"Nina has them!" said Trendellsohn.
"Yes; Nina Balatka," said Madame Zamenoy. "We tell you, to the best of
our knowledge at least. At any rate, they are not here."
"It is impossible that Nina should have them," said Trendellsohn. "How
should she have got them?"
"That is nothing to us," said Madame Zamenoy. "The whole thing is
nothing to us. You have heard all that we can tell you, and you had
better go."
"You have heard more than I would have told you myself," said Ziska,
"had I been left to my opinion."
Trendellsohn stood pausing for a moment, and then he turned to the
elder Zamenoy. "What do you say, sir? Is it true that these papers are
at the house in the Kleinseite?"
"I say nothing," said Karil Zamenoy. "It seems to me that too much has
been said already."
"A great deal too much," said the lady. "I do not know why I should
have allowed myself to be surprised into giving you any information at
all. You wish to do us the heaviest injury that one man can do another,
and I do not know why we should speak to you at all.
