Please continue when
you're able, Mrs. Hontvedt.

:04:28
When I could open the door,
:04:31
I looked out and saw the man
grab a chair with both hands.

:04:37
So I shut the door again
and hurried back to my sister.

:04:42
I told Karen to hang on
and we would escape

:04:44
through my bedroom window.
:04:47
But she said
she was too tired...

:04:50
just laid there
on the floor.

:04:53
And the man
kept pounding on the door.

:05:00
I told Anethe to hide,
so she jumped out the window.

:05:04
When I told her to go
and to look for help,

:05:08
she said she could not.
:05:12
The fear had taken
her voice.

:05:15
- I was standing at the door...
:05:19
keeping out the man.
:05:23
And then suddenly
the pounding stopped.

:05:27
I heard Anethe
"Hello, Louis"

:05:30
several times.
:05:33
And I went to the window
:05:36
and looked out,
and saw that man.

:05:40
Louis! Louis, no!
:05:42
With a big axe he struck her
once and she fell.

:05:45
Please...!
:05:48
He struck her again, and back
he came toward the house.

:05:51
Again I told my sister
Karen to run,

:05:53
but she said
she was too tired.
