- OUT OF NO MAN'S LAND
- The officer looked up sharply. "Which--?"
- The officer looked startled. "The Boche?"
- II
- FROM A BRITISH PORT
- The Swiss shuddered. "It is most terrible!"
- III
- IN THE BARRED ZONE
- Unconsciously, in French, he commented: "So that is finished!"
- The woman stared. "You think that--?"
- Now she glanced quickly at his eyes. "Why do you say that?"
- IV
- IN DEEP WATERS
- ON THE BANKS
- She requested without looking round: "Water, please--and a towel."
- She resumed with perceptible effort: "I can trust you--"
- She heard him in a stare. "You place no value on life?"
- VI
- UNDER SUSPICION
- Lanyard shrugged. "It did not occur to me to refuse her request, monsieur."
- VII
- IN STATEROOM 29
- VIII
- OFF NANTUCKET
- The first rejoined him. "Impossible!"
- IX
- SUB SEA
- The subaltern coloured. "He asked for water--I got it for him."
- The commander stared churlishly, then addressed Lanyard: "How are you now?"
- Lanyard nodded slightly, adding a feeble "Please."
- AT BASE
- Lanyard stepped forward alertly. "Yes, Herr Captain?"
- XI
- UNDER THE ROSE
- Lanyard nodded. "I am ready."
- XII
- RESURRECTION
- No list boasted the name "Karl."
- XIII
- REINCARNATION
- Lanyard was surprised at the eagerness with which he cried: "Hello!"
- He said wearily: "I am waiting to speak with Miss Cecelia Brooke."
- XIV
- DEFAMATION
- A note of mild derision crept into the accents of "Karl."
- XV
- RECOGNITION
- Mildly injured surprise was indicated in the reply: "Surely, sir!"
- The man was "Karl."
- XVI
- AU PRINTEMPS
- She murmured with infinite expression: "Au Printemps!"
- XVII
- FINESSE
- Lanyard shrugged and laughed quietly. "What else?"
- Her eyes lifted to his in childlike candour. "Need you ask?"
- She demanded sharply: "Whom?"
- Impish glee danced in the woman's eyes. "Your handiwork, dear friend?"
- The English girl shook her head, smiling. "Not yet."
- A signal possibly indicating that Ekstrom had arrived
- XVIII
- DANSE MACABRE
- She said simply: "I will do my best."
- Yet distress was too eloquent in the broken query: "What _am_ I to do?"
- XIX
- FORCE MAJEURE
- As quietly as a shadow a second man joined him, greeting him with a "Hush!"
- Karl grunted disdainfully. "I told you this would be a waste of time...."
- XX
- RIPOSTE
- The servant bleated one word of protest: "But--!"
- XXI
- QUESTION
- He commented honestly: "I don't understand."
- Lanyard bowed gravely. "Thank you," he said. "And Colonel Stanistreet--?"
- XXII
- CHICANE
- The rattle became articulate: "I've lost it! It's gone!"
- XXIII
- AMNESTY
- THE END
