"Oh, certainly! But it required the consolations of one Italian, two Americans, three Russians, a German grand-d.u.c.h.ess and a Chinawoman to do it!"

"And, after that...?"

"After that, so as to place an insuperable barrier between myself and her, I got married."

"Nonsense! You got married, you, a.r.s.ene Lupin?"

"Married, wedded, spliced, in the most lawful fashion. One of the greatest names in France. An only daughter. A colossal fortune... What!

You don't know the story? Well, it's worth hearing."

And, straightway, Lupin, who was in a confidential vein, began to tell me the story of his marriage to Angelique de Sarzeau-Vendome, Princesse de Bourbon-Conde, to-day Sister Marie-Auguste, a humble nun in the Visitation Convent... [*]

And then... then came silence, a perturbing and disarming silence."

"Well?"

"Well, I swear to you that the woman whom I took in my arms that night and kissed on the lips--oh, not for long: a few seconds only, but no matter!--I swear before heaven that she was something more than a grateful mother, something more than a friend yielding to a moment of susceptibility, that she was a woman also, a woman quivering with emotion ..." And he continued, with a bitter laugh, "Who ran away next day, never to see me again."

He was silent once more. Then he whispered:

"Clarisse... Clarisse... On the day when I am tired and disappointed and weary of life, I will come to you down there, in your little Arab house ... in that little white house, Clarisse, where you are waiting for me..."
