CHAPTER XXIII. THE OVERWHELMING ODDS 

At half-past ten that same evening, Blakeney, still clad in a workman's tattered clothes, his feet bare so that he could tread the streets unheard, turned into the Rue de la Croix Blanche. 

The porte-cochere of the house where Armand lodged had been left on the latch; not a soul was in sight. Peering cautiously round, he slipped into the house. On the ledge of the window, immediately on his left when he entered, a candle was left burning, and beside it there was a scrap of paper with the initials S. P. roughly traced in pencil. No one challenged him as he noiselessly glided past it, and up the narrow stairs that led to the upper floor. Here, too, on the second landing the door on the right had been left on the latch. He pushed it open and entered. 

As is usual even in the meanest lodgings in Paris houses, a small antechamber gave between the front door and the main room. When Percy entered the antechamber was unlighted, but the door into the inner room beyond was ajar. Blakeney approached it with noiseless tread, and gently pushed it open. 

That very instant he knew that the game was up; he heard the footsteps closing up behind him, saw Armand, deathly pale, leaning against the wall in the room in front of him, and Chauvelin and Heron standing guard over him. 

The next moment the room and the antechamber were literally alive with soldiers--twenty of them to arrest one man. 

Now, provide a numbered list of answers to these questions:

1. Was is 5 pm in the story?
2. What time was it?
3. Who had no shoes on?
4. Why?

KAPITEL XXIII. ÖVERVAKNINGSODDERNA Vid halvförflutet tio samma kväll, Blakeney, fortfarande klädd i en arbetares sönderslitna kläder, hans fötter bar så att han kunde trampa gatorna ohörd, förvandlades till Rue de la Croix Blanche. Porte-cochere av huset där Armand bodde hade lämnats på låset; inte en själ var i sikte. Han gled försiktigt runt och gled in i huset. På fönstrets avsats, omedelbart på hans vänstra, då han trädde in, lämnades ett ljus brinnande, och bredvid det fanns ett pappersskrot med initialerna S. P. grovt spårat i blyerts. Ingen utmanade honom, då han ljudlöst glidade förbi den, och uppför de smala trappor, som ledde till övre våningen. Även här, vid den andra landningen hade dörren till höger lämnats kvar på låset. Han tryckte upp den och gick in. Som vanligt äfven i de elakaste logementer i Paris hus, gaf en liten förtekamber mellan ytterdörren och storrummet. När Percy kom in i förkammarsalen var det inte ljust, men dörren in i det inre rummet bortom var på glänt. Blakeney närmade sig den med ljudlös slitbana, och tryckte försiktigt upp den. Just i samma ögonblick visste han, att spelet var uppe; han hörde fotstegen sluta sig bakom honom, såg Armand, dödsblek, lutad mot väggen i rummet framför sig, och Chauvelin och Heron stodo vakt över honom. I nästa ögonblick var rummet och förrummet bokstavligen levande med soldater - tjugo av dem för att arrestera en man. Ge nu en numrerad lista med svar på dessa frågor: 1. Var det fem i berättelsen? 2. Vad var klockan? 3. Vem hade inga skor på sig? 4. Varför? 5. Var han uppklädd? 6. Vad hade han på sig? 7. Vad gjorde han innan han halkade in i hemmet? 8. Vad såg han plötsligt? 9. Ja Vad såg han plötsligt efter att ha gått in? 10. Var den tänd? 11. Hur många poliser kom dit för att föra bort honom? 12. vad låg bredvid den upplysta vaxsaken? 13. Hur stod namnet på tidningen? 14. Var det fint gjort? 15. Hur gick det till?
CHAPTER XXIII. THE MONITORING ODGS At half past ten that night, Blakeney, still dressed in a worker's torn clothes, his feet wore so that he could tread the streets unheard of, turned into Rue de la Croix Blanche. Porte-cochere of the house where Armand lived had been left on the lock; not a soul was in sight. He gently slid around and slid into the house. On the ledge of the window, immediately on his left, when he entered, a light was left burning, and next to there was a scrap of paper with the initials S. P. roughly traced in pencil. No one challenged him, as he silently slipped past it, and up the narrow stairs, which led to the upper floor. Also here, by the second landing, the door to the right had been left on the lock. He pushed it up and went in. As usual, even in the meanest lodgings in the House of Paris, a small pre-chamber was given between the front door and the main room. When Percy entered the forechamber hall, it was not bright, but the door into the inner room beyond was on the clearing. Blakeney approached it with noiseless tread, gently pushing it up. Right at the same moment he knew that the game was up; he heard the footsteps join him, saw Armand, pale of death, leaning against the wall of the room in front of him, and Chauvelin and Heron stood guard over him. The next moment, the room and the front room were literally alive with soldiers - twenty of them to arrest a man. Now give a numbered list of answers to these questions: 1. Was there five in the story? 2. What time was it? 3. Who was not wearing shoes? 4. Why? 5. Was he dressed up? 6. What was he wearing? 7. What did he do before he slipped into the home? 8. What did he suddenly see? 9. Yes What did he suddenly see after entering? 10. Was it lit? 11. How many policemen came there to take him away? 12. what was next to the illuminated wax thing? 13. How was the name of the paper? 14. Was that nice? 15. How did that happen?
