Quietly as Prescott spoke there was that in his tone, as in his eye, which assured them that their lives would not outlast their obedience.
"You will pass up before me," Dick continued, "and neither will attempt any treachery.

I assure you, gentlemen, that I shall be glad of the slightest excuse for killing you!" It was the German colonel who came first, for he was the nearer one.

There was no visible sign of his being armed, but the younger man in the sky-blue uniform carried an automatic in a holster at his belt.

Dick deftly took the pistol from the holster and was now doubly armed.
"Not the lightest outcry, nor the least attempt at treachery!" Dick warned them sternly.
