"Then listen to me. How did you know that Dugrival carried all his money in his pocket?"
"Servants' gossip...."
"A young man-servant whom we had in our employ: was that it?"

"You fool! You fool!... What! You rob my man, you drive him to kill himself and, instead of making tracks to the uttermost ends of the earth and hiding yourself, you go on playing Lupin in the heart of Paris!... Did you forget that I swore, on my dead husband's head, to find his murderer?"
"That's what staggers me," said Lupin. "How did you come to suspect me?"
"How? Why, you gave yourself away!"
