Some sight, hey, pal? Dave grunted, and swept a hand toward the array of war planes of all descriptions that lined all four sides of the field.
gpt
It would kind of make Adolf feel sick, if he could get a look at that bunch.
human
He'll hear them, if not see them, soon enough! Freddy replied with emphasis.
gpt
And I hope I'll be in one of them that's right over his head. I say! What beastly weather, though!
human
This? Dave echoed, and looked at him in surprise.
gpt
Why, I should think it would make you feel homesick. I've seen plenty of weather just like this on your tea-drinking island. Holy smoke! Every time the sun comes out in England, you birds don't know what it is that's happened for the first couple of minutes. What's the matter, pal? Down in the dumps because you've been hooked for a bit of possible action?
human
No, not a bit of it, Freddy sighed.
gpt
Just the usual unhappy feeling. Man! How I'd love to be given a war assignment without having to worry about you being along to probably mess up the whole business! But I suppose that's the cross I must bear.
human
You'll bear a punch in the nose, if you don't look out! Dave growled.
gpt
But, kidding aside, I wonder what comes next? Major Barber dropped us like hotcakes the minute we arrived in that Army bomber. Told us to go get breakfast, and have a look around. Well, we've been doing that for a couple of hours now. Me, I could do with those further orders he was talking about.
human
Me, too, Freddy said with a nod.
gpt
But I fancy he'll get around to it when he's good and ready. This isn't the first time we've been kept in the dark as to what things were all about.
human
Nor will it be the last! Dave grunted.
gpt
But I don't blame the Major a bit. In this war you can tell a secret to the Sphinx, and first thing you know it's all over town. But that Major Barber is a good guy. And plenty! Me for him, any day in the week. I'll wait, if he says so.
human
Nice of you, Freddy chuckled.
gpt
You blasted well will, and jolly well like it, too, my fine friend.
human
Okay, okay! Dave growled.
gpt
I was only pointing out--Oh, skip it! What type bomber would you like to go across in, Freddy? There're all makes here.
human
Any one of them, it doesn't matter, Freddy replied,
