Arthur was surprised and said, "You know me?"
Thiers saw that Arthur did not deny it, and smiled smugly, "I don't know you, but I guessed you might be."
As a detective, Arthur was intrigued and probed, "Why were you so sure in your guess?"
"It's very simple."
Thiers began, "First of all, your frock coat is the current fashion in London. Your skin is pale, your stature is tall, your eyes are large, but their color is quite light, and your face shape is very different from the French. These are important characteristics of the English. Second, I received news from the Academy of Sciences that an English gentleman is set to present Mr. Poisson with the Copley Medal from the Royal Society today. Lastly, I heard from Mr. Talleyrand's niece that her uncle's old friend, Sir Arthur Hastings with a scar at the corner of his eye, had already set off for Paris. Her uncle's friends are my friends, so I specially came here today to await your arrival."
