By scrambling down the rugged hillside one could reach this house without entering the hamlet at all. "If I dared, I'd make the break," said Tom. "Suppose they should be Gerrmans living therre?" Archer suggested. "I wouldn't risk it. Can't you see therre's a German flag on a flagpole?" "That's just it," said Tom. "If I knew they were French people I could show them Frenchy's button.
It seemed to be stealthily creeping up out of that battle-scourged plain in France for a glimpse of Alsace. It was from beyond those mountains that had come the portentous rumblings which they had heard. "The blue Alsatian mountains," murmured Tom. "I wish we were across them." "We'll have to go down and around if we everr get therre," Archer said.
"That's where he lives." "My dad's got a big apple orrcharrd therre," added Archer. Florette Leteur had not heard of the Catskills, but she had heard a good deal about the Americans lately and she looked from one to the other of this hapless pair, who seemed almost to have dropped from the clouds. "You have been not wise to escape," she said sympathetically.
"You're always thinking about apples and souvenirs," said Tom. "You can bet I'm going to get a souveneerr in herre, all right!" Archer announced. "Therre ought to be lots of good ones herre, hey?" "Maybe they grow in furious what-d'you-call-'ems?" suggested sober Tom. "If it keeps as level as this, we ought to be able to waltz into the barrbed wirre by tomorrow night.
"G-o-od night!" said Archer. "Reminds you of America, don't it not 'arf, as the Tommies say. Wouldn't it seem funny not daring to speak to an officerr therre? Many's the chat I've had with French generals and English ones, too. Didn't I give old Marshal What's-his-name an elastic band to put around his paperrs?"
They've got magic uniforms." "I don't see any reason for it," said sober Tom, still looking about, unable to conquer his amazement. "That's just it," said Archer. "They do things therre ain't any reason forr just to practice theirr efficiency. Pretty soon you'll see all the allied soldierrs'll be losing their coats. Go-o-o-o-d night!"
"Pretty soon one of us will be all in and then it'll be harder for the other. We've got to get out, no matter what." "Therre may be a Gerrman soldierr within ten feet of us now," Archer said. "They'rre probably around in this vineyarrd somewherre, anyway. If we tried to forrce it open they'd hearr us." "We couldn't force it, anyway," Tom said.
