"Coming, father," she replied.
She came running out of the room, and as she reached the door she called to Andor.
"Andor, you have not said good-night," she said significantly.
"Never mind about that now," said Ignácz Goldstein fretfully, "I shall miss my train."
He kissed his daughter perfunctorily, then said:
"There's no one in the tap-room now, is there? I didn't notice."
"No," she replied, "no one just now."
"Then I'd keep the door shut, if I were you. I'd rather those fellows back from Arad didn't come in to-night. The open door would attract them—a closed one might have the effect of speeding them on their way."
"Very well, father," she said indifferently, "I'll keep the door closed."
"And mind you push all the bolts home to both the doors," he added sternly. "A girl alone in a house cannot be too careful."
