"No less," Hal agreed; "and still, to my mind, it would be extremely better if the decisive blow were delivered by American troops, whether at Sedan or elsewhere."
"Right, as usual, Hal," was Chester's reply.
And although neither lad knew it then, it was to be the fortune of American troops to wrest Sedan from the hands of the invader and to be the first forces of democracy to tread the streets of the historic city.
"We've talked enough, Chester," Hal whispered. "It's time for action."
"Let's be on the move, then," Chester whispered back. "Which way?"
"Might as well head toward the city, I guess."
"How about the plane here?"
Hal shrugged in the darkness.
"We'll have to leave it, I guess. If we're not back by morning it will be discovered, of course, and a search instituted for its occupants."
"Which might lead to our discovery," said Chester.
