Mata Hari's Last Dance
“I have had only one visit since my disastrous meeting with Bouchardon and Ladoux—from Bowtie. I haven’t heard a word from Edouard.
The drive lasts only a few minutes and before we reach the courthouse I see that the streets are filled with people, many of them chanting my name and holding signs that read Free Mata Hari and Innocent. Some women in the crowd are weeping. The sight touches me; I didn’t realize I had female admirers. If he manages to visit me again, I will thank Bowtie. He prom...ised me that he would rally people in my support.
As soon as we come to a stop, a dozen reporters swarm the car. I regret that I am not wearing something glamorous, an ensemble that represents who I am, an entertainer. Instead I am dressed in a simple blue skirt and blouse given to me by my jailers. One of my guards opens the car door and the ambush is immediate.
“Mata Hari!” a reporter shouts. “Why are you spying for Germany?”MoreLess
