He went to his flat in the Rue Chateaubriand, telephoned for three of his friends, dressed and made himself up in his favourite character of a Russian prince, with fair hair and moustache and short-cut whiskers.

The accomplices arrived in a motor-car.

Lupin está realizando un robo, pero una persona termina

Irgendwann in den frühen 2000ern habe ich den "Kristallstöpsel" schon einmal und erinnerte mich an: Nichts! Arsène Lupins Jagd nach dem Kristallstöpsel, im Wettlauf gegen zahlreiche Gegner und die Zeit (schließlich sollen seine Komplizen hingerichtet werden) war eine kurzweilige und abwechslungsreic

Another exciting reading from Arsene Lupin's serial. This time, Maurice decided to make everything against Lupin just like what happened with Sherlock in (Sherlock Holmes vs Arsene Lupin).
