“He’s Gypsy,” János observed, shaking his head. “He’s as like to steal from you as serve you.”

“Romani,” I said. “And he won’t.”

“A Gypsy!” Grandmama said, dropping her embroidery. “Anna, really, I couldn’t.”

“That’s unfair, János bácsi,” Mátyás said, speaking for the first time. He uncurled himself from the sofa and crossed the room to shake Gábor’s hand. “Hallo, Gábor.” He looked back at Grandmama. “I know him. He’s a good man. Honest too. I trust him.”

I beamed at Mátyás, who colored faintly. I turned to Grandmama. “His being Romani is precisely the point. He’s capable, but who would hire him? He only needs a chance, a good recommendation that might open other doors.”

Lady Berri said, “I’ve found that a good secretary is almost indispensable.”

I could have kissed her.

Grandmama sighed again, a luxurious release of air. She picked up her embroidery. “Very well, Anna. Only do not let me regret this.”

I crossed the room to kiss her cheek. “You won’t, Grandmama. I promise.”

Her voice was very dry when she answered me. “I already do.”
