She found herself strung to her highest pitch of excitement by the air raids, which in the midst of their terrors had the singular effect of exciting many people and filling them with an insane recklessness. Those so excited somehow seemed to feel themselves immune. Feather chattered about "Zepps" as if bombs could only wreak their vengeance upon coast towns and the lower orders.
Looking up, I saw three large "Zepps," flying low, and rolling slightly in the stiff morning breeze, returning to their lair after a strenuous night out. As they passed over the school-children in a neighbouring village cheered excitedly. Except for the usual mosquito bites and inability to sleep, the day passed uneventfully.
It is needless to add they consider it a grave infringement of their personal liberty and think that they should be allowed to remain in the open and see all that goes on, just as the little Londoners beg and coax to be allowed to stay up "to see the Zepps." Passing the railway station we stopped to make some enquiries, and promptly ascertained all we wished to know from the Chef de Gare.
I had expected to get in to dinner, but it was eleven o'clock before I reached my destination. I had not even the satisfaction of seeing a raid, for the Zepps, made cautious by recent heavy losses, had turned back before crossing the line of the coast.
They 'Uns is 'ere!" "Who is here?" exclaimed Sara, somewhat startled. "The Zepps, miss the Zepps! The guns are firing off every minute or two. There!" as the blurred thunder of anti-aircraft guns boomed in the distance. "There they go again!" Sara leaped out of bed in an instant, hastily pulling on a fascinating silk kimono and thrusting her bare feet into a pair of scarlet Turkish slippers.
As he was leaving the room, Feather called to him airily: "If you hear any more of the Zepps just dash in and tell me! Don't lose a minute! Just dash!" When the front door was heard to close upon him, Coombe remarked casually: "I will ask you to put an immediate stop to that sort of thing."
I believe the War and living among soldiers has had an effect on me and made me braver. The Zepps don't frighten me at all at least they excite me so that they make me forget to be frightened. I don't know what they do to me exactly. The whole thing gets into my head and makes me want to rush about and see everything. I wouldn't go into a cellar for worlds. I want to see!"
