The orderly called her at half-past six and she took her ""clients"" to a barracks in the suburbs of Verdun, where Russian prisoners ""liberated"" from Germany crowded and jostled to see her from behind the bars of the barrack square, like wild animals in a cage. Armed sentries paced backwards and forwards across the gateway to the yard. As it came on to snow a French soldier came out of a guardroom and invited her in by the fire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
