Another exeat! You lucky thing! exclaimed Betty enviously.
gpt
Why can't my brother come to Whitecliffe?
human
Can't you bring him to school and introduce him to us?
gpt
Or take some of us out with you?
human
We're simply dying to meet him!
gpt
He has only the one afternoon to spare, replied Marjorie,
human
How glorious to have a brother home from the front! she said wistfully.
gpt
If he were mine, I'd nearly worship him. There'd be such heaps of things I'd want to ask him, too. I'd like to hear all about a tank.
human
You've seen them on the cinema.
gpt
But only the outside, of course. I want to know exactly how they work. Don't laugh. Why shouldn't I? Surely every patriotic girl ought to be keen on everything in connection with the war. I wish you'd ask him.
human
Why, I will if you like.
gpt
You won't forget?
human
I'll try not.
gpt
And there's a new shell we've just been making. I wonder how it answers. I heard we've some new guns too. Would your brother know?
human
Really, I shall never remember all this! Pity you can't come with us and ask him for yourself.
gpt
I believe I could get an exeat----
human
I'm sure you couldn't! snapped Marjorie.
gpt
Dona and I are going just by ourselves.
