Text 3 As I went into the Casino with the friends at whose villa I was staying, I saw Percy again. Actually, he was with friends him self and I didn't have the opportunity o f doing more than bid him good evening. Indeed, my attention was quickly diverted by the young and attractive Marquise de Beauvallon, who was making what appeared to be a scene at No. 3 Roulette table. Eventually, the ever-tactful Francois, who runs the casino for the municipality, bore her to one side and with suave gestures and sympathetic murmurs soothed her down. A little later, I managed to get Francois alone and asked him what Mme de Beauvallon's trouble was. He shrugged his shoulders: «She says she had 20,000 francs stolen from her bag - the money she had just won when No. 18 turned up. I was surprised. This was the first time in all the years I had been to San Carolino that an incident o f this kind had happened in the Casino. Occasional arguments there had been, o f course, over the usual question as to whether chips had been deposited after the croupier had called «rien ne va plus» but a theft 'in mid-Casino', so to speak, and o f this magnitude, had never to my knowledge occurred. During the next few days, however, incidents o f this nature were to recur - though in different ways. There was M. Reveiller, the Paris couturier, who had an extremely valuable gold cigarette case stolen from his waistcoat pocket; and Miss Baba Engelmann, who missed a diamond-studded bracelet when she was at the 78 baccarat table - and, o f course, the Moldavian military attache, who had a wad o f currency stolen from his overcoat - currency that he had so carefully smuggled out o f his own country.» Now these incidents, serious though they were in themselves, were fairly effectively hushed up by the management, and few o f the main body o f people frequenting the Casino knew that anything was amiss. But F r a n c is realized clearly, and I realized too that an extraordinarily clever thief was in our midst. The local police were therefore brought in to aid the resident Casino detective, and Francois told me confidently that it was only a matter o f time before the culprit was laid by the heels. For myself, I must say that secretly I began rather to enjoy the hunt. жүктеу/скачать 7,88 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
