"That is further away than it looks," answered Jost; "that's all of a mile away. He's hidden somewhere in a field."
Mrs. Bracher seized Victor by the arm, and faced the Commandant.
"I know where he's hidden," she cried. "Let me show you."
The Commandant nodded assent.
"Messieurs, les Belges," she commanded in a sharp, high voice, "come with me and move quickly!"
She brought them back to the car.
"Send for four of your men," she said to Jost. They came.
"Wait in the house," she said to Hilda.
"Now we start," Mrs. Bracher ordered. "Victor, you take the wheel. Drive down the Furnes road."
