As I was reading this I thought to myself that it felt a lot like the Sherlock Holmes stories. Maybe that's just what you get with a lot of detective books but there must have been a lot of people inspired by those stories back then so it's understandable. I really liked Mlle. Augustin, she was just trying to add a little spice to her life whilst getting that coin. The ending felt odd to me, a bit abrupt I think.
