"THE
SNARE1 IS LAID. BEWARE, LUPIN!"
The power that had
impelled2 Don Luis to battle and victory was so intense that it suffered, so to speak, no cheek. Disappointment, rage,
humiliation3, torture, were all swallowed up in an
immediate4 desire for action and information, together with a
longing5 to continue the chase. The rest was but an incident of no importance, which would soon be very simply explained.
The
petrified6 taxi-driver was gazing wildly at the peasants coming from the distant farms, attracted by the sound of the aeroplane. Don Luis took him by the throat and put the barrel of his revolver to the man's temple:
"Tell me what you know—or you're a dead man."
"It's no use moaning, no use hoping for assistance…. Those people won't get here in time. So there's only one way of saving yourself: speak! Last night a gentleman came to Versailles from Paris in a taxi, left it and took yours: is that it?"
"Yes."
"The gentleman had a lady with him?"
"Yes."
"And he engaged you to take him to Nantes?"
"Yes."
"But he changed his mind on the way and told you to put him down?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"Before we got to Mans, in a little road on the right, with a sort of coach-house, looking like a shed, a hundred yards down it. They both got out there."
