тАЬBonsoir, monsieurs,тАЭ
she said. тАЬQue voulez-vous?тАЭ
тАЬDo you speak English?тАЭ Doc asked, although he could speak a considerably better brand of French
than the crone had used.

тАЬA leettle,тАЭ she replied.

тАЬWe wish to see Harve MacChesney,тАЭ Doc said. тАЬIs he here?тАЭ

She did not reply with words, but nodded and stepped back and held the door open. Doc entered and
Monk followed.

The crone closed the door. тАЬYou are Monsieur Savage. I have seen a picture of you.тАЭ She turned to
Monk. тАЬAnd this gentleman isтАФтАЭ

тАЬMonk Mayfair, my associate,тАЭ Doc told her.

The old lady then took a gun out of her clothing and pointed it at them.
тАЬI guess,тАЭ she said, тАЬwe've hit the jackpot.тАЭ

Out of different places, from under a sofa, a trapdoor in the ceiling, a chest, a curtained cupboard in a
corner, crawled, dropped and climbed men wearing German army uniforms and carrying German military
pistols.

One of the soldiers, a colonel from his uniform, took charge.

тАЬJackpot,тАЭ he said in good English, тАЬis the word for it. It's too bad Mr. MacChesney isn't here to greet
you. As soon as we found out that he planned to escape and have a rendezvous at this farmhouse with
you, we had to take stern measures. He is back at the Chateau Medille, only a few miles from here. We
know how to take care of men like him.тАЭ



Chapter II. INTEREST IN A WITCH
SOLDIERS kept appearing until the place swarmed with them. Every soldier had a gun which he kept
ready for action, and none of them took their eyes off Monk and Doc more than was necessary.

Several armored cars arrived, and Doc and Monk were placed in one of these. They were rushed
several miles to a stone building which probably was large, although the night was too dark for them to
tell what kind of a structure it was. Armed soldiers lined the halls along which they were conducted to a
cell that looked strong enough to hold an earthquake.

Doc and Monk were placed in the same cell.

The German officer who wore the uniform markings of a colonel addressed them.

тАЬYou will be questioned in the morning, Herr Savage,тАЭ he said. тАЬOfficials are coming from Berlin to do
that.тАЭ
