No points for guessing this one! Bond lay hidden in a shallow depression at the edge of the pinewood, raking the slopes with a pair of high-powered binoculars. So far there appeared to be no indication of Blofeld's secret laboratory, and Bond cursed under his breath for another tip which had proved false. He began to stow his glasses in the pockets of the dark jacket and to strap on the skis of which he had, by now, got the measure. Light and fast, they were more controllable than the old planks on which he had learned to ski. Suddenly, there was a cry from below. It sounded like a girl's voice. He whipped out the glasses again and focussed them on the run. A party of schoolgirls, judging by their blue suits and slight figures, on skis or towing toboggans built for safety, not speed. A whole load had been upset onto the snow, and they were cheerfully extricating themselves. Abruptly his attention was caught by two girls climbing up the slope, towing a sledge and, it seemed, arguing. They were getting perilously close to his hideout: Bond lowered his head cautiously, but they had not seen him. What on earth were they all doing here? Was it just some sick cover for Blofeld's next megalomaniacal scheme of extortion? The quarrel, if that was what it was, came to a head, and the owner of the sledge set off down the slope while the other girl set up a series of loud cries. He scowled. Couldn't the girl keep quiet? She'd bring an avalanche down on them if she wasn't careful. He watched the progress of the toboggan, a wry smile tugging at his mouth, until it turned over and the girl was catapulted out towards the edge of the run, and full into the face of another girl. Bond watched the chaos unfolding, noticing that no-one looked up to his hidden lair, and concluded that this was an innocent party. Nevertheless, when the girls - two of them lying on stretchers - were removed from the field, he descended the slope to inspect the obstacle which had caused the sledge to fly off course. That evening, he sat consuming a tender and bloody steak with a satisfied smile on his face. Blofeld's laboratory was no longer a secret. |
