The Last Two Weeks Of Georges Rivac - Plot & Excerpts
In those first days at Brussels and Valenciennes she had been only an observer, taking on responsibility beyond her orders, but still an observer. Now defence had changed into attack for the sake of Georges, her uncle and his unrevealable club. The impulsive drowning of Rippmann, a terrified reaction of which she had been ashamed, could pass conscience as a justifiable act of war. As for Fyster-Holmes, there was nothing else Georges could have done—Georges with his lance and the dragon. The dragon might not have deserved it as richly as Appinger but one way or another had it coming to him. Lucky the traitor didn’t live in more decisive times when he could be cut down while still alive and his private parts burnt before his eyes! Dear Georges, what unhesitating loyalty! If he had told the truth about the death of Rippmann they might have believed him as innocent as he was. Dear Georges, so wise in the country ways he had learned as a boy, and now so modest and unpredictable in action though his instinct usually turned out to be right!
