:44:02
Well, I may have something
that might cheer you up.
:44:05
A little bit of magic.
:44:07
No more magic, please.
:44:09
Abra Chihuahua!
:44:13
Let me see. Let me see.
:44:15
- It's addressed to all of us!
- I recognise the writing. It's Dad's.
:44:19
Open it, Cyril. Go on, you have to.
:44:21
In all the kerfuffle, I almost forgot.
:44:25
"My darling children,
:44:27
I hope you are all happy, healthy,
and up to plenty of mischief
:44:30
and soaking up all the joys of the country. "
:44:33
He's got the soaking part right.
:44:35
Sh.
:44:35
"Jane, I hope you are enjoying your violin.
:44:39
However hard it is to learn now,
:44:40
it's something you'll be glad of one day.
:44:44
Anthea, I'm thoroughly enjoying
the novel you hid in my luggage.
:44:48
The Plummeting Pilot Of Poslewait.
:44:50
All the boys in the squadron
are lining up to borrow it.
:44:53
And, Robert...
:44:55
the Sopwith's a bit tricky in the air,
but she's a beauty.
:44:58
I wish I could fly over to see you.
:45:01
Let's all hope it won't be long.
:45:03
And, Cyril...
:45:05
these are difficult days for us all.
:45:08
But I know I can count on you.
:45:11
Whatever happens,
you must stand by one another.
:45:14
Now, give the Lamb a big kiss from me.
:45:18
I'd better grab some shuteye
as I am on dawn patrol.
:45:22
All my love always,
:45:26
Dad. "
:45:43
Read it again, Cyril.
:45:52
Martha?
:45:53
Unexpected guest just arrived.
:45:56
On a flying visit, I suppose.
I didn't know about this.
:45:59
A guest, sir?
