“I haven’t got them.”

“Where are they, Varin?”

“I don’t know. My brother had charge of them.”

“They are hidden in this room.”

“In that case, you know where they are.”

“How should I know?”

“Was it not you who found the hiding-place? You appear to be as well informed⁠ ⁠… as Salvator.”

“The letters are not in the hiding-place.”

“They are.”

“Open it.”
