Within thirty minutes the start was made, and with it began the most marvellous experience of Gilbert Lennard's life, not even excepting his battle-trip in the conning-tower of the Ithuriel. "All aboard, I think, Captain Roker," said Mr Parmenter, as he walked last to the top of the gangway ladder, and stood square-footed on the white deck of the Auriole.
During the next few seconds, two of the most beautiful girls in the two hemispheres looked at each other, as only girls and women can look. Then Auriole put out both her hands and said, quite simply: "You are Norah Castellan. I hope we shall be good friends. If we're not, I'm afraid it will be my fault."
"Feeling good about it?" "Who wouldn't be?" "Thought you took it quiet." "I'm sorry." "Maybe you had some hopes along this street?" "I guessed there was something doing," she answered in an echo of his tone. "It's all fixed then." "I suppose so." "Say I don't want you to think I'm only doing this out of expediency." "You're not?" "Not altogether." "Better and better," said Auriole.
Of course it's all right that you got hold of it before anybody else, but all the same I don't want you to be worrying yourself for nothing and get laid up before the time comes to take the glory of the discovery." While he was speaking the door of the breakfast-room opened and Auriole came in.
He hardly knew how it came about that he and Auriole kissed one another somehow they found time for that and as the car moved away she leant out to say: "You dear brave wonderful Sportsman." Then he and Flora were alone in the road watching the red rear lamp disappear into the night. "You've got some pluck," said Flora. As she helped him into the cloak that Anthony had thrown aside.
For a moment a flash of enthusiasm burned in her eyes. "The persecution has failed then?" "It's early to say so but we've a notion it 'ud do no harm to accelerate a trifle." "You'd hardly dare torture him more than you've done already." "We thought of trying out one or two new effects but supposing they fail then it's up to you to take a hand." "No," said Auriole, "no.
Hipps stood thinking for a moment. "I've half a mind to turn on the girl again. Let her vamp the secret out of him. We don't progress, you know. Say, you don't think they've a line on where we've got him hid?" Van Diest waved away the suggestion. "No, no, no. S'all right. S'arranged too well." "Then I'll trot up West and buy Auriole a lunch. What time tonight?" "At nine o'clock." "I'll be along."
"I always knew them," she returned. "Then you must know how hurt I am how very hurt to think that you well, I mean, it's dreadful most er most dreadful." "Were you expecting loyalty from me?" "There are degrees," he replied with a reproachful glance. "Wonderful," said Auriole. "It's wonderful really." Her voice dropped and she looked him squarely in the eyes.
His eyes were dazzled by the head lights, but his memory for voices was not dulled. He leapt back a clear five feet and presented the pistol full in her face. "I know you," he said. "You're Auriole Craven. But if you or any of that damn crowd try to stop me " "No, no, no," she cried. "I'm with you not against. What on earth are you doing here?" "Doing? I'd almost done it.
And so began the first voyage of the first British aërial battleship. The Duke of Connaught had his headquarters at Amersham Hall School on the Caversham side of the Thames, which was, of course, closed in consequence of the war, and half an hour after the Auriole had left the grounds of Buckingham Palace she was settling to the ground in the great quadrangle of the school.
