Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The youngest Thibaut daughter, Amélie, witnesses the French girl’s execution. She arrives home in tears and reports that Julie was standing next to the French girl during her execution. Amélie didn’t see whether Julie was executed. Maddie refuses to believe that Julie is dead until she sees it with her own eyes. Maddie and Paul practice bomb-making and target shooting on Sunday afternoon, November 28, while the Thibauts entertain Etienne’s Nazi colleagues.
Maddie is to approach Anna Engel with a message, because Georgia Penn believes that she is probably sympathetic to Julie’s cause, primarily because Julie referred to her as an “angel” in their interview. Captain von Linden appears to be under additional stress because a set of keys went missing for an hour, and no one knows where they were during that time. Moreover, von Linden is in trouble because he allowed Georgia Penn to interview Julie, even though his boss had already denied permission.
Handing Engel a “dropped” lipstick as she steps out to drive von Linden to a meeting, Maddie enters Julie’s world of intrigue and espionage. Anna Engel recognizes something about her and asks if she is Maddie Brodatt. Maddie fumbles for a response, but Engel takes the lipstick tube containing the Resistance contact instructions anyway.
