Is there anything else to confer about? asked Tom.
gpt
Because I can see you're itching to get away, Colin.

If any fresh idea happens to strike me I'll have it on tap when you arrive. Are you sure you've got the directions how to get to Dunkirk, and then how to find my secret hangar on the coast beyond the town, Tom?

We'll be ready to skip out just as soon as our official notice comes to hand,

Any delay there might ruin our plans at the last minute. As it is, we're not apt to have any too much time to beat the steamer to New York.

I've kept tabs on the weather conditions, as it's always been a fad with me; and I'm happy to say there seems to be no storm in prospect, while the winds are apt to be favorable, coming from the east, a rare thing these fall days. So-long, boys, and here's success to our jolly little flight!
