- So he's turned up, has he?Copy !req
417. ls all that noise wise?Copy !req
418. It's Michel's signal; if we just ring,
Plantiveau won't open upCopy !req
419. - He sleeps like a log
- I'll wake himCopy !req
420. I thought it was the HeadmasterCopy !req
421. Is he away?Copy !req
422. How should I know?Copy !req
423. - You look tired
- Is that so surprising?Copy !req
424. Sorry we woke you. Good nightCopy !req
425. We don't need spotlights for our sceneCopy !req
426. Or musicCopy !req
427. The lavatoriesCopy !req
428. Pasquel... he goes every nightCopy !req
429. He might look outCopy !req
430. Can you see him?Copy !req
431. No, the water's too dirty,
or it's too far awayCopy !req
432. There's nothing to seeCopy !req
433. Why stay there? We don't find himCopy !req
434. It stinks in hereCopy !req
435. - The Head's not back
- He's out chasing skirtCopy !req
436. - Aren't two birds enough for him?
- I'll have heaps when I grow upCopy !req
437. Just like Napoléon and Louis XlVCopy !req
438. - Think you're Napoléon?
- Me? I'm HawkeyeCopy !req
439. - Stop playing the goat, Moinet
- I'm not a goat, I'm a redskinCopy !req
440. Take twenty lines: "My foolish remarks
rouse my fellows to hilarity"Copy !req
441. What's this I hear? The Head absent?Copy !req
442. Yes... three meals
with undoctored wineCopy !req
443. Where can he be?Copy !req
444. I saw him at eight a.m. Two days ago;
by midday, he was goneCopy !req
445. And hasn't reappeared?Copy !req
446. How strange; that isn't like himCopy !req
447. Poor Madame Delassalle
had problems enoughCopy !req
448. lfshe feels like me, he can stay where
he is. But he'll be back soon enoughCopy !req
449. So will our watered wineCopy !req
450. You'd think he was not seeing it
on purposeCopy !req
451. The body sankCopy !req
452. - Will it come up?
- I'm sure of itCopy !req
453. - How soon?
- Who knows? Tonight, tomorrowCopy !req
454. I can't just waitCopy !req
455. We can't have the pool emptiedCopy !req
456. Why not, if the water's dirty?Copy !req
457. With what's in there?Copy !req
458. I'll take the responsibilityCopy !req
459. You're being childishCopy !req
460. This is hopeless: no marksCopy !req
461. You're so calm...
I've marked this wronglyCopy !req
462. - Rub it out
- I haven't a rubberCopy !req
463. All right, I'll have it emptied
tomorrowCopy !req
464. I hope we won't regret itCopy !req
465. Don't bite your nailsCopy !req
466. That's what I've been waiting forCopy !req
467. - Don't look
- Do something... you promisedCopy !req
468. Give me your keys;
we'll get things goingCopy !req
469. You'd better get the vaulting poleCopy !req
470. Here, Soudieu...Copy !req
471. let's see how fast you can runCopy !req
472. Not much good at throwing,
are you, Mademoiselle?Copy !req
473. It's lucky I'm a champion frogmanCopy !req
474. - I forbid it
- He's a championCopy !req
475. - He's taking his time
- Maybe he's drowningCopy !req
476. I saw this shiningCopy !req
477. The Head's lighter? No keys?Copy !req
478. It's dark down thereCopy !req
479. Get dressed before you catch coldCopy !req
480. I think we'll have to empty the poolCopy !req
481. That's rightCopy !req
482. Send Plantiveau to meCopy !req
483. The bell's gone; offyou goCopy !req
484. - It's deep where you are
- I can swimCopy !req
485. It's swimmers who drown;
non-swimmers keep awayCopy !req
486. I want the pool cleanedCopy !req
487. Now? I'm not dressed for it;
I was going to the barber'sCopy !req
488. It's urgent. Do it for me, PlantiveauCopy !req
489. Very well, but it takes an hour
just to drainCopy !req
490. Behave yourselves; she's upsetCopy !req
491. Why are you staring at me?Copy !req
492. Now we'll continue with the problem
about the hexagonCopy !req
493. I'm waitingCopy !req
494. Get out your exercise booksCopy !req
495. I'll be right backCopy !req
496. It's impossible;
I must have been mistakenCopy !req
497. You weren't mistakenCopy !req
498. - He's not there any more?
