Fancy seeing the daughters and nieces of the air force been sent away to a safe location elsewhere, said Baldrick yeah said Dennis all of them with their posh suitcases and trunks full of their clothes as they walk gracefully to the train station so sweet, what utter nonsense just because they have money to splash about the place they could afford to send them to France and parts of the commonwealth as an evacuation, said Captain Black Adder reading the newspaper I wish I had money to send my sister away on a posh evacuation I did not know you had a sister Baldrick; said Dennis yes her name is Alice Is she the one with the lazy eye and limp said Captain Black Adder yes; said Baldrick and I love her to bits I have a sister do you Dennis yes her name is Ruth and she is a doll, all the men in my village like her specially one man in general called Oliver who is the son of a local celebrity in my home village, what is this celebrity name Sam Buck fizz; who is he said Baldrick let's just say he's the Flash-heart of the village said Dennis does he parade the streets saying how he is oozing with sex appeal and can make anything have an orgasm; said Baldrick; he's not that kind of man thank god, said Captain Black Adder the last thing I want to witness is another Flash-heart frolicking around wartime Britain; what my uncle means is that Sam Buck fizz is tamed as a Red Cross rescue dog;
A 15 year old girl wonders into the trench Captain Black Adder looks up he puts down the newspaper are you Captain Black Adder; she said yes madam may I help you the name is Holly why are you dressed as a boy? Said Dennis that is none of your business I want to join you and your men in defeating the enemy, Captain Black Adder Baldrick and Dennis laughs Holly pulls out a pistol and fires it in the air, Dennis Baldrick and Captain Black Adder get down on the floor; when did you learn to fire like that?

Said Dennis better out than in so what is the first task besides killing the enemy force with our bear hands until their brains come out; said Holly there is no first task now leave before your uncle comes looking for you said Captain Black Adder, he's too busy training my brothers over at his flying headquarters; That show off has his own flying headquarters said Captain Black Adder oh yeah said Holly called the busty ladies, I thought it was called the Twenty minutes said Baldrick he must have changed the name anyway enough about my uncle let's get down to business.
