Biggles looked thunderstruck. 'Why, less than three hours ago we were still going hammer and tongs.'
Ì know. You must have fired the last shots in the war.'
`So that's why the Russians stopped shooting and started cheering instead!' cried Biggles, suddenly understanding.
The Colonel smiled. 'Of course. Most sensible people would rather cheer than shoot each other. Are you coming home with me?'
Biggles glanced at the others. 'Well, there seems to be nothing more to stay here for so we may as well,' he said. 'There's only one thing.'
What is it?'
`Don't, if you value my sanity, send us on any more of these wild paper-chases.'
`That won't be necessary, now the papers are in the bag,' laughed Colonel Raymond. '
Come on, let's be going. As a matter of fact, the day I left England I heard a certain member of the Air Council asking for you.'
Biggles looked up. 'Asking for me? What did he want me for?'
Colonel Raymond coughed apologetically. 'Well — er — I seem to remember him saying something about a job in France.'
Biggles shook his head sadly. 'Now I understand the hurry to get us home,' he murmured with a sigh of resignation. 'I might have guessed there was a trick in it.'
