Chapter XVIII
AFTER THE ABDUCTION "This is my revenge, Herr Fischer." The words were spoken in an angry, taunting voice, quite loud enough for many people round us to hear, and they looked at us in the broadest astonishment. They recalled my scattered wits. "Captain von Krugen, what is the meaning of this?" I demanded in a quick, stern tone of the man who was staring in abject helpless bewilderment at the woman who had thus tricked us so cleverly.
