Delattre to hear: “Doctor, I have a very painful task to fulfill and I shall be very grateful to you if you will make it as easy for me as you can.”
“Who are you, sir?”
“M. Thezard, commissary of police of the first district; and my instructions are to take you to M. Dudouis, at the prefecture.”MoreLess
