Code Name Verity Part 2, Chapter 11 Summary

  • Georgia Penn has located Julie inside the Ormaie Gestapo.
  • It's now November 20, and Maddie and Julie have been in France for six weeks.
  • Miss Penn reports that Julie told the Gestapo she was a wireless operator, so they've been spending their time trying to get made-up code out of her instead of learning anything about her real mission: blowing up the Ormaie Gestapo.
  • Miss Penn takes Mitraillette and Maddie out to sit on a bench and pretends to be working on knitting while she tells them what she learned about Verity.
  • She reports that Verity has been tortured.
  • She also passes on the information Verity managed to give her about the Chateau de Bordeaux—she says Verity seems to think she can complete her mission even as a prisoner.
  • Verity also thinks Engel is about to turn, so the Resistance should make it easy for her to find them.
  • Maddie admits she used to be jealous of all Julie's advantages and accomplishments, but she feels awful because all she can think of is Julie's situation now.
