aulette marveled at how her life could have turned so P quickly, so devastatingly. Within a three-month period she had met and married a man who had seemed every-thing she had ever wanted—tender, yet masculine; under-standing, yet showing strong leadership; passionate, yet disciplined. Then, within a few weeks after becoming Mrs. Garret Brandt, she began fearing that she had married a sinister stranger. How could she have allowed herself to marry so swiftly, and to have made such a life-altering blunder? How she wished she had never found that match-book. Paulette picked up a framed photograph, recognizing the things that had ﬁrst attracted her to Garret Brandt. Her husband had what she described as Teutonic appeal: hair the color of warm, harvest-ready wheat and gray-blue eyes that were clear and vitally alive. Garret also possessed the ability to make a woman feel that she was the most impor-tant person in his universe. She had ﬁrst met him on a Sep-tember afternoon in 1940 when joining her best friend Rhoda and her husband Fergus Nickerson at a mountain

lodge near Neuchâtel, Switzerland. A fair-haired man with a rugged outdoor tan had entered wearing a mountain climbing habit. Paulette had noticed his strong, square jaw-line and the easy self-conﬁdence he displayed, which har-monized with an appearance of superb physical ﬁtness. It was no wonder she had mistaken him for an Olympic gold medal ski champion. Their eyes had met from across the room as though he were unaware of the small crowd, and her lonely heart had believed the moment a wonderful accident in time, a fairy-tale beginning undesigned by human hand. For all the drama of the moment, she felt she had miser-ably blundered the opportunity to show herself a princess-in-waiting. He had walked to where she stood to introduce himself when she had spoken too quickly: “Congratula-tions on your medal.” He had looked at her with puzzlement in his eyes, and possibly a glint of amusement. She had become even more encumbered by reverting to what she had read about him in the newspaper, that he was returning to Germany to offer his services to his “father-land.” “You’re a pilot in the Luftwaffe?” She detected nothing in his glance now except caution. “Are you expecting one?” he had asked. She felt her cheeks grow warm as she realized how foolish she must sound. It only just then began to dawn on her that she had mistaken him for Hans Strasser, the skier. But by this time she was withdrawing into her shell and was afraid to say anything more for fear of adding to the ungraceful beginning. Rhoda, who was standing just behind her, must have heard the bungled exchange, for she nearly choked on her hot cider. “Paulette darling, this is Garret Brandt. Garret,
