Capítulo 9, Página 13
"It
was
dark
inside.
The
colonel
looked
for
matches.
A
door
opened,
and
light
came
out.
A
woman
with
a
lamp
appeared.
She
was
pretty
and
wore
a
nice
dress.
She
spoke
in
a
foreign
language.
The
colonel
answered,
and
she
almost
dropped
the
lamp.
He
whispered
to
her,
then
came
back
to
me
with
the
lamp."
“Please
wait
in
this
room,”
he
said,
opening
a
door.
It
was
a
small
room
with
a
table
and
German
books.
Colonel
Stark
put
the
lamp
down.
“I
will
be
back
soon,”
he
said,
and
left.
"I
looked
at
the
books.
I
did
not
understand
German.
Some
books
were
about
science,
others
were
poetry.
I
went
to
the
window,
but
it
had
a
heavy
shutter.
The
house
was
very
quiet.
Only
a
clock
ticked.
I
felt
uneasy.
Who
were
these
people?
Where
was
I?
I
was
ten
miles
from
Eyford,
but
I
did
not
know
the
direction.
Maybe
I
was
near
a
big
town.
I
walked
around
the
room,
humming
to
stay
calm.
I
was
earning
my
fee."
"The
room
was
very
quiet.
Suddenly,
the
door
opened
slowly.
A
woman
stood
there.
The
hall
was
dark
behind
her.
The
lamp
in
my
room
showed
her
face.
She
looked
scared.
I
felt
cold
in
my
heart.
She
put
a
finger
to
her
lips.
She
whispered
to
me.
Her
eyes
looked
back
into
the
dark
hall."
"I
would
go,"
she
said.
She
tried
to
stay
calm.
"I
would
go.
Do
not
stay
here.
It
is
not
good
for
you."
"But,
madam,"
I
said,
"I
have
not
finished
my
work.
I
need
to
see
the
machine."
"It
is
not
worth
it,"
she
said.
"You
can
leave
now;
no
one
stops
you."
I
smiled
and
shook
my
head.
She
stepped
closer.
"Please,
go
now!"
she
whispered.
"Go
before
it
is
too
late!"
"I
am
stubborn.
I
like
challenges.
I
thought
about
my
money
and
my
long
trip.
Was
it
all
for
nothing?
Why
should
I
leave
without
my
pay?
Maybe
she
was
just
crazy.
I
shook
my
head.
I
said
I
would
stay.
She
wanted
to
speak
again.
Then,
a
door
slammed
upstairs.
I
heard
footsteps.
She
listened,
raised
her
hands,
and
left
quickly."
