SCENE: R.F.C. CLUB. TIME: EVERY TIME.

First Pilot. Why, it's Brown-Jones!

Second Pilot. Hullo, old thing! What are you doing now?

First Pilot. Oh, I'm down at Puddlemarsh teaching huns--monoavros, pups and dolphins.

Second Pilot. I'm on the same game, down at Mudbank--sop-two-seaters and camels. We've got an old tinside, too, for joy-riding.

First Pilot. You've given up the rumpety, then?

Second Pilot. Yes. I was getting ham-handed and mutton-fisted, flapping the old things every day; felt I wanted to stunt about a bit.

First Pilot. Have you ever butted up against Robinson-Smith at Mudbank? He was an ack-ee-o, but became a hun.

Second Pilot. Yes, he crashed a few days ago--on his first solo flip, taking off--tried to zoom, engine konked, bus stalled--sideslip--nose-dive. Not hurt, though. What's become of Smith-Jones? Do you know?

First Pilot. Oh, yes. He's on quirks and ack-ws. He tried spads, but got wind up. Have you seen the new-----?
