Dupin , sitting steadily in his accustomed arm-chair , was the embodiment of respectful attention . He wore spectacles , during the whole interview ; and an occasional signal glance beneath their green glasses , sufficed to convince me that he slept not the less soundly , because silently , throughout the seven or eight leaden-footed hours which immediately preceded the departure of the Prefect . In the morning , I procured , at the Prefecture , a full report of all the evidence elicited , and , at the various newspaper offices , a copy of every paper in which , from first to last , had been published any decisive information in regard to this sad affair . Freed from all that was positively disproved , this mass of information stood thus : Marie Rogêt left the residence of her mother , in the Rue Pavée St. Andrée , about nine o'clock in the morning of Sunday June the twenty-second , 18 -- . In going out , she gave notice to a Monsieur Jacques St. Eustache , -LRB- * 7 -RRB- and to him only , of her intent intention to spend the day with an aunt who resided in the Rue des Drômes . The Rue des Drômes is a short and narrow but populous thoroughfare , not far from the banks of the river , and at a distance of some two miles , in the most direct course possible , from the pension of Madame Rogêt . St. Eustache was the accepted suitor of Marie , and lodged , as well as took his meals , at the pension .
