"Yes."
"And you have heard nothing of the Trevisas?"
"I know they have been searching for me."
"But they have disclosed nothing concerning your father's marriage?"
"No; I believe not."
"You found out that I had been taken prisoner through Adam, I suppose?"
"Yes. He looks a quiet, inoffensive old man; but he is very shrewd and not easily deceived. I told him that you had effected my escape from Endellion, and he knew enough of the Killigrews to be sure that they would have many schemes afoot."
"But if they suspect that you are here?"
"They would have a difficulty in finding me. This house has many rooms not easily discovered. This room is not known to the Killigrews. It is underground. The doorway cannot be seen from the outside, and can only be opened by touching a spring."
