apartment. He also knew how police think. So, he did not hide the letter where he knew they would look
for it.
"Do you remember how Germont laughed when I said the mystery was difficult for him to solve because
it was so simple?"
Dupin filled his pipe with tobacco and lit it."Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the police
could not find the letter because D"Arcy had not hidden it at all.
"So I went to visit D"Arcy in his apartment. I took a pair of dark green eyeglasses with me. I explained to
him that I was having trouble with my eyes and needed to wear the dark glasses at all times. He believed me.
The glasses permitted me to look around the apartment while I seemed only to be talking to him.
"I paid special attention to a large desk where there were a lot of papers and books. However, I saw
nothing suspicious there. After a few minutes, however, I noticed a small shelf over the fireplace. A few
postcards and a letter were lying on the shelf. The letter looked very old and dirty.
"As soon as I saw this letter, I decided it must be the one I was looking for. It must be, even though it
was completely different from the one Germont had described.
"This letter had a large green stamp on it. The address was written in small letters in blue ink. I memorized
every detail of the letter while I talked to D"Arcy. Then when he was not looking, I dropped one of my gloves
on the floor under my chair.
"The next morning, I stopped at his apartment to look for my glove. While we were talking, we heard
people shouting in the street. D"Arcy went to the window and looked out. Quickly, I stepped to the shelf and
put the letter in my pocket. Then I replaced it with a letter that looked exactly like it, which I had made it the
night before.
"The trouble in the street was caused by a man who had almost been run over by a horse and carriage. He
was not hurt. And soon the crowd of people went away. When it was over, D"Arcy came away from the
window. I said goodbye and left.
"The man who almost had an accident was one of my servants(雇员). I had paid him to create the
incident."
Dupin stopped talking to light his pipe. I did not understand."But, Dupin," I said,"why did you go to the
trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave?"
Dupin smiled."D"Arcy is a dangerous man," he said."And he has many loyal servants. If I had taken the
letter, I might never have left his apartment alive."
B. A professor.
C. An official.
D. A detective.
B. He dropped it carelessly.
C. He dropped it in order to drop in on D"Arcy again.

B. An unexpected accident
