My dear Poe, would you mind, uh, stirring up the fire a bit?
Not at all.
Ah.
This autumn weather gets into one's bones.
Ah, that is better.
Also, it gives me more light to enjoy the smoke of my pipe.
We could light the lamp, but you always say you think better in the dark.
Well, light it if you like, by all means.
I think we may be having a visitor soon.
And besides, why do you suppose I have been thinking?
Your guess was right about the visitor.
Who is it?
Well, I imagine it is Monsieur le Préfet.
He has not been here for a month.
It would take him that long to make up his mind to appeal to me again.
And that's why you should be thinking.
You think so?
Don't you? I'm sure Her Highness the Princess wouldn't share your calmness, nor will Monsieur le Préfet.
We shall see.
Ah, good evening, Garon.
Good evening, Dupin, Monsieur Poe.
Good evening, Monsieur le Préfet.
Sit down, Garon, sit down.
We haven't seen you here of late.
