Teuta was, of course, before any of us.

She seems to know by instinct when Rupert is coming.
It was certainly a wonderful sight to see the little aeroplane, with outspread wings like a bird in flight, come sailing high over the mountains.

There was a head-wind, and they were beating against it; otherwise we should not have had time to get to the tower before the arrival.
When once the "aero" had begun to drop on the near side of the mountains, however, and had got a measure of shelter from them, her pace was extraordinary.

We could not tell, of course, what sort of pace she came at from looking at herself.

But we gathered some idea from the rate at which the mountains and hills seemed to slide away from under her.
