Seems like Antoine did swipe a few material souvenirs from this adventure after all!
And ten points to whoever can tell me what tune he's whistling in the last panel... ;-)

Also, that's Emerald's lovely assistant Jade Doyle communicating with him over his time travel device.

Ha ha ha a thief to the end! I wonder what secrets the cane will reveal?

It's very well suited for hitting people with it! :-D

(Or, as you would say: To be determined. Perhaps it is just a normal cane. Or perhaps someday I'll come up with something really good instead...)

I want to say blue Danube but it dosn't look right for that

Would be a good choice too - but nope!

Here's a hind:
"Blue Danube" is Austrian, but Antoine is a French guy! ;-)

The cane... and Ruby-Ann's bug necklace!
(Uh-oh, temporal contamination by future tech..)

Oh my!
Y'know, I saw that, but, for some odd reason, I figured that they'd given that to him to keep him quiet. WHY I thought that, I couldn't say, but, it does indeed make more sense that he would have lifted it!

Well, I have to admit that I've drawn the moment the thievery is happening a bit awkwardly:
Panel 1: Ruby-Ann still has the necklace.
Panel 2: We see Antoine stretching out his arm. (Even though he seems to be far too much away for this to work...)
Panel 3: The necklace is gone!
