"An accomplice of Herr Hochwald."
"Were you attacked in the automobile on the way to Starnberg?"
"Oh no. There was no attack."
"And you reached the villa of Count Monteori quite safely?"
"Oh yes--safely."
"And you were kept a prisoner there by Herr Hochwald, until you were rescued this evening?"
"That is true."
Herr Hochwald's face was now quite unpleasant to see. He was very pale and the dark bruises upon his cheek had become unpleasantly prominent. His hair had been ruffled and his cravat disarranged and altogether he presented a very wild appearance.
Senf glanced at him scornfully and then to Tanya:
"That will be all for the present, Fräulein Korasov. If you will sit yonder----" indicating a chair nearby. Then he raised his voice again so that all might hear and summoned Zoya Rochal.
