"I suppose we have got to take her along, no matter what he is," Warren whispered back.
"However," said the Professor, glancing reprovingly at the children, "there is plenty of money, in reason, and if Ivan prefers, we will keep an account of his educational expenses, and at some future date he can repay what I shall deem necessary to expend for him."
"That is better," said the Princess. She turned to Ivan.
"You will go, Ivan."
"Yes," said Ivan. Then sadly, "But I wish I could see my father."
"It is indeed hard," said the Princess. "We feel that he must be unhurt however, and I know that he will be so relieved, and glad to know that you are in a place of safety. So that is settled." She smiled.
"Now there is one more thing to be done. I have here a permit from the General in charge of the city. It gives us safe conduct on the roads to Warsaw and return, to get the baby. I have arranged for one of the nurses to go with the new chauffeur and Warren. I will take part of her duties, and Evelyn may assist me. She will get the baby and bring it here to us. They can go tonight, and return tomorrow. All will then be ready for your departure, if in the meantime Professor Morris can arrange to get your passports and your sailing privileges."
"It sounds easy," said Warren to Evelyn. "When do you suppose we will start?"
"As soon as the car is ready," said the Princess. "Get wraps for yourself, Warren. The nurse is ready, and she has everything needful for the baby."
"Oh, Warren, be careful, begged Evelyn. I declare I have half a mind to go with you!"
