Les Folies Bergère

The two midgets the other side of the gallery looked round the great bell at the hanging flap of the trapdoor. ‘No one can survive a fall like that,’ observed one. In French.

‘No,’ agreed the other. ‘We have done what La Puce requires.’

‘Do we remove the body?’

‘No. We had no instructions to do that. When she is found in the morning it will be reported just as the death of another over-enthusiastic tourist.’

‘And do we remove the paintings?’

‘Were we instructed to remove the paintings?’

‘No.’

‘Then we do not remove them. When one is working for La Puce one does what is demanded of one – and nothing else! La Puce has no admiration for people who think for themselves.’

‘Very good. So our job here is done.’

‘It certainly is. Another triumph for … les rats de Paris!’

And they both let out evil laughs. In French, of course.
