He had been able to think of no plan of escape that seemed likely to succeed. But after careful thought he was convinced Colonel Glotz had been merely showing off. Stan felt certain Glotz would have to wait for orders from his superiors before he did anything. Those orders, however, could come through very quickly.
A good summary interpretation is found in M. Glotz, "Le Mouvement 'Swadeshi' dans l'Inde," Revue du Mois, July, 1913. Sir T. Morison, The Economic Transition in India, pp. 240-241. Also see Sir Valentine Chirol, Indian Unrest, pp. 255-279; William Archer, India and the Future, pp. 131-157. Good examples are found in the writings of Mukerjee and Lajpat Rai, already quoted.
"I, Colonel Glotz, had no small part in this and will earn an advancement. Heil Hitler!" He snapped the words out sharply. "And you intend to shoot me?" Stan said. "Perhaps, unless you can give us some information regarding this new fighter craft you were flying." Stan's eyes narrowed. He was sure Colonel Glotz's orders did not call for shooting him on the spot.
"Don't get your hopes too high, I'm no expert," Stan said. "When one is sure to be turned over to Colonel Glotz as a spy, one is apt to be quite successful as a mechanic, what?" Domber beamed. "If I don't make good on this I'm to be shot?" Stan looked Domber squarely in the eye. "I'm afraid so. It would be very painful to me, I can assure you. I do not like to see men shot.
He would have a little time to plan an escape. His chances would be desperately slim, he knew that, but he had faced death many times before and had always cheated the final pay-off. "Well?" Glotz asked. "I don't know what I could tell you," Stan said, pretending to be debating with himself. "We'll give you a few hours to think it over. I have some important messages to dictate."
Glotz rang a bell and two guards appeared. They stepped up beside Stan and nodded toward the door. Stan was marched out into the hall and down a few doors to a small room. He was shoved inside and the door was locked. There was a cot and a table in the room. A small light bulb dangled from a cord. Its feeble light was necessary because the room was an inside one without windows.
