“Much better, but the sea will be better still.”
“I suppose so,” Nancy replied dreamily. “But don’t forget, your enemy sub-pack may turn out to be friendly ships or planes.”
“I won’t forget. All the same, I want to know.”
“Wonder where Danny is.”
“And Barbara.”
“Oh! I forgot to tell you. I had a letter from Barbara this morning. Guess where she is now?”
“Where we’re going?”
“That’s just where she is. Won’t it be great if you can hop off from the sky with her again?” Nancy laughed.
“I wouldn’t mind. I’ll bet you an ice-cream soda I’ll have a chance to use that experience before the year is over.”
“Easy aces! You’re on. If I never win another bet, that’s one for me.”
