Because everyone is an Algy fan at heart, whether they know it or not.
Algy drew a deep breath of relief. He did not move, but stood staring into the soft moonlight listening, while he could still hear the engine. The sound faded. As there was now no point in remaining he had half turned away when from the direction of the road came a spasmodic burst of gunshots, rifle or revolver. He stiffened. He looked at Lin Seng. Their eyes met. There was nothing to say.
Curiously, it is the first time it is mentioned that Biggles likes curry? I wonder if a curry restaurant had just opened near WEJ and he had become a fan...
ReplyDeleteHe did grow up in India, so maybe he got used to it? I know he seems to like steak a lot, he mentions eating steak a lot in passing.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that I find it hard to imagine Biggles eating a curry...the wording is odd too "not as mad as you are about curry", implying that Biggles liked curry a lot?
When I was about 15, I got taken to my first Thai restaurant. I had no idea what to get, but settled on Chicken Satay, because (as I said at the time) "Biggles told Algy it was good."
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with it, and every time we get Thai food, I have to order it.
Now, I'm not saying I'm going to do something daft like have sardines for breakfast, like Ginger does in FTR, but Biggles did not steer me wrong on this occasion.
