"We have been in an airplane accident, and we want to get to a telephone—" began Louise.
But the man only shook his head and grinned.
"Nicht versteh'," he replied, helplessly.
"He's a foreigner," said Louise, turning back to where Linda was standing. "A German, who doesn't understand English."
"I can speak German," said Linda. "At least, I had some, Freshman year. Let me try him!"
But already he was driving away.
"Wo ghen Sie?" called Linda. "Warte!"
He stopped driving, evidently amazed at her words, and pointed to the road ahead of him.
Encouraged by this display of intelligence, Louise jumped up on the cart, and waved her arms in the direction of the airplane, in the field half a mile away.
