What has Jacques under his arm?
gpt
I can't see,
human
It's a roll of wire, cried Earl suddenly.
gpt
We'll soon be off now.
human
If the Germans don't reach here first we will.
gpt
Don't be so gloomy, Earl protested.
human
Of course we'll get away.
gpt
It'll be dark soon.
human
All the better. They won't be able to see us in the dark.
gpt
And we won't be able to see our way.
human
You're an old pessimist, exclaimed Earl lightly.
gpt
Good boy, Jacques, he cried as the young Frenchman came within hearing.
human
I knew you'd fix us up all right.
gpt
We must hurry, panted Jacques, his breath almost gone after his quick trip across the field.
human
We haven't much time.
gpt
Can't I help?
human
No, thanks; I can probably work faster alone.
