“Monsieur forgets I am a stranger here. I only know that his house is of stone, and is one of a row.”

“When your uncle visited you, did he make threats against Stolburst?”
“He was very angry that the gentleman should have assisted me to leave my country.”
“That is not a direct answer to my question,” said Burt.
“I don’t remember whether he made any threats. I should not be surprised if he did. Uncle is quite given to making threats.”
