This is the safest place I've struck yet, exclaimed Dubois.
gpt
All the German shells go over our heads here. We're just as safe here as we would be ten miles behind the firing line.
human
Yon wouldn't be absolutely safe that far away,
gpt
Well pretty nearly so anyway,
human
How about Dunkirk? demanded Earl.
gpt
See what they did there.
human
What did they do?
gpt
They dropped a shell in the town from a distance of twenty-two miles. What good would ten miles do you against a gun like that?
human
The Germans certainly have some wonderful guns all right, said Dubois.
gpt
They won't touch us here though I guess.
human
We're sort of between the fires, aren't we?
gpt
Yes, said one of the men,
human
Tiresome! exclaimed Earl.
gpt
It seems to me there is enough going on around here to suit anybody.
human
Not for me, said the man, Armande by name.
gpt
I think I'll go out and take a look around.
human
You're crazy, exclaimed Dubois.
gpt
What's the use in doing a thing like that? You'll only get killed and what good will it do?
human
I won't be killed, laughed Armande.
gpt
Those Boches, they cannot shoot.
human
Don't you fool yourself, said Dubois seriously.
gpt
Of course they can shoot and shoot well too. You are foolish, Armande.
human
Perhaps, Armande admitted with a shrug.
gpt
At any rate I shall now crawl over and have a look at the German trenches while it is yet dark. I shall be back before long.
human
I hope so,
