"Neither. I understand it's to be handed over to the Air Minister this evening, for him to take to town to-morrow. In that case O'Rourke will have it. Sure to."

"I suppose," said Jimmy, "that we are rather butting in on his preserves."
"Can't be helped," said Bill. "Not if we mean to see this thing through."
"Then it's agreed," said Jimmy. "We divide the night into two watches?"
Again Bundle opened her mouth, and again shut it without speaking.
"Right you are," agreed Bill. "Who'll take first duty?"
