:41:03
Come back for it.
:41:18
Mademoiselle!
:41:20
l've no wish to arouse suspicion,
so l'll be brief.
:41:23
The letter is from the Chevalier Danceny.
:41:26
-Yes, l thought--
-Now, the handing over of such letters...
:41:29
...is a far from easy matter to accomplish.
:41:32
l cannot be expected to create
a diversion every day.
:41:36
So....
:41:38
This key resembles your bedroom key.
:41:40
l happen to know it is kept
in your mother's room...
:41:42
...on the mantelpiece,
tied with a blue ribbon.
:41:44
Take it,
go up and attach the blue ribbon to it...
:41:47
...and put it in the place
of your bedroom key.
:41:48
Bring it to me and l will get
a copy cut within two hours.
:41:52
Then l can collect your letters
and deliver Danceny's...
:41:55
...without any complications.
:41:57
Now, in the cupboard by your bed...
:42:00
...you'll find a feather
and a small bottle of oil...
:42:02
...so that you may oil the lock
and hinges on the ante-room door.
:42:06
Are you sure, Monsieur?
:42:08
Trust me.
:42:13
Believe me, Mademoiselle...
:42:15
...if there's one thing l can't abide,
it's deceitfulness.
:42:43
l trust you are feeling a little better,
Madame.
:42:54
lf l were ill, Monsieur, it would not be
difficult to guess who was responsible.
