“As I said, from some hidden tomb, the secret of which is known only to himself.”
“Do you think he has carried all of the treasure away?”
“I have reason to believe that more remains than has ever been taken. Once, in an unguarded moment, Kāra told me that he could not spend it all in a thousand years.”
“Do you suppose we can discover this tomb?”
“Yes, if we are clever. It is no use to hunt without a clew, but Kāra will furnish us the clew we need.”
“In what way?” the viscount inquired.
“He is coming here presently.”
Consinor frowned.
“I do not care to meet him,” he said, hastily.
“Nor do I,” rejoined Tadros, with a shudder; “but it will not be necessary for us to meet Kāra, who will not suspect we are in the village.”
