About a dozen Hun machines were rising from aerodromes at Passementerie, away to the left, but if they were after us the attempt to reach our height in time was futile. Between Le Recul and Princebourg we dropped fifteen hundred feet below the three rear machines, which hovered above us.
But the opportunity for five minutes quiet chat behind her mother's back did not present itself. Arthur, who rarely dined out, handed the ladies into the carriage. Mrs. Barton was beautifully dressed in black satin; Olive was lost in a mass of tulle; Alice wore a black silk trimmed with passementerie and red ribbons.