- No, he's notCopy !req
499. The doctorCopy !req
500. It's the void, the empty poolCopy !req
501. Agoraphobia... makes you dizzyCopy !req
502. Nature abhors a voidCopy !req
503. Better a full bottle; right, Plantiveau?Copy !req
504. ls the Headmistress feeling better?Copy !req
505. Doctor Loisy's with herCopy !req
506. Prep for her class, Monsieur Raymond;
keep an eye on mine, Monsieur DrainCopy !req
507. Madame Delassalle may need meCopy !req
508. She's giving the orders, you noticeCopy !req
509. Wear and tear: comes to all of usCopy !req
510. Where's her husband?
He'd better hurry backCopy !req
511. Meanwhile, no excitement;
keep her very quietCopy !req
512. Do you think a specialist...Copy !req
513. I'll call Bridoux, if you likeCopy !req
514. Not young, but a good man.
Keeps a good table, tooCopy !req
515. You can give her digitalisCopy !req
516. - The doctor said...
- I don't care. Close the shutters. GoCopy !req
517. Oh no, that's too easyCopy !req
518. Do you think a bodyjust walks away?Copy !req
519. Someone moved him, and Plantiveau
says he didn't open the gateCopy !req
520. - Why should he lie?
- I didn't say he liedCopy !req
521. But I've searched everywhereCopy !req
522. Attic, cellars, garden...
no body, nor signs ofdiggingCopy !req
523. The whole thing's insaneCopy !req
524. It has been all along. It was one
of your silly maths problems...Copy !req
525. about taps running and tanks filling,
and you turned it into a crimeCopy !req
526. That's what's insane: baths filling
and pools emptying in real lifeCopy !req
527. I was mad to have listened to youCopy !req
528. It's the suit the Headmaster wore
these last few daysCopy !req
529. His Prince ofWalesCopy !req
530. - Who brought it?
- A dry cleanerCopy !req
531. I don't know which one.
A delivery tricycle, it wasCopy !req
532. Conscientious lad...
made sure he had the right addressCopy !req
533. From Monsieur Delassalle, he saidCopy !req
534. "You saw Monsieur Delassalle?"
I askedCopy !req
535. "No", he said, "l was just told
that it was urgent"Copy !req
536. Shall I hang it up?Copy !req
537. Leave it thereCopy !req
538. It's hisCopy !req
539. It's enough to drive one madCopy !req
540. Wait...Copy !req
541. Did you deliver a suit
in Saint-Cloud this morning?Copy !req
542. - What name?
- Madame DelassalleCopy !req
543. ls something wrong?Copy !req
544. No, but who left it?
A Prince ofWales suitCopy !req
545. We get lots of thoseCopy !req
546. I remember: a thin gentleman, very
dark, with a bamboo cigarette-holderCopy !req
547. Wait... that foolish boy forgot
to take thisCopy !req
548. It was in the hip pocketCopy !req
549. Eden HotelCopy !req
550. Room 9Copy !req
551. Funny life your husband leadsCopy !req
552. The boy could return the keyCopy !req
553. - Do you know the hotel?
- It's furnished apartments; very plushCopy !req
554. First on the right, number 27Copy !req
555. - Suppose they ask questions?
- Unlikely in this placeCopy !req
556. It's a trap... a blackmailerCopy !req
557. At least we'll know who he isCopy !req
558. - What are you doing here?
- I'm looking for Monsieur DelasalleCopy !req
559. He's never here in the daytimeCopy !req
560. When does he come in?Copy !req
561. Who knows? His bed's never slept inCopy !req
562. You see? No clothes, no suitcase.
NothingCopy !req
563. Funny sort oftenantCopy !req
564. Have you seen him?Copy !req
565. Never; nor has the night porterCopy !req
566. Why all the questions?Copy !req
567. He's my husbandCopy !req
568. Poor lady... you won't find him hereCopy !req
569. He's somewhere elseCopy !req
570. What's happening to us?Copy !req
571. I don't know. It makes no senseCopy !req
572. An unpaid bill, two years old.
I can see the bailiffs in the offingCopy !req
573. Send them half, keep them quietCopy !req
574. - Was he really dead?
- You should know, better than meCopy !req
575. - What do you mean by that?
