When it was time for Frans to leave, Count Grisenstein walked with him to Gregorius’s Small Banqueting Hall. Most of the candles had gone out.

“I’ll just call my coachman,” said the count. “Wait here a moment.”

Frans was alone in the semi-darkness now, but after a few moments he began to sense that he wasn’t on his own at all… He peered around. He couldn’t see anyone on the stairs, and yet the steps were creaking, and there, right at the top, in an alcove, something seemed to be moving. Ivan? Who was he, this unknown spy? One of the servants Frans hadn’t met yet? It wasn’t the coachman, and it couldn’t be the housekeeper either…

He heard the count’s voice, somewhere else in the house: “Jan! Jan Tooreloor…”

Then there was another creak, somewhere nearby, above his head. He turned around, and this time he definitely saw something! A small figure ducked below the balustrade of the lowest gallery. The figure was not dark, but white… So it wasn’t Ivan, but it could be a child, a boy in pyjamas.
