Excerpt from The Hippodrome "Aujourd'hui le primtetemps, Ninon, demain l'hiver. Quoi! tu nas pas l'etoile, est tu vas sur la mer!" De Musset. Count Emile Poleski was obliged to be at the Barcelona Station at five o'clock in the afternoon one hot Friday in May. His business, having to do with that which was known to himself and his associates as "the Cause, " necessitated careful attention, and required the performance of certain manoeuvres in such a way that they should be unobserved by the various detectives to whom he was an object of interest. He looked round, scowling, till he found the man he wanted, and who was to all outward appearances the driver of one of the row of fiacres that waited outside the station.
