even if he's 20 years old, his mother always opens all his letters; he tried to tell her to stop it, but neither he or his sisters ever succeeded. He is used to being the subject of such jokes, even a friend of his, Clovis, the next day at the swimming pool, makes fun of him. A couple of days later, a letter for Bertie arrived at his house but, as he was not at home, his mother intercepted and read it: some mysterious words were written in there: voices about nerves and jewels... and signature: Clotilde. Who was then the girl trying to hire up his son for something mysterious? Bertie, when he arrived at home, didn't answer: he grabbed some food and closed himself up in his bedroom. He would never give an explanation, even at the arrival of a second letter by Clotilde, in which she congratulated Bertie for the perfect murder of Dagmar, which looks like a real suicide, and telling him not to touch the jewels. His mother shouted at his door repeatedly, until a third letter came: inThis letter the joke's explained;
Clotilde was a fictional name created by Clovis, Bertie's friend, and the letters were just a sort of trap for the way-too-curious mother, who had to promise she'll never read the family's correspondence any more.
