FURTHER FOOLISHNESS
I could even imagine the rapid crackle behind me. I \va« really frightened. Then, without warning the car swung away from the main roads and 1 realised that it was going to st<>|>. My only reaction was that I felt rather sick. The car stopped, and I decided that it would be easier to fret out slowly, so that they couldn't miss. It would, I felt, be quicker. I'm cony about the anti-climax. One of the gunmen preceded me and held oj>en the door. The other I could hear behind me changing his ]>osition in the car. The flint man. his automatic still held in his arms, bowed stiffly to me, turned away and flashed hits torch on a steel gateway. He walked forward. pressed a bell, bowed again and walked away. But I had seen in the first flash of his torch, that across the steel gateway were the ma<ric words. "Embajado Britanic" —the British Embassy buildings.
