‘Yes. I must know how much he knows—though I am sure he knows all.’
‘Will you tell him if he does not know?’
‘Shall I?’
‘He is your brother. He will see it as I do. It is best that he should know.’
‘Come then, dear,’ said Greif rising from his seat.
‘Shall I go with you?’
‘I will bring him out of his room, if he is there, and you can wait a moment in the passage. If not, we will go on together and find him.’
‘It is twelve o’clock!’ exclaimed Hilda, glancing up at the great dial in the tower as she rose.
‘It has not struck yet,’ answered Greif carelessly.
