And, in the second place, I took the trouble to inquire, when I first reached Liège, whether your mother was in Brussels. Your ambassador, Mr. Brand Whitlock, informed me that she had left the country." "What? Gone and left us behind?" "Yes; but not because she wanted to. It was either a case of leave Brussels then, or run a chance of being held there indefinitely." "Then what are we going to do?
Moreover they had deceived Mr. Whitlock and the other members of the American Legation, and had done so deliberately. After the execution they refused to return the body. But the name of Edith Cavell has become one of the world's great names and her fame grows brighter as time passes.
We called on Minister Brand Whitlock, whom we had not seen McCutcheon and I since the Sunday afternoon a month and a half before when we two left his official residence in a hired livery rig for a ride to Waterloo, which ride extended over a thousand miles, one way and another, and carried us into three of the warring countries.
"Briggs is frantic since he lost his son, and Truelove thinks he has the fever, though Worth says it is all nonsense. There's nobody but Whitlock. Dear old Jenny!
