Jasper appeared to hesitate for a moment or two, and then he said: "I don't think that she has been allowed to do either."
"Why not?"
"It is mere surmise, my dear," Jasper went on quietly, "but one thing Naniescu did tell me, and that was that he had on behalf of his government definitely made over the Kis-Imre estates to Peter Blakeney."
They were walking round the house towards the veranda when he said this. Rosemary made no response; indeed, it might be thought that she had not heard, for the next question which she put to Jasper appeared irrelevant.
"Does the midnight express stop at Sót?"
"It does," Jasper replied.
"Then I can see Elza there. I am sure that is where she is. You inquired at Ujlak?"
"Yes, Elza went there first and then to Cluj."
They had reached the veranda now, and Rosemary went up the steps and then into the house.
"You still wish to come with me to-night?" she asked her husband before she went upstairs.