- You killed him, didn't you?Copy !req
576. You planned the whole thingCopy !req
577. We planned it,
and you telephoned himCopy !req
578. I wouldn't have known
how to get the drugCopy !req
579. - But you got him to drink it
- I didn't want to, you know I didn'tCopy !req
580. You could have let him sleep it offCopy !req
581. Who pushed him under?Copy !req
582. And who brought the heavy bronze?Copy !req
583. You'll see in court which of us
comes offworseCopy !req
584. I'm not afraid of that;
we'd get what we deserveCopy !req
585. - Go to the police, then
- I've thought of itCopy !req
586. So you can blame it all on me?
Well, I'm going to call them firstCopy !req
587. Go ahead;
I'll tell them the whole storyCopy !req
588. How you killed him out ofjealousy...Copy !req
589. and I helped because I pitied youCopy !req
590. You were the jealous one, because it
was over between you. You killed himCopy !req
591. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
592. Have you my paper?Copy !req
593. The ink's still dampCopy !req
594. I've nothing to sayCopy !req
595. - Where are you going?
- To ConfessionCopy !req
596. You think you'll get absolution?Copy !req
597. I can go to the policeCopy !req
598. - lnvolving me?
- I can't leave it like thisCopy !req
599. It's over, don't worry.
He's been foundCopy !req
600. NAKED BODY IN THE SElNECopy !req
601. - Why in the Seine?
- The main thing is, he's been foundCopy !req
602. It all fits: the description,
the location, the time ofdeathCopy !req
603. Our alibi will hold upCopy !req
604. The morgueCopy !req
605. I read this and I think
it may be my husbandCopy !req
606. ldentity cardCopy !req
607. Can you describe
Monsieur Delassalle?Copy !req
608. Medium height, thin, dark eyes...Copy !req
609. That's all in the paperCopy !req
610. - Can you give more precise details?
- Such as?Copy !req
611. Well, an appendix scar, for instanceCopy !req
612. He has oneCopy !req
613. - His own teeth?
- All of them, I thinkCopy !req
614. - Fillings?
- One or two, probablyCopy !req
615. - Any moles?
- Yes... on his shoulderCopy !req
616. No bracelet on his wrist?Copy !req
617. He never wore oneCopy !req
618. Anything about the right thigh?Copy !req
619. - Nothing
- Above the knee, remember?Copy !req
620. Nothing... I must be wrong, thenCopy !req
621. Bring up 4702Copy !req
622. You were right on both pointsCopy !req
623. Come with me, please, MadameCopy !req
624. - It's not him
- Are you sure?Copy !req
625. I'm sorry, this rarely happensCopy !req
626. Saint-Cloud at this hour?
You don't catch me missing my dinnerCopy !req
627. Still a bit shaken are we, dear lady?
It gets to you, doesn't it?Copy !req
628. At least it wasn't himCopy !req
629. Feeling better?Copy !req
630. I'm Alfred Fichet,
police superintendent, retiredCopy !req
631. I didn't go to the policeCopy !req
632. You didn't even inform them?Copy !req
633. You should have;
that's what they're there forCopy !req
634. I didn't think of it; I'll do itCopy !req
635. Oh, I can take care
of the matter myselfCopy !req
636. The police are so busy;
we mustn't over-burden themCopy !req
637. We'll find your husband,
shall we, you and l?Copy !req
638. I've forty years experience,
and time on my handsCopy !req
639. There's really no needCopy !req
640. if I find nothing, you owe me nothingCopy !req
641. if I do find something...
well, you be the judgeCopy !req
642. - How long have you been married?
- Eight years. But I don't see...Copy !req
643. I know what I'm doing.
So, eight years...Copy !req
644. It's boilingCopy !req
645. He had keys... came and went.
After all, he was the bossCopy !req
646. It was a holiday, tooCopy !req
647. Monsieur Delassalle... depressed?Copy !req
648. He wasn't the type,
not complicated at allCopy !req
649. Feeling ill, perhaps?Copy !req
650. Sound as a bell;
used to be a tennis championCopy !req
651. Did he get a telegram on Sunday?Copy !req
652. A phone call?Copy !req
653. Things often start that wayCopy !req
654. I couldn't say. I'd taken the wife out,
to enjoy the holidayCopy !req
655. An accident is possible. Did Monsieur
Delassalle drive fast... very fast?Copy !req
656. The ladies had the van in NiortCopy !req
657. Could he have drowned?Copy !req
658. He was like a fish in the water.
That man could really swimCopy !req
659. I think you may have been too hasty
in your alarmCopy !req
660. He's been gone only five days, and
already you're running off to the morgueCopy !req
661. It was that article in the paper,
the description...Copy !req
662. That could fit 100,000 men in Paris,
not to mention their country cousinsCopy !req
663. You suspected suicide, I suppose?Copy !req
664. Yes... I don't knowCopy !req
665. A suicide doesn't usually strip nakedCopy !req
666. I'm inclined to a much less
tragic theoryCopy !req
667. - By which I mean...
