“Louise was taken to a rough cabin where a short broad German spy woman lived. Everyone called her Le Grenouille, the frog. Louise and Charlotte feared and hated her.
“‘Take off your clothes’, that’s what the Frog said to Louise.
“Before obeying, Louise carefully blew out the candle in her lantern, then set it in the corner.
“All her clothes were taken off. Everything was searched,—dress, stockings, shoes,—everything. Nothing was found.
“‘All right. You may dress and be gone,’ said the Frog.
“When Louise had dressed she went on her way. That night our High Commander way across the line in France knew how many Germans had been wounded in that battle.”
