Quote #7
Verity, Verity, must remember to call her Verity. Bother. (2.4.1)
It seems like everyone else in Operation Dogstar has code names from Peter Pan—everyone except for Julie, that is. But then again, she's not quite like the rest of them.
Quote #8
Mitraillette gently unlocked my fingers from the Colt .32 and made me put it away. She whispered, "C'était la Vérité?" Was that Verity?
Or perhaps she just meant, Was that the truth? Was it true? Did any of it really happen? Were the last three hours real?
"Yes," I whispered back. "Oui. C'était la vérité." (2.18.7-9)
We love us a good double meaning, and here we get verity as a person and verity as a concept, not that these are necessarily separate concepts for Maddie.
Quote #9
What's strange about the whole thing is that although it's riddled with nonsense, altogether it's true—Julie's told our story, mine and hers, our friendship, so truthfully. It is us. We even had the same dream at the same time. How could we have had the same dream at the same time? How can something so wonderful and mysterious be true? But it is. (2.20.5)
Ah, an answer at last to the question of how all Julie's lies could be true. The Gestapo wanted a confession, which is exactly what they got—just not a confession about the British war effort. Instead Julie wrote them a true story about her friendship with Maddie, using that cover story to hide the fact that she wasn't giving anything away.
