He told her he had brought Charlie Thesiger from Antwerp yesterday , and that her cousin was dying in the Couvent de Saint Pierre , and that perhaps it would be a bit easier for him if she were with him . We took her to the convent that morning . On the way there she asked Jimmy why he had n't told her about Charlie yesterday . He said that up till midnight we were n't absolutely certain that Charlie would n't recover , and that she was safer with us in the hotel than she would be away from us in the convent . `` My safety is to be considered before everything ?
