I repaired his right wing pinfeather—‘...news of a mine disaster, caused by a large savage sea rat with an extraordinary tail. It seems that this rat—Cluny they called him—wanted to settle his army in the mine. The badgers and other creatures who owned the mine drove them out. Cluny returned by night, and with his band of rats gnawed away and undermined much of the wooden shoring. This caused the mine to collapse the next day, killing the owners.’

Hospital Tommy drew a pinfeather toothpick from under his smock.

Other pinfeather fliers, who turned their checkered caps backward when they climbed into their planes, called him "The Dude."
