Arsenio Lupin empleó una media hora larga para abrir la segunda puerta, una puerta de cristales que daba al dormitorio. Pero lo hizo con tanta precaución, que aun en el caso de que la condesa no estuviera dormida, ningún crujido extraño la hubiera inquietado. Conforme a las indicaciones de su plano, no tenía más que seguir el contorno de un canapé. Esto lo llevaba a una butaca y luego a una mesita situada cerca de la cama. Sobre la mesa había una cajita de papel de cartas, y encerrada simplemente en esa caja estaba la perla negra.

Il raconte de nouveau quelques moments de sa guerre, comment il a rencontré la mort et ce qu'il en a vu. Tout est clair. On y comprend ainsi, mieux que dans le récit haletant d'autrefois, le déroulement d'un combat d'infanterie au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. [...]" Michel Bernard.
