Do you think they'll follow us in here?
gpt
I doubt it, replied Jacques.
human
There are only four of them now you know.
gpt
Only two of them were hit, objected Leon.
human
I don't believe that those two who were thrown from their horses were hurt.
gpt
Not badly perhaps, agreed Jacques.
human
They got an awful jolt just the same. At any rate it's only six to three now.
gpt
What do you think they'll do?
human
I wish I knew.
gpt
Can't we crawl up to the edge of the woods and look at them?
human
That would be pretty risky.
gpt
But we want our monoplane back again.
human
Isn't there a full moon to-night?
gpt
I believe there is, said Jacques.
human
Why do you ask?
gpt
Just as soon as the moon comes up we can sneak up to the border of the forest and everything in the clearing will be lighted up; we will hide in the shadow of the trees and can pick off the Boches at our leisure. Isn't that a good scheme?
human
Fine, said Jacques,
gpt
What's that?
human
You don't think the Germans are going to sit out there all this time, do you? Undoubtedly they have sent for help already.
gpt
Then, exclaimed Leon,
human
That's right, cried Earl eagerly.
gpt
It's our only chance and we must be quick about it too.
human
Don't you think so, Jacques? insisted Leon.
gpt
Come along.
human
It's an awful chance,
gpt
I know, exclaimed Leon,
human
That's true, Jacques agreed.
gpt
I guess you're right; we'd better try it now.
