“None that we know of,” replied Evelyn.
“Nobody you could go to for information about the past?” asked Spargo.
“No—nobody!”
Spargo drummed his fingers on his blotting-pad. He was thinking hard.
“How old is your father?” he asked suddenly.
“He was fifty-nine a few weeks ago,” answered Evelyn.
“And how old are you, and how old is your sister?” demanded Spargo.
“I am twenty, and Jessie is nearly nineteen.”
“Where were you born?”
“Both of us at San Gregorio, which is in the San José province of Argentina, north of Monte Video.”
