Sorry to make you go back three books :-) I'm really excited to be able to ask you about the books directly, normally the fans have to be content with just discussing among themselves :-)
I had meant the estate on the cliffs, the one that they raided and found empty. I figured that Varis would have Westen watch the estate to ensure a successful raid, pretty much without any delay as soon as her ship returned. It should not have been possible for the steward Alphonse to overhear them talking about the raid, send word indirectly to Demasque, and for Demasque to send an order to move the Chorl to Lady Parmati's estate, before Westen's watch had been set up. However, as you said, the Chorl could have moved immediately after arriving at the estate, before Varis even got back herself. This especially makes sense if Alphonse had already warned Demasque that the Squall had been followed - he would have had time to make preparations to move the Chorl right away.
I found the fan page on facebook, thanks! And I'm very much looking forward to those other three books :-)
