“Are you flying ‘The Hornet’ to-night?”
“I expect so.”
“You were up last night, weren’t you? Mactold me so at Brooklands this morning.”
“Yes—Zepp-hunting. I was up three hours,but, alas! had no luck. Two came in overEssex but were scared by the anti-aircraft boys,and turned tail. Better luck to-night, I hope,”and Ronald Pryor, the tall, dark, good-lookingyoung man in grey flannels, laughed merrilyas, with a quick movement, he flicked the ashfrom his after-luncheon cigarette.
