Do you suppose we'll have as easy a trip home as we did coming?
gpt
We can go the long way if you want to,
human
What do you think, Leon? demanded Earl.
gpt
Don't you think we might as well take the longer but the safer route on the return trip?
human
I don't see why not, exclaimed Leon.
gpt
We can fly just behind the battle-line all the way back. I'd like to see what it looks like.
human
So should I, agreed Jacques.
gpt
We'll do it then, only we'll have to keep a mile or so behind the front.
human
That's all right, exclaimed Earl.
gpt
We can see if we're a mile or so high.
human
Look! he cried excitedly.
gpt
There's another monoplane!
human
Where?
gpt
To your right.
human
That's a German flier, he remarked.
gpt
Get the machine-gun ready.
human
What are you going to do?
gpt
Chase him of course,
human
Now you fellows will have to do all the work with the machine-gun,
gpt
Leave that to us,
human
I'll have to; maneuvering this machine will keep me busy.
gpt
Do you suppose he sees us?
human
Certainly he does,
gpt
And he's ready to fight?
human
If he wasn't he'd turn and run.
gpt
How soon shall we open fire?
human
I don't know yet; he's two miles away now, anyway.
