corridors in order to rouse the director of the

him that I have a sudden attack of indisposition,
caused by the evaporations from my chemicals,

fresh air of a starry night. Above the roofs of
the Rue d’Assas, and the Rue de Madame, the
Great Bear and Pole-star are visible. To the
North, then! I take the omen!
As I draw back the curtain of the alcove where
my bed is, I hear my enemy overhead get out of
bed and place some heavy object in a box which
he locks. He is concealing something then!
Perhaps the electric machine.
