"Can't you remember?"

"No, no."

"Did you drink anything?"

They considered a moment, and then one of them replied:

"Yes, I drank a little water."

"Out of that carafe?"

"Yes."

"So did I," declared the other.

Ganimard smelled and tasted it. It had no particular taste and no
odor.

"Come," he said, "we are wasting our time here. One can't decide
an Arsene Lupin problem in five minutes. But, morbleau! I swear
I will catch him again."

The same day, a charge of burglary was duly performed by Baron
Cahorn against Arsene Lupin, a prisoner in the Prison de la Sante.
