At the same time, while Jean was returning very happy to the country house, proud to be able to tell Norbert about Belle's deeds, the latter was carefully digging up the transmitter he had brought back from Castellane. Doors closed and locked, the shutter of the skylight carefully folded down, Norbert did not feel at ease. It would have been better not to take the set out until the middle of the night. However, impatience had prevailed over caution: he wanted to know if everything was in place on the other side of the border or rather… if the Grand Baou dry stone refuge and its secret were “working” well.

Norbert had taken the set out of its wooden crate. He sat down on the bed pushed back to the middle of the room, showing the gaping hole in the floor. He took out the antenna, put the headphones on his ears. His hands worked on the radio buttons. Almost in a low voice, he called:

"Hello, 640... Hello, 640... Hello, 640..."

He heard a crackle in the headphones, then a voice answered:

"Here, 640."

A smile lifted Norbert's lips, his eyes shone. He said :

"Hello, 640? Here, 149. Can you hear me?”

“Very well.”

"Hello, 640," Norbert continued, "have you seen the swallow?"

"We saw her. The south wind pushed her, she flew alone, she landed in the nest, still alone, she left with the west wind. 149, do you understand me?”

Almost speechless, Norbert replied:

"Message received. Ended.”

He turned a button, took the headphones off of his ears... He was amazed! And, to be sure he was not mistaken, he mentally translated the message into plain language: "We saw the dog, she climbed the Grand Baou, she was alone, she entered the shelter, still alone , and it descended via the Petit Défilé.”

No doubt, the goal was achieved, the training successful, and the news sensational. Norbert lowered the antenna, put away the earphones and the wires of the set, put everything back in the wooden box, covered it with earth, and pushed back the bed. Only then did he relax, and a great laugh broke out in the storeroom... Really, that dog was something extraordinary! Now all he had to do was wait for that poor little idiot Jean to get all the details. And Norbert thought with a certain vanity that his ideas were turning out to be good, that Odon and Mareil would be satisfied, and that the affair, in general, was looking good.
