The front was a large flat oval, two large turrets mounted top and bottom (the bottom one able to retract for surface landings).

One of the things that had become a real irritation to David was Connie's locking the bath door when she went in. Several times that year he had needed to use the bath while she was in it but had to wait until she was through. Connie had explained that she needed her privacy.

He wrapped the towel around himself and let his daughter in - as he quickly.
