“A plane soared overhead, painted in brown and greens, flying low, weaving the glassy sky. To her surprise, she recognized the concentric red, white and blue roundels on its undercarriage from countless old films. A moment later, two more planes joined it, and the three planes gathered in an arrow formation. ‘They’re Spitfires,’ Joe gasped. Becky watched the Spitfires separate. Then, to her horror, an earsplitting clatter of gunfire rang out as bullets peppered the distant sand, firing at someth...ing she couldn’t see. ‘Associates!’ Uncle Percy shouted. ‘Back to Blanche!’ Following his lead, the group raced off in the direction of the time machine. Edgar charged ahead, followed by Joe, Will, Becky, Uncle Percy, with Butterby bringing up the rear at little more than a fast shuffle. Alarmed, Becky glanced back at the struggling Butterby. Whirling round, she sped over to him. ‘Come on, Mister Butterby. You need to run.’ ‘I’m sorry, my dear,’ Butterby replied. ‘I’m afraid I’m not the man I once was, and these sandals weren’t exactly made for a sprint.’ ‘Let me help.’ Becky shouldered him as best she could.MoreLessRead More Read Less
