“You are right, César, of course. It would be a great mistake and very damaging to Lady Yursa if people talked or the newspapers got hold of the story.”
“That is what I was thinking,” the Duc agreed. “And of one thing we can all be certain, the servants will keep silent. They are far too frightened of offending the witches!”
“But it was a maid who told you that Lady Yursa had been taken away,” Henri remarked.
“She will not talk,” the Duc said. “Because she was brave enough to save Lady Yursa, she will be too frightened of any repercussions if it was known that it was she who told me where they had taken her.”
“I am sure you are right,” the Vicomte replied.
The Duc finished his glass of champagne and then went back to Yursa’s bedroom.