- A womanCopy !req
668. You're right. It was foolish of me
to worry and bother youCopy !req
669. No. Our agreement was that if I find
nothing, you owe me nothingCopy !req
670. But find something I willCopy !req
671. It's been so many years...Copy !req
672. Our council school at Charonne
was nothing like thisCopy !req
673. If we'd had that...Copy !req
674. You've had it emptiedCopy !req
675. - So you thought of that, too?
- Not at allCopy !req
676. What do you mean?Copy !req
677. It was emptied because I dropped
my keys in... yesterday morningCopy !req
678. Mademoiselle Horner,
our most loyal associateCopy !req
679. So it's nothing but a coincidenceCopy !req
680. All the same, you do seem to have water
very much on your minds in this houseCopy !req
681. May I see his correspondence?Copy !req
682. - You'll never find him
- How do you know?Copy !req
683. - He has a typewriter, anyhow
- To take care of billsCopy !req
684. True, Monsieur Delassalle is no writer;
perhaps he mistrusts his spellingCopy !req
685. I don't see him as despairingCopy !req
686. Well, let's do things properlyCopy !req
687. Delassalle, Michel, age 34...Copy !req
688. Height... 1 metre 70... yes, I know.
Dark hairCopy !req
689. - Eyes?
- BrownCopy !req
690. Nose... averageCopy !req
691. Normal ears. You wouldn't think such
a description would turn someone upCopy !req
692. They'll find him, though.
Those devils are goodCopy !req
693. How was he dressed that day?Copy !req
694. We weren't hereCopy !req
695. Of course. What am I thinking of?Copy !req
696. What we'll do is look in his
wardrobe and see what's missingCopy !req
697. What was the seventh pair?Copy !req
698. Brown suedeCopy !req
699. - Tie?
- Dark red with white stripesCopy !req
700. You've sharp eyes;
there are two dozen thereCopy !req
701. Now, the suitCopy !req
702. You're more familiar with his ties?Copy !req
703. A grey Prince ofWales, I thinkCopy !req
704. Like this?Copy !req
705. Madame Delassalle has a weak heartCopy !req
706. You should have told me. There's
no hurry, I've plenty to get on withCopy !req
707. Rest, dear lady, while I go and look
in on my friends at HeadquartersCopy !req
708. I'll be back, don't worryCopy !req
709. Plantiveau says he's a detectiveCopy !req
710. Private eye! Lemmy Caution!Copy !req
711. Ritberger, if you've finished,
I can find more work for youCopy !req
712. The Church knew the importance
of Latin, I can tell you thatCopy !req
713. Every last village priest knows LatinCopy !req
714. But isn't particularly intelligentCopy !req
715. It isn't his business to be...Copy !req
716. Not in class, Moinet?Copy !req
717. The Head's punishing meCopy !req
718. What nonsense!Copy !req
719. Why would he punish you?Copy !req
720. I broke a windowCopy !req
721. Could the Headmaster be back?Copy !req
722. Tell me the truth. Who punished you?Copy !req
723. The HeadmasterCopy !req
724. - Don't lie to me
- I'm not lyingCopy !req
725. You're frightening himCopy !req
726. Be good and tell me everything,
and I'll let you off your punishmentCopy !req
727. - How did you break the window?
- With my catapultCopy !req
728. The Head opened the door, and said l
was to fill the wheelbarrow with leavesCopy !req
729. That's impossible,
you know he isn't hereCopy !req
730. He's a born liar; last week he said
he fought a lion at the county fairCopy !req
731. No one else has seen the Head,
but there is indeed a broken windowCopy !req
732. He can't have invented the storyCopy !req
733. A case of auto-suggestion, perhapsCopy !req
734. He breaks a window,
expects punishmentCopy !req
735. Darkness and his subconscious
do the restCopy !req
736. - Do you really believe that?
