I listened to an audiobook through Librivox which had a different reader for each chapter. The reason for this is that each chapter was originally published as a short story in the French magazine Je Sais Tout. The book is very episodic with just a thread of plot that carries through each chapter. I understand that is exactly what happens in the sequel but never again afterward due to copyright issues.
Holmes does not apprehend the thief (for Holmes is indeed too late, as the title of the chapter states), but he suspects their paths will cross again. He has one real adversary, Detective Ganimard, who arrests Lupin in the first chapter and later becomes quite good friends with him.Īs stated, in the final chapter, Lupin meets Sherlock Holmes, who naturally recognizes an intellect on par with his own. Therefore, it can be assumed that if a theft has no evidence, that theft was likely committed by Lupin. His thefts leave the police baffled, for he leaves no trace. He charms everyone he meets, most of whom do not know he is a thief and that he will likely steal their jewels/furniture/paintings/etc. Grant, of course is the epitome of a gentleman and Arsène Lupin is no different. I can’t help but be reminded of Cary Grant in Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief.
