"And I also!" said Aloysius, earnestly "Dear lady, be advised! Think no more of flying in the vast spaces of air alone alone with an enormous piece of mechanism which might fail at any moment " "It cannot fail unless the laws of nature fail!" said Morgana, emphatically "How strange it is that neither of you seems to realise that the force which moves the 'White Eagle' is natural force alone!
