maintained a profound silence; while each, to any
casual observer, might have seemed intently and
exclusively occupied with the curling eddies of smoke
that oppressed the atmosphere of the chamber. For
myself, however, I was mentally discussing certain
topics which had formed matter for conversation
between us at an earlier period of the evening; I mean
the affair of the Rue Morgue, and the mystery attending
the murder of Marie Rogêt. I looked upon it, therefore,
as something of a coincidence, when the door of our
apartment was thrown open and admitted our old
acquaintance, Monsieur G-, the Prefect of the
Parisian police.
We gave him a hearty welcome; for there was nearly
half as much of the entertaining as of the contemptible
about the man, and we had not seen him for several
years. We had been sitting in the dark, and Dupin now
arose for the purpose of lighting a lamp, but sat down
again, without doing so, upon G's saying that he had
called to consult us, or rather to ask the opinion of my
friend, about some official business which had
occasioned a great deal of trouble.
