No, my dad is dying and I'm here for support for her. Sorry, I just have a natural reticence to talking about these things, so I am less than clear sometimes...

Vera looked down at the mess that was her blouse. Amazing that one small dog could cause so much mess all at one go. She rummaged about in her trunk for a new blouse that a) wasn't soaked and b) didn't smell vaguely of puppy. Finally, she found something suitable and slipped it on.

"Now. Where did that little reprobate get off to?" She slipped out the door and began calling quietly, "Vivaldi! Here boy! I've got some bacon!" She thought to herself that she shoud, at some point actually get some bacon to back up the enticement. But that was for another day.

She wandered the corridors for a while, glancing under tables and into cabins that had slightly opened doors. She was starting to get slighlty worried when she bumped into Dr Montsnmags as he stepped out of his room.

"Sorry... dear lady. I wasn't paying... attention to where I was... going."

"Have you seen VIvaldi?" Vera asked, "He seems to have run off"

"Yes... I have seen... him. Smallish grey... dog, bearded... face, perpetual... odor? You have had him around for several... days."

As with most conversations with Dr Montsnmags, Vera had to stop for a few moments to try and put all the pieces in proper order. "No, I mean that he has run off and I was wondering if you had seen him in the last few minutes?"

"Seen... him? Not... probably."

"If you do, could you grab him and bring him back to me? I'm beginning to think that I should be concerned about him."

"Very... well."

hm... vivaldi missing, and the Doctor claiming "probably" not to have seen him... seems sketchy to me.

Harv helped Biggles pick up all the things that were dropped on the ground. He quickly inspected the pistol and made sure that there were no bullets in the chambers.

"So, what's the deal? Some sort of international conspiracy to overthrow the government of Cuba? What? Another bug?" Biggles convulsed violently.

Harv pounded him on the back. "You okay?"

"Dear boy! Have you been rummaging through my intelligence briefs?"

"I can safely say that I've never rummaged through anyone's briefs, intelligent or not."

The two men stood at the cornter and watched a man walking on the other side of the street having an anmiated conversation with a large dog.

"I say, old bean! Does anything strike you as peculiar about that pair?"

"Well," said Harv, "It's not every day that you see a Bernese Mountain Dog in this hot climate..."

Howard Hughes was having problems. His co-pilot had quit somwhere over New Mexico and had used one of the two prototype parachutes that were in the Flying Plane. He vaguely hoped that it was one of the few that actually worked. Hughes was not certain why the fellow had quit. He screamed something about the suicidal autopilot and then something about taking his chances with the 'chute.

That was just silly, Hughes thought, once they'd cleared the mountains, there weren't any upright edifices to fly into whenever the M.A.R.V.I.N. was switched on. As long as the piolot ket a careful eye on the altimeter, there was not much at all for the autopilot to fly into. Piece of cake.

"Where on this gods forsaken planet are we flying to?" intoned the depressive electronic apparatus.

"I thought we'd just nip on over to Cuba. There's a poker game going on there that I'm just dying to get into."

"Don't talk to me about dying. I could make you bald talking about dying."

"Have you ever played poker, Marvie?"

"Don't call me Marvie. Is that anything like flying straight at a mountain with the intent of crashing horribly high up in the air and causing millions of dollars of collateral damage in the ensuing avalanche?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"Then, no. Not yet."

Vera was having a hard time understanding Dr Montsnmags. they seemed to be talking at cross purposes. She was convinced that he was even more loopy than she had at first suspected. He was trying to explain his tour of duty with the Army in the last war.

"I was with Patton's... Army in North Africa. We were not... actually up against the Germans in my particular sector, but had a division of... Italians facing us. Lousy... fighters, the lot of them! We spent most of our time trading cigarettes... for wines and pasta dishes."

"The Italians were our allies in the Great War."

"They... are? Slippery little... bastards! Not able to trust... the bunch of them, no matter what... direction you're going! Serves them... right, the drubbing we'll have given them!"

Vera was having suspicions about Montsnmags grip on reality. Or at least the temporal aspects of it. A figure from literature popped into her brain.

"You wouldn't happen to know a fellow named Merlin, would you?" She smiled, just to let Dr Montsnmags know she was kidding.

"Mer...lin? Incontinent little... bastich all hunched over, trying to save the world from... itself? Can't... stand him! Stealing all my... ideas all the time."

"Riiiight! You're know a mythical figure who doesn't exist?"

"Of course... not, my dear!"

"Sorry. I was getting the impression you were living backward in time, like him."

"Living in just... one direction in time is so... unoriginal."

Vera sat and blinked rapidly.
