Is he real or unreal? Is he the assassin of Asia or is he a fraud, a plant? She phoned me herself one night in Nice after too many brandies—a night perhaps you recall, Monsieur le Caméléon—a terribly expensive restaurant outside Parisin the name of powerful, unnamed people you threatened her! You demanded that she reveal what she knew about a certain acquaintance of hers—who it was at the time I had no idea—but you frightened herShe said you appeared deranged, that your eyes became glazed and you uttered words in a language she could not understand “I remember,” interrupted Bourne icily“We had dinner and I threatened her and she was frightenedShe went to the ladies’ room, paid someone to make a phone call, and I had to get out of there “And now the Deuxième is allied with those powerful unnamed people?” Dominique Lavier shook her head repeatedly and lowered her voice“No, messieurs, I am a survivor and I do not fight against such oddsOne knows when to pass the shoe in baccarat After a short period of silence, Bernardine spoke“What’s your address on the avenue Montaigne?
