Ida’s heart thumped like a runaway racehorse as the Austrian inspector interrogated Louise.
“Why so much jewelry for such a brief visit to the opera?”
Louise batted her eyelashes. “Why not? If we leave it at home, our family in London will rob us blind.”
Ida twittered and giggled. “It’s a good job we have it all with us, isn’t it sister dear?”
“You may go, Frauleins.” Shaking his head, the inspector returned Ida’s passport. “Verrükte schwestern.”
As they boarded the ocean liner, Louise whispered, “These diamonds and pearls should help finance our dear Jewish friends escape this Nazi madness.”
*verrükte schwestern – crazy sisters