- Yes, he imagined his punishmentCopy !req
737. I say he's just trying to pull our legsCopy !req
738. The catapultCopy !req
739. The Head confiscated itCopy !req
740. Enough is enough, MoinetCopy !req
741. Excuse me, I feel rather tired;
I must restCopy !req
742. You may leave the matter in our hands,
HeadmistressCopy !req
743. We've been very patient with you,
MoinetCopy !req
744. You may go and stand in the corner
until you decide to tell the truthCopy !req
745. We'll see who weakens firstCopy !req
746. I saw him; I know I didCopy !req
747. It wasn't Moinet who put the catapult
there. Who was it?Copy !req
748. Someone, I don't know...Copy !req
749. - Just chance?
- Yes, chanceCopy !req
750. Just chance that Fichet
was at the morgueCopy !req
751. The suit, the hotel, now the boys...Copy !req
752. is all that just chance?Copy !req
753. Calm down. I'm nervy, tooCopy !req
754. There must be an explanation.
Miracles don't happen... unfortunatelyCopy !req
755. I keep expecting to see him walk inCopy !req
756. He must be in a dreadful stateCopy !req
757. if he's deadCopy !req
758. I've seen bodies before;
Michel is dead, believe meCopy !req
759. - Lie down and stop worrying
- How can l?Copy !req
760. You must sleep. Doctor Loisy
is very worriedCopy !req
761. Professor Bridoux is coming tomorrowCopy !req
762. What's the use? I'm done for nowCopy !req
763. Keep your voices down;
the Headmistress is very illCopy !req
764. You may go, temporarilyCopy !req
765. Go and be photographedCopy !req
766. It's no good without the Head
and HeadmistressCopy !req
767. Better luck next yearCopy !req
768. - Bench in front of the window?
- Why not the door?Copy !req
769. Can't you see the car?
A professor's up thereCopy !req
770. I must go and attend to my jobCopy !req
771. I'll see the professor outCopy !req
772. We've been a little unwise,
so we're going to take a long restCopy !req
773. - Can I get up?
- We'll see in a day or twoCopy !req
774. Will the stairs be too much for me?Copy !req
775. You're to stay where you are
until further noticeCopy !req
776. - My clinic is rather costly, so...
- There are no heirs, you knowCopy !req
777. I know, but I don't care to see
hearses at the doorCopy !req
778. Nor do my patientsCopy !req
779. What luck, no one movedCopy !req
780. It's quite good of me...
in the place of honour for onceCopy !req
781. People will think I'm the headCopy !req
782. - What's this in the window?
- It looks like the HeadCopy !req
783. I didn't see anythingCopy !req
784. Just a reflection, or damp spot...Copy !req
785. shaped a bit like the Head's
featuresCopy !req
786. Maybe it was him... not wanting
to disturb us, or having a little jokeCopy !req
787. I don't see him playing hide-and-seekCopy !req
788. Did you notice anything?Copy !req
789. I was too busyCopy !req
790. Let's settle the matterCopy !req
791. Moinet, did you see the Headmaster?Copy !req
792. No, I've had enoughCopy !req
793. So, no one was hereCopy !req
794. Good; a concierge likes to know
who's coming and goingCopy !req
795. - I'm frightened
- So am lCopy !req
796. We must get awayCopy !req
797. Get dressedCopy !req
798. I'm supposed to stay in bed.
Where would we go?Copy !req
799. My houseCopy !req
800. In Niort? Don't you think he'll be
there, more than anywhere?Copy !req
801. Then we'll just goCopy !req
802. It won't do any goodCopy !req
803. - I can't stay here
- You go, thenCopy !req
804. But I can't leave youCopy !req
805. You'll get on fine without me,
and I don't want to see you againCopy !req
806. I'd rather face what's coming...
is bound to come...Copy !req
807. on my ownCopy !req
808. You hate me?Copy !req
809. Not even thatCopy !req
810. Where's the red case I lent you?Copy !req
811. In the bottom of the wardrobeCopy !req
812. - You really think we should part now?
- Yes, it's bestCopy !req
813. I wish you wellCopy !req
814. "Tremble," she said, "daughterofmineCopy !req
815. "My fearfor you is vengeance divine"Copy !req
816. - What are you doing here?
- Watching youCopy !req
