The Widow Lerouge

CHAPTER VII
30/39

I cause my man to be arrested, and, twenty minutes later, he is standing before me.

I do not amuse myself by putting questions to him, more or less subtle.

No, I go straight to the mark.

I overwhelm him at once by the weight of my certainty, prove to him so clearly that I know everything, that he must surrender, seeing no chance of escape.
I should say to him, 'My good man, you bring me an _alibi_; it is very well; but I am acquainted with that system of defence.

It will not do with me.
