three o'clock
The lady answers that she is under the dominion of an enemy , Bresson , no doubt , and that she is lost unless some one comes to her assistance . Lupin , who is suspicious and dares not yet have an interview with the stranger , asks for the address and suggests an inquiry . The lady hesitates for four days -- see the dates -- and , at last , under the pressure of events and the influence of Bresson 's threats , gives the name of her street , the Rue Murillo . The next day , Arsène Lupin advertises that he will be in the Parc Monceau at three o'clock and asks the stranger to wear a bunch of violets as a token . Here follows an interruption of eight days in the correspondence . Arsène Lupin and the lady no longer need write through the medium of the paper : they see each other or correspond direct . The plot is contrived : to satisfy Bresson 's requirements , the lady will take the Jewish lamp .
