, once in the street, turned to the right, which took us past my flat again. Four doors further, he stopped at <abbr>No.</abbr> 92, a small, low-storied house, of which the ground-floor was occupied by the proprietor of a dram-shop, who stood smoking in his doorway, next to the entrance-passage. Lupin asked if <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Hargrove was at home.</p>
<p><abbr>Mr.</abbr> Hargrove went out about half-an-hour ago,” said the publican. “He seemed very much excited and took a taxicab, a thing he doesn’t often do.”</p>

<p>“And you don’t know.⁠ ⁠…”</p>
<p>“Where he was going? Well, there’s no secret about it. He shouted it loud enough! ‘Prefecture of Police’ is what he said to the driver.⁠ ⁠…”</p>
<p>Lupin was himself just hailing a taxi, when he changed his mind; and I heard him mutter:</p>
<p>“What’s the good? He’s got too much start of us.⁠ ⁠…”</p>
<p>He asked if anyone called after <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Hargrove had gone.</p>
<p>“Yes, an old gentleman with a grey beard and spectacles. He went up to <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Hargrove’s, rang the bell, and went away again.”</p>

<p>“Why? Why?⁠ ⁠… And what is the result of that step?”</p>
<p>“The result, <span xml:lang="fr">monsieur le baron</span>, is that your house is surrounded. There are twelve detectives under your windows. The moment the sun rises, they will enter in the name of the law and arrest the criminal.”</p>
<p>“Then is Lavernoux’s murderer concealed in my house? Who is he? One of the servants? But no, for you were speaking of a doctor!⁠ ⁠…”</p>

<p>“What! They know at last! They have found the baroness! Where is she? And the jewels? And the money she robbed me of?”</p>
