VII. Madame Imbert's Safe - Page 7 of 8 "There are some impenetrable secrets connected with that affair; some obscure points that escape my comprehension. For instance: What caused their flight? Why did they not take advantage of the help I unconsciously gave them? It would have been so simple to say: `The hundred millions were in the safe. They are no longer there, because they have been stolen.'" "They lost their nerve." "Yes, that is it--they lost their nerve...On the other hand, it is true---" "What is true?" "Oh! nothing." What was the meaning of Lupin's reticence? It was quite obvious that he had not told me everything; there was something he was loath to tell. His conduct puzzled me. It must indeed be a very serious matter to cause such a man as Arsene Lupin even a momentary hesitation. I threw out a few questions at random. "Have you seen them since?" "No." "And have you never experienced the slightest degree of pity for those unfortunate people?" "I!" he exclaimed, with a start. His sudden excitement astonished me. Had I touched him on a sore spot? I continued: "Of course. If you had not left them alone, they might have been able to face the danger, or, at least, made their escape with full pockets." "What do you mean?" he said, indignantly. "I suppose you have an idea that my soul should be filled with remorse?" "Call it remorse or regrets--anything you like---" "They are not worth it." "Have you no regrets or remorse for having stolen their fortune?" "What fortune?" "The packages of bonds you took from their safe." "Oh! I stole their bonds, did I? I deprived them of a portion of their wealth? Is that my crime? Ah! my dear boy, you do not know the truth. You never imagined that those bonds were not worth the paper they were written on. Those bonds were false--they were counterfeit--every one of them--do you understand? THEY WERE COUNTERFEIT!" I looked at him, astounded. "Counterfeit! The four or five millions?" "Yes, counterfeit!" he exclaimed, in a fit of rage. "Only so many scraps of paper! I couldn't raise a sou on the whole of them! And you ask me if I have any remorse. THEY are the ones who should have remorse and pity. They played me for a simpleton; and I fell into their trap. I was their latest victim, their most stupid gull!" He was affected by genuine anger--the result of malice and wounded pride. He continued: "From start to finish, I got the worst of it. Do you know the part I played in that affair, or rather the part they made me play? That of Andre Brawford! Yes, my boy, that is the truth, and I never suspected it. It was not until afterwards, on reading the newspapers, that the light finally dawned in my stupid brain. Whilst I was posing as his "saviour," as the gentleman who had risked his life to rescue Mon. Imbert from the clutches of an assassin, they were passing me off as Brawford. Wasn't that splendid? That eccentric individual who had a room on the second floor, that barbarian that was exhibited only at a distance, was Brawford, and Brawford was I! Thanks to me, and to the confidence that I inspired under the name of Brawford, they were enabled to borrow money from the bankers and other money-lenders. Ha! what an experience for a novice! And I swear to you that I shall profit by the lesson!" |
