Translations for pillage in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
|
As soon as Mon. Devanne was informed of the pillage of his castle, he said to
himself: It was Velmont who did it, and Velmont is Arsene Lupin. That theory
explained everything, and there was no other plausible explanation. And yet the
idea seemed preposterous. It was ridiculous to suppose that Velmont was anyone
else than Velmont, the famous artist, and club-fellow of his cousin d'Estevan.
So, when the captain of the gendarmes arrived to investigate the affair,
Devanne did not even think of mentioning his absurd theory.

À l’instant même où Devanne constata le pillage de son château, il se
dit : c’est Velmont qui a fait le coup, et Velmont n’est autre
qu’Arsène Lupin. Tout s’expliquait ainsi, et rien ne s’expliquait
autrement. Cette idée ne fit d’ailleurs que l’effleurer, tellement il
était invraisemblable que Velmont ne fût point Velmont, c’est-à-dire le
peintre connu, le camarade de cercle de son cousin d’Estevan. Et lorsque le
brigadier de gendarmerie, aussitôt averti, se présenta, Devanne ne songea
même pas à lui communiquer cette supposition absurde.
