my mates and i lived in a big old house close to campus . `` i guess the boss is already here ? '' he 'd had no idea she could make herself so large . `` if i 'd known i 'd be spending the day here , i might have packed a bag . '' they are not the enemy today . the rocks went bouncing off the turtle 's roof , leaving dimples in the thick layers of hides . he had to get this soldier out of scanning and visual range .
