M4a - 56 * She answers: "Please, do you have any knowledge of my father?" I answer that I have none. Then she says that in similar cases it is completely excluded, My only ID card here is my passport, which I give her. The lady looks at him carefully and then says, "So you are actually coming from America?"I answered: "Yes) I was sent from the American eye shot to the professor at his service and he also gave me the task of sending a message to his wife and family."The lady invites me in his excitement to take a seat and asks me to deny her that she must inform the mother of this and goes away with her passport. In a while she comes back without my passport and starts to question her father and sister.After a long while, the Zimner enters a woman about six years old, completely white-haired, only wrapped in a sleeping skirt, from which I concluded that she was just coming out of the bedroom. In one hand she rescued my passport, in the other a container with eye glasses. She stood in front of me and measured me suspiciously, but with the best eyes. That was Mrs. Masaryk. The lady placed a chair closer to me, on which the mother lay down. She still held my passport, in which she constantly took an insight and asked me questions, which went mainly to the point that she overzeved herself, whether she could trust me. Slowly one noticed that her mistrust left until she finally asked me to tell them everything I knew about the professor, the daughter and her household in London. Bent forward in the upholstered chair, the container with the glitters in front of her eyes, she listened eagerly to each of my words and what she was particularly interested in in my speech, she asked me to repeat it to her so that she might know exactly how I counted it." And Steiger continues, after which he closes this chapter as follows: "When I left the apartment of Mrs. Masaryk, I felt very happy because it was for me to convey the message, which, as I have seen, had a favorable influence on two of the girls. And if nothing else had succeeded of my show, only that, I would be completely satisfied and compensated for what I have done in the meantime." Steiger described his visit to Dr. Scheiner earlier: "I asked for an interview with Dr. Schiener. In a while I was left in front of him. I spoke very excitedly with a muted voice:You are Dr. Scheiner, the Sokolführer? He replied surprisedly: Yes. I ask for a brief, very confidential interview. - 57
