Beware the Dog : Roald Dahl [2 of 32]

• Everything is fine, he thought. I'm doing all right. I'm doing nicely. I know my way home. I'll be there in half an hour.
• When I land I shall taxi in and switch off my engine and I shall say, help me to get out, will you.
• I shall make my voice sound ordinary and natural and none of them will take any notice. Then I shall say, someone help me to get out.
• I can't do it alone because I've lost one of my legs. They'll all laugh and think that I'm joking, and I shall say, all right,
• come and have a look, you unbelieving bastards. Then Yorky will climb up onto the wing and look inside.
• He'll probably be sick because of all the blood and the mess. I shall laugh and say, for God's sake, help me out.
