By the way, Keane, have you discovered any drawings or designs of this wonderful aeroplane? I don’t see any amongst this pile of papers, and the professor does not seem inclined to help us at all.
gpt
No, sir. We have searched the place carefully, but we have found nothing. Part of the machine could certainly be reconstructed from those spares, but all the important parts are missing. I have an overwhelming curiosity to see the machine, though, and hope that I may not have this pleasure much longer delayed.

Then we have nothing but these photographs,

Photographs?
human
Yes. Why, I forgot to tell you in the bewilderment and excitement of the last hour, that Captain Watson here managed to secure three snapshots of the raider in mid-air, whilst his airship was being attacked.
gpt
It was the boy Gadget who secured them, sir,
human
Oh, yes, Keane, I ought to say that it was a smart little beggar called Gadget, a stowaway, who really secured the photographs, and hid them away from the brigand. We must see that the little chap is properly rewarded when we return.
gpt
Let me see the pictures, sir,
human
Here they are. I have had them developed and enlarged. They should be extremely useful to us, as we shall shortly have to encounter this Sultan Selim, Air King of the Hamadian Desert, the world’s greatest bandit, who had the audacity to send me this document by the captain.
