They can't do much to stop that fire now, remarked Leon grimly.
gpt
By the way the barn burns it must be full of hay.
human
I'll go speak to them, exclaimed Earl.
gpt
They may be able to give us some wire.
human
I'd better go, I guess, said Jacques.
gpt
As my French is better than yours I can probably talk to them easier than you can.
human
That's true, agreed Earl readily.
gpt
Why don't we all go?
human
You two stay here and guard this monoplane, exclaimed Jacques.
gpt
They may arrive here after us at any minute.
human
If that aviator who threw the bomb has landed yet, remarked Leon,
gpt
They've got to go through a lot of woods to reach this spot, said Earl.
human
Perhaps they won't be able to find it.
gpt
Don't you worry about that; they'll come straight here without the least bit of trouble.
human
The minute any Germans appear it seems to me the thing for us to do is to take to the woods. We might be able to escape that way.
gpt
Our chance of escape depends on whether Jacques can get any wire or not, said Leon.
human
I wish he could hurry.
gpt
He'll do his best, remarked Earl.
human
You may be sure of that.
gpt
What's he doing over there anyway?
human
Talking with the priests as far as I can see, said Earl.
gpt
I guess they decided there was no use in trying to save their barn.
human
I should say not. It's too bad though and as a matter of fact we are the ones who are really to blame for it.
gpt
How so?
human
Well, if we hadn't landed in this clearing that German flier would not have dropped any bombs down here.
gpt
That's true, agreed Earl.
human
Where's that priest going?
