“You have company,” Elise said to John when she and Ernst reached the attic.

John sat up in his bed, taking in both Elise and Ernst. Ernst spoke first. “Ernst Klein. Rogue Jew. Pleased to meet you.”

“John Sterling, injured British pilot. Pleased to meet you, too,” he said in broken German.

“Well then,” Elise said. “Ernst, you take the roll-up mattress on the floor there. I’ll get you some clean sheets and blankets. I’ll also bring up a washbasin and then some dinner.”

“You’re taking too great a risk, Elise,” Ernst warned.

“Mother’s rarely home, and doesn’t pay much attention to me when she is. Neither do the servants. There’s always a lot of food around—most of it goes to waste anyway. You two just rest. I’ll set everything up, and then we can make plans tonight.”

Ernst’s eyes filled with tears. “I can never thank you enough …”

“Yes,” John said, “how can we ever repay you?”

“Let’s just focus on getting you both out,” Elise whispered firmly. “And Ernst, would you please take a look at John’s incision? It seems to be healing well, but you’re the surgeon, after all. And for heaven’s sake—be quiet.”
