Aware of the difficulties which might lie in the way of his leaving the city , Yeva proposed that Renwick should leave the Carsija in the cart of a cousin of Zubeydeh 's , a farmer who lived on the Romanja Plain ; and Renwick , quick to see the advantages of the plan , readily agreed , for it was toward the Visegrader Gate , he had learned , that the automobile of Captain Goritz had departed . As he left the lower door with Zubeydeh , who was to accompany him as far as the Carsija , Renwick caught Yeva by the hand .
