He had sent one, as he was obliged to do, in her name, and hence the confusion in the answer.
Mrs.Morley had replied to the Neville Street address, and Zara wondered if she knew London very well and would see how impossible such a locality would be for the Lady Tancred! But Mirko was better--decidedly better--the attack had again been very short.

So she felt reassured for the moment, and was preparing to go when she remembered that one of the things she had come for was to give Mimo some money in notes which she had prepared for him; but, knowing the poor gentleman's character, she was going to do it delicately by buying the "Apache!" For she was quite aware that just money, for him to live, now that it was not a question of the welfare of Mirko, he would never accept from her.

In such unpractical, sentimental ways does breeding show itself in some weak natures! Mimo was almost suspicious of the transaction, and she was obliged to soothe and flatter him by saying that he must surely always have understood how intensely she had admired that work; and now she was rich it would be an everlasting pleasure to her to own it for her very own.
So poor Mimo _was_ comforted, and they parted after a while, all arrangements having been made that the telegrams--should any more come--were to go first, addressed to her at Neville Street, so that the poor father should see them and then send them on.
And as it was now past eleven o'clock Zara returned quickly back to Park Lane and was coming in at the door just as her husband was descending the stairs.
"You are up very early, Milady," he said casually, and because of the servants in the hall she felt it would look better to follow him into the library.
Tristram was surprised at this and he longed to ask her where she had been, but she did not tell him; she just said, "What time do we arrive at your uncle's?
Is it five or six ?" "It only takes three hours.

We shall be in about five.

And, Zara, I want you to wear the sable coat.
