"Who can make me speak?" she cried, more angry from her fear.
"The law. When we have reached a certain stage in the inquiry, we shall be able to compel you to speak."
"I thought you couldn't move a step without me?"
Iver was rather set back, but he braved it out.
"The difficulties are immensely increased, but they're not insuperable," he said.
"I shan't stay to be questioned and bullied. I shall go abroad."
Iver looked at the Major; the Major returned his glance; they were both resolute men.
