ten o'clock
Well , I had thought of that eventuality , too ; one must think of everything , you know -- that is where genius comes in . Then , if possible , relock the safe , so that the maid , on her return , would find everything apparently in order and would not , perhaps , raise the alarm until I was safely out of the theatre . It could be done -- oh , yes , it could be done -- with a minute to spare ! And to-morrow at ten o'clock M. Jean Duval would appear , and I would not part with the bracelet until a thousand francs had passed from his pocket into mine . I must get Theodore out of the house , by the way , before the arrival of M. Duval . A thousand francs ! I had not seen a thousand francs all at once for years .
