There was nothing notable about him, except a slight\u003cbr\u003econtrast between the holiday gaiety of his clothes and the official\u003cbr\u003egravity of his face. His clothes included a slight, pale grey jacket,\u003cbr\u003ea white waistcoat, and a silver straw hat with a grey-blue ribbon. His\u003cbr\u003elean face was dark by contrast, and ended in a curt black beard that\u003cbr\u003elooked Spanish and suggested an Elizabethan ruff. He was smoking a\u003cbr\u003ecigarette with the seriousness of an idler. There was nothing about him\u003cbr\u003eto indicate the fact that the grey jacket covered a loaded revolver,\u003cbr\u003ethat the white waistcoat covered a police card, or that the straw hat\u003cbr\u003ecovered one of the most powerful intellects in Europe. For this was\u003cbr\u003eValentin himself, the head of the Paris police and the most famous\u003cbr\u003einvestigator of the world; and he was coming from Brussels to London to\u003cbr\u003emake the greatest arrest of the century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlambeau was in England. The police of three countries had tracked the\u003cbr\u003egreat criminal at last from Ghent to Brussels, from Brussels to the Hook\u003cbr\u003eof Holland; and it was conjectured that he would take some advantage of\u003cbr\u003ethe unfamiliarity and confusion of the Eucharistic Congress, then\u003cbr\u003etaking place in London. Probably he would travel as some minor clerk\u003cbr\u003eor secretary connected with it; but, of course, Valentin could not be\u003cbr\u003ecertain; nobody could be certain about Flambeau.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069656252656,"sku":"2940013081192","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013081192_p0.jpg?v=1763576125","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013081192","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
