They must have wondered why it was standing in front of a half-built house.

Somebody may have actually seen the burglars loading it, though it was so early in the morning.

Bonavent had better inquire at every house in the street on which that half-built house faces.

Did you happen to notice the name of it ?" said M.Formery.
"It's Sureau Street," said Guerchard.

"But Dieusy has been hunting the neighbourhood for some one who saw the burglars loading their conveyance, or saw it waiting to be loaded, for the last hour." "Good," said M.Formery.
