...amiable Daniel De Luce had got into Yugoslavia, how long he would be able to stay, how he was getting his dispatches out. Good guess was that he had gone in with some Allied officers who are known to have reached Partisan Army headquarters; that Allied torpedo boats probably tote his dispatches across the Adriatic Sea to Italy...
Tempo, Timetable. Long John's speed and success come from his habit of planning everything to a split minute. His "muck trains" tote out debris on a rail road timetable basis; his sweating rockhogs know exactly how far they must bore. (Long John expects to get through in four months.)

If they get half the cordial welcome we got we're sure they will leave Cambridge with as happy an impression as we have now. In our two and a half months here many things have happened to all of us personally, as well as to us as a group. We've tried to say our good-byes to most of our friends, but for those we've missed...
