V. The Queen's Necklace - Page 02 of 11 Next morning, he arose about nine o'clock, intending to go to the Credit Lyonnais before breakfast. He dressed, drank a cup of coffee, and went to the stables to give his orders. The condition of one of the horses worried him. He caused it to be exercised in his presence. Then he returned to his wife, who had not yet left the chamber. Her maid was dressing her hair. When her husband entered, she asked: "Are you going out?" "Yes, as far as the bank." "Of course. That is wise." He entered the cabinet; but, after a few seconds, and without any sign of astonishment, he asked: "Did you take it, my dear?" "What?....No, I have not taken anything." "You must have moved it." "Not at all. I have not even opened that door." He appeared at the door, disconcerted, and stammered, in a scarcely intelligible voice: "You haven't....It wasn't you?....Then...." She hastened to his assistance, and, together, they made a thorough search, throwing the boxes to the floor and overturning the piles of linen. Then the count said, quite discouraged: "It is useless to look any more. I put it here, on this shelf." "You must be mistaken." "No, no, it was on this shelf--nowhere else." They lighted a candle, as the room was quite dark, and then carried out all the linen and other articles that the room contained. And, when the room was emptied, they confessed, in despair, that the famous necklace had disappeared. Without losing time in vain lamentations, the countess notified the commissary of police, Mon. Valorbe, who came at once, and, after hearing their story, inquired of the count: "Are you sure that no one passed through your chamber during the night?" "Absolutely sure, as I am a very light sleeper. Besides, the chamber door was bolted, and I remember unbolting it this morning when my wife rang for her maid." "And there is no other entrance to the cabinet?" "None." "No windows?" "Yes, but it is closed up." "I will look at it." Candles were lighted, and Mon. Valorbe observed at once that the lower half of the window was covered by a large press which was, however, so narrow that it did not touch the casement on either side. "On what does this window open?" "A small inner court." "And you have a floor above this?" "Two; but, on a level with the servant's floor, there is a close grating over the court. That is why this room is so dark." When the press was moved, they found that the window was fastened, which would not have been the case if anyone had entered that way. "Unless," said the count, "they went out through our chamber." "In that case, you would have found the door unbolted." The commissary considered the situation for a moment, then asked the countess: "Did any of your servants know that you wore the necklace last evening?" "Certainly; I didn't conceal the fact. But nobody knew that it was hidden in that cabinet." |
