CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO I | In a few sentences David tld I the story of the last f*< ;t>.r hours. The flight over Brest, his capture, and subsequent escape. “That is well —so far," Anne commented when he had finished “And now, i want you and Yves to help me. I have no money, but—" “We do not want your money, Mons.eur David. We would even help a stranger if he were fighting against these devils who have robbe 1 us of our freedom and are now robbing us of our wealth. There is nothing 1 would not do to hurt them and their vile cause. I Ante them.” She fairly yelled the word “hate" and spat on the flour for emphasis. “What can we do? The obi one has gone to the market with the boys. They will be back for breakast. Now tell me." “First give me a cup of coffee.” She shrugged her shoulders. “Monsieur David is an optimist. We have had no coffee in months. Hot milk, it you like. It is very warming if you pour in a glass of Calvados." “Thank you- Here Is what I want. Anne. First we must have four suits of the oldest fishing clothes you can find." “C«t /aei/e.” “Good 1 Then I want Yves to take us in his tunny ship to a point as near to the English coast as possible. We will tow a smaller boat I and row the rest of the distance. A Breton tunny ship sailing in British waters might attract attention, and I do not want him separated from you." The old woman thought this over carefully before answering. “Celt pat facilt. But wait until my husband returns. He will know more about that than I. Meanwhile, 111 get you out of that Nazi uniform that I hate so much. The old one . would probably break his stick over your head if he came in and found I you like that." She hurried off and was soon back bearing a faded and patched pink blouse and trousers to match. Also a pair of wooden snoes. “You will have to go bareheaded,” she said. “I find no caps." Hutch changed while she went to find more clothes for his friends. In the fishing outfit he felt better and went over to look at his image in a broken piece of mirror nailed to the wall. What he saw amused him. and phased him. This was how he had dressed when fishing with Yves. The dirty face, light growth of beard, and tousled hair gave him the appearance of being real. No German would ever take him for an officer in the R.A.F. Os that he was certain. While he was gazing at himself, the father, followed by his strapping sixteen and seventeen-year-old sons, entered. “Monsieur Hutchinson!" The simple fisherman seemed evereome with joy as he rushed forward to shako hands. “But what good *' nd bnngs you here? It is splendid. It is magnificent Mamma.” he •h’ufed. “Bring us the bottle of Calvados We must drink to the good health at Monsieur." He saw th* botUe on the table, fetched two ,nd them “Monsieur K pe J ou * i!l Joln mc in drinking to the day when France r ll On Ji? ** ,!e *' Viv * I* "They drained their glasses.

They are rubbing us systematically, Moiis.tur Hutchinson. They are bandits.” Hutch pursued the subject of escape. He knew that his friends wire waiting anxiously for his return. and risked recapture until he brought them a change of clothing. “How do you propose to get us aboard, and when do you intend to sail?" “To answer the last question first,” the old man began. “W* intended to nail tomorrow night However, everything is aboard except the ice, and that can be run into the hold in an hour; so 1 guess we had better get you off. Wei! sail this afternoon, just me and the boys. For the other question, you know the little beach. Lea Sables Blanc, about a kilometre past the point?" “Yes.” "Well troll hack and forth out beyond that until dark. Then one of the boys will eome for you in the small boat He’ll give three gull calls. Understand?” “Excellent, Yvee." “Then, when we’re not too far from England you'll have to cut away and row for it. With any wind we should not take more than five or six days. Rations may be slim, but there’ll be Calvados." He laughed h. .truly and took a burning swallow. “That means you’ll loss your dingey." “1 guese so. Well, you can pay me after the war.” Just then Anne came into the room carrying a bundle carefully tied up in an old table cover. “Here you are, Monsieur Hutchinson, three more outfits. Not very chic, but I hope they will serve the purpose." He thanked her, said good-bye, and hurried off to tell his friends the news. Hutch found tha two Frenchmen and Rusty waiting in the woods where he had left them. They had not begun to worry about him, as his return was quicker than they had anticipated. “Everything’s urfrerdl” he yelled even before he reached them. The Frenchmen raised their eyebrows in interrogation, and Rusty explained that this was R.A.F. slang meaning that everything was O.K. “And O.K. is American slang meaning that everythingis wixard," Pierre said. “AU very clear." As he passed out the salts of fishermen’s clothes Hutch went over the situation. „ o Wh< j n bad finished Pierre said, "Sounds 0.K." “ Wizard 1” Henri proclaimed, proud of a new English word to add 10 mt* r, !ber limited vocabulary. They had laughed a great deal wh *" ‘b*? »«w Hutch arrive in his patched, faded pink dungarees, but when they got into their own they laughed even more. Rusty’s outfit waan t so bad, but Henri bulged out 2* "** •”! ««"riy split the seams. Pierre looked like the youngest son on whom the old family overalls had been hung without thought for Uns. The trousers hit him above the ankles, and the blouse drooped diamally from his shoulders.
