 LUPIN'S LUPINS
 
Next morning, a little before eight o'clock, Valenglay was talking in his own flat to the Prefect of Police, and asked:
 
"So you think as I do, my dear Prefect? He'll come?"
 
"I haven't the least doubt of it, Monsieur le Président. And he will come with the same punctuality that has been shown throughout this business. He will come, for pride's sake, at the last stroke of eight."
 
"You think so?"
 
"Monsieur le Président, I have been studying the man for months. As things now stand, with Florence Levasseur's life in the balance, if he has not smashed the villain1 whom he is hunting down, if he does not bring him back bound hand and foot, it will mean that Florence Levasseur is dead and that he, Arsène Lupin, is dead."
 
"Whereas Lupin is immortal," said Valenglay, laughing. "You're right.
Besides, I agree with you entirely2. No one would be more astonished than
I if our good friend was not here to the minute. You say you were rung up
from Angers yesterday?"
 
"Yes, Monsieur le Président. My men had just seen Don Luis Perenna. He had gone in front of them, in an aeroplane. After that, they telephoned to me again from Le Mans, where they had been searching a deserted3 coach-house.
 
"You may be sure that the search had already been made by Lupin, and that we shall know the results. Listen: eight o'clock!"
 
At the same moment they heard the throbbing4 of a motor car. It stopped outside the house; and the bell rang almost immediately after. Orders had been given beforehand. The door opened and Don Luis Perenna was shown in.
 
To Valenglay and the Prefect of Police his arrival was certainly not unexpected, for they had just been saying that they would have been surprised if he had not come. Nevertheless, their attitude showed that astonishment5 which we all experience in the face of events that seem to pass the bounds of human possibility.
