How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #1
The door of our apartment was thrown open and admitted our old acquaintance, Monsieur G—, the Prefect of the Parisian police. (1)
Since G— has a key to every door in Paris, he pretty much goes where he wants and does what he wants. In other words, get your bribes ready, because this is one corrupt cop.
Quote #2
"Then we scrutinised each individual square inch throughout the premises, including the two houses immediately adjoining, with the microscope, as before." (55)
Okay, we could—maybe—understand this kind of insane intrusion of privacy for a murder investigation, but we're just talking about a royal cover-up, here.
