SYNOPSIS David Hutchinson. Amerlcsn ■viator with the R.A.F. “Hornets," make* • forced landing on a golf course in Kent, England, where he meets lovely Wendy Bruce, on leave from the Ambulance Corps. iust as David finishes repairing is plane, he sees three Messerschmitts chasing one Spitlre, and flies off to join in the fight. Wendy, rooted to the spot, watches the battle till the planes disappear in the clouds. Then she returns to “The Downs,” ancestral home of her father. Lord Harrowsdale. War had changed the luxurious mode of life at “The Downs" for all were doing their bit; hie Lordship was an air raid warden, while Lady Harrowsdale directed the local hospital. Wendy can't get the American out of her mind; even now he might be lying on the ground somewhere, wounded or dead. Arriving home she finds her brother, Philip, there on leave impatiently waiting for an “opening” in the Hornets. The telephone rings-Orders for Philip to join the squadron immediately.... One of the Hornets had been shot down nearby. Could it be David? Wendy wonders. CHAPTER FOUR Philip found his mother In ths flower garden on the far side of ths house from the golf links. In her spare moments, and they we;'e becoming rarer and rarer a» work with aick and wounded officers at the hospital absorbed more and more of her time, Lady Harrowsdale was fond of what Wendy ted long dubbed the three P's—pruning, planting, and puttering. At the moment her gloved hands were covered with England's good earth. She was putting in her peonies, and a basket of bulbs stood nearby. In her left hand she held a trowel. “Hello, Mater,” Philip called. She turned towards her son and ■miled. “Hello, and how is the army?” She spotted his wings. “Congratulations I When did you get down, and how?” Philip enveloped the slight, grayhaired woman in his bear-like embrace, and kissed her. “A few minutes ago--sort of on leave, you know. But I’ve got to go right back. C. 0. just telephoned. I'm joining the squadron.” The stiffening of the mother's body, the crisping of her hands, as the meaning of these words came home to her, were imperceptible; and her face, thin and slightly

faded but still bearing trace* of beauty, remained calm and without expression to show that inwardly she was suffering. "1 am proud," she said, and there was no catch In her voice to give away her emotion. "Proud that you will now serve England as your father and generations of ancestors have served before you.” This was all in the serious vein. Like well-bred Anglo-Saxons, ehe had a horror of emotional acenes. “Como and look at my dahlias. They’re finer than ever this year. I’m sure I shall win the club prize.** They admired several varieties.... Then he looked at his watch and said, “I'm afraid 111 have to be running.** “1 know, dear. Wendy will drive you to the etation, 1 suppose. Goodbye.** They kissed and he hurried off to look for his father. Lady Harrowsdale went back to her peonies and continued to plant. The old gentleman was in the stable*, watching a groom rub down his favorite bay hunter, Pucka Boy, on which he had just returned from a hard ride aero** the meadows. He wae a handsome man, much taller than Philip, with Iron gray hair a id a well-cared-for mustache. His bearing was military, and ho looked particularly well In his riding clothes. Despite hie other occupation*, he found time for hi* daily ride* aero** country, believing that It wae necessary for morale to keep up the old customs and pastimes a* much a* possible. ‘‘Gad!" he would say to the country people, with whom he often stopped and chatted. "Hitler and all his murderers can’t stop my morning ' and. eon greeted each

other warmly. “Glad to see you, Phil." “Thank you, father. But I’m afraid it's only to say hello and Jood-bye. Orders, you know, sir. ust came through by phone. I’m to Join the squadron at once. Chap shot down not far from here, and I'm to take his place.” There was a glint of pride In the elder man's eyes as he listened to what Ma son was saying. There was no doubt about it. the boy had the stuff. Chip off the old block, Lord Harrowsdale thought, but did not express this opininn aloud. He had fought in the World War from 1914 until he was so badly wounded in 1918. and now he would fight this one through his offspring and heir. Rarely had a generation of the family failed to offer their blood for King and Country. His father had been twice wounded in the Boer War. and his grandfather had served as a young officer in the Crimea, and io back-into history. And now the boy was going off to fight in the gallant cause of liberty against the unspeakable Adolf Hitler. “Give them my compliments,” the father said, refer ring to the Germans. “My very best compliments, punctuated with a few rounds of machine-gun bullets. Good luck and God bless you!” “Thank you, father.” Phil ip drove the two-seater around to the front of the house to where Wendy was still chopping at the golf ball. She saw him coming and walked over to the ear. “I'll go to the station with you and bring the car back.” "Good girl!" She Jumped in beside him and they started off. “Phil,” she said, before they had gone very far. “Yes, my love." There was something in his sister’s voice, a certain anxiety to which he was not accustomed, that ma'de him east a sidelong glance at her lovely, serious face. “Will you do something for me?" “Anything that is humanly possible, my sweet.” “Will you try and get • telephone call through to me as soon as you know who was killed this morning?" "Can’t mention namre over the phone, you know. Strictly against orders." "You won’t have to, Phil. I want to know if it was David Hutchinson. Just say ‘lt was' or it wasn’t.* You can, can’t you?” “That's sort of getting around it, you know, old girl. But for you—

ye*." Wendy put her hand on his knee and squeezed it, conveying her gratefulness without speaking. "11l be waiting," she said in a low voic*. The train was pulling in when Wendy and Philip arrived. The etation platform was very animated, several groups of soldiers, surrounded by friends and families, standing about with full kits, waiting to return to their regiments. Most of the people chatted gaily and made jokes. England was certainly not down-hearted. As the young R.A.F. officer passed amongst them, the soldiers saluted stiffly, and he returned their salute*. The train was also crowded with military men. khakidad figures standing at every window, smiling and waving and shouting, "Thumbs up for England! Thumbs upll" Women canteen worker* were passing briskly up and down, distributing tobacco, cigarettes, tea, biscuits and chocolate bars. Any one witnessing this scene, the same which was being enacted daily In thousands of other place* throughout the land, felt instinctively that no power, however strong, would ever erush th* spirit of the British Empire. Philip found • seat In a firetelass eoaeh with some other officers, two of whom were also aviators and old friend* of hl*. Wendy waited on the platform, walking up and down, watching the scene about her, until the train left. There wars no tearful farewells, ever, from mothers or wives or sw« thcarts, but only gay good-byes. Even last minute adviee w** on the humorous •id*. "Don't come bach," an old
