"I'm sorry, Miss Bab, because you are all right and have helped me a
lot, especially with that on the bed. If it hadn't been for you our
Goose would have been cooked."

He then picked me up and put me in a chair, and looked at his watch.

"Now," he said, "we'll have that Password, because time is going and
there are things to be done, quite a few of them."

I could see William then, and I saw his eyes were partly shut, and
that he had been shot, because of blood, etcetera. I was about to faint
again, as the sight of blood makes me sick at the stomache, but Henry
held a bottle of amonia under my nose and said in a brutal way:

"Here, none of that."

I then said that I would not tell the Password, although killed for it,
and he said if I kept up that attitude I would be, because they were
desperate and would stop at nothing.

"There is no use being stubborn," he said, "because we are going to get

As I was now desperate myself I decided to shriek, happen what may. But

very well, owing to skating and so on.

How awfull were my sensations as I thus sat facing Death, and
remembering that I had often been excused from Chapel when not necesary,
and had been confirmed while pretending to know the Creed while not
doing so. Also not always going to Sunday School as I should, and being
inclined to skip my Prayers when very tired.

We sat there for a long time, which seemed Eternities, Henry making
dreadful threats, and holding a revolver. But I would not tell the
Password, and at last he went out, locking the door behind him, to
consult with the other Spies.

I then heard a whisper, and saw that William was not dead. He said:

"Here, quick. I'll unloose your hands and you can drop out the window."

He did so, but just in time, as Henry returned, looking fierce and
saying that I had b
