I tell you I have made war something so horrible
that they will sleep restless from now on. I have planted dread
and sorrow on many a heart. I have some plans I found on the
Colonel's table when I was fixing his electric light. I
memorized them and later wrote them down. Here they are."
"It is too bad you did not memorized the letter of instructions
you lost," said Ledermann. "At home you would be shot for that,
you know."
"Of course," agreed Adolph. "However, I think the paper is
safely lost, at all events. It has come to me where I lost it.
It was the day I got the formula from that silly young inventor.
It was very hot; and I found a wonderful secluded place, and went
swimming. Ah, Ledermann, how I love the water! I must have lost
that paper out of my pocket. I know I did. I went back but
there was no paper there, but I found my pocket knife close to
the water's edge, so the paper and ticket must have fallen in the
water. What was it anyhow to the finder but a plain, clean piece
of paper? No harm, no harm, Ledermann!"
"Here is something the Wolf told me to give you," said Ledermann.
"You are to use it whenever you can. Watch the bakery."
Adolph took something in his hand.
