"I mean that there may be people interested in having such an article
published, and I wish to know who they are." "You are perfectly justified, Monsieur; but only one person can tell you that--the writer of the article." "It is for that reason, Monsieur, that I desire to know his name." "He does not conceal it," said Fremin. "The pseudonym is only designed as a stimulant to curiosity; but Puck is a corporeal being." "I am glad to hear it," said Zilah. "Now, will you be kind enough to give me his name?" "Paul Jacquemin." Zilah knew the name well, having seen it at the end of a report of his river fete; but he hardly thought Jacquemin could be so well informed. Since he had lived in France, the Hungarian exile had not been accustomed to regard Paris as a sort of gossiping village, where everything is found out, talked over, and commented upon with eager curiosity, and where every one's aim is to appear to have the best and most correct information. "I must ask you now, Monsieur, where Monsieur Paul Jacquemin lives?" "Rue Rochechouart, at the corner of the Rue de la Tour d'Auvergne." "Thank you, Monsieur," said Andras, rising, the object of his call having been accomplished. |
