“I have four and a half hours to live. I am leaning against the wing of the yellow-bellied Airspeed Oxford, smoking contentedly while the ground crew chaps run their final checks. The freezing rain hisses as it hits the glowing coal of my cigarette, drums softly on the tin roof of the hangar. Call me Johnnie, by the way. Everyone does.” The Beauty Chorus by Kate Lord Brown- page 1

A very interesting quote BUT a bit scary. Only four hours to live…I would go mad.
I wonder what happens in 4 and a half hours. Good teaser.
Very interesting teaser!
Anachronist, Yes, I don’t think I’d want to know I only had 4 hours to live. Although you really have to read further into the chapter to really know what’s going on.
Carol, my lips are sealed.
Fredamans, thanks.
