How
long
will
they
last
?

I
have
not
an
idea
.
We
will
not
turn
them
on
until
our
symptoms
become
unbearable
.
Then
we
shall
dole
the
gas
out
as
it
is
urgently
needed
.
It
may
give
us
some
hours
,
possibly
even
some
days
,
on
which
we
may
look
out
upon
a
blasted
world
.
Our
own
fate
is
delayed
to
that
extent
,
and
we
will
have
the
very
singular
experience
,
we
five
,
of
being
,
in
all
probability
,
the
absolute
rear
guard
of
the
human
race
upon
its
march
into
the
unknown
.
Perhaps
you
will
be
kind
enough
now
to
give
me
a
hand
with
the
cylinders
.
It
seems
to
me
that
the
atmosphere
already
grows
somewhat
more
oppressive
.

The
chamber
which
was
destined
to
be
the
scene
of
our
unforgettable
experience
was
a
charmingly
feminine
sitting
-
room
,
some
fourteen
or
sixteen
feet
square
.
At
the
end
of
it
,
divided
by
a
curtain
of
red
velvet
,
was
a
small
apartment
which
formed
the
Professor
s
dressing
-
room
.
This
in
turn
opened
into
a
large
bedroom
.
The
curtain
was
still
hanging
,
but
the
boudoir
and
dressing
-
room
could
be
taken
as
one
chamber
for
the
purposes
of
our
experiment
.
One
door
and
the
window
frame
had
been
plastered
round
with
varnished
paper
so
as
to
be
practically
sealed
.
Above
the
other
door
,
which
opened
on
to
the
landing
,
there
hung
a
fanlight
which
could
be
drawn
by
a
cord
when
some
ventilation
became
absolutely
necessary
.
A
large
shrub
in
a
tub
stood
in
each
corner
.

How
to
get
rid
of
our
excessive
carbon
dioxide
without
unduly
wasting
our
oxygen
is
a
delicate
and
vital
question
,
"
said
Challenger
,
looking
round
him
after
the
five
iron
tubes
had
been
laid
side
by
side
against
the
wall
.
"
With
longer
time
for
preparation
I
could
have
brought
the
whole
concentrated
force
of
my
intelligence
to
bear
more
fully
upon
the
problem
,
but
as
it
is
we
must
do
what
we
can
.
The
shrubs
will
be
of
some
small
service
.
Two
of
the
oxygen
tubes
are
ready
to
be
turned
on
at
an
instant
s
notice
,
so
that
we
cannot
be
taken
unawares
.
At
the
same
time
,
it
would
be
well
not
to
go
far
from
the
room
,
as
the
crisis
may
be
a
sudden
and
urgent
one
.

There
was
a
broad
,
low
window
opening
out
upon
a
balcony
.
The
view
beyond
was
the
same
as
that
which
we
had
already
admired
from
the
study
.
Looking
out
,
I
could
see
no
sign
of
disorder
anywhere
.
256
There
was
a
road
curving
down
the
side
of
the
hill
,
under
my
very
eyes
.
A
cab
from
the
station
,
one
of
those
prehistoric
survivals
which
are
only
to
be
found
in
our
country
villages
,
was
toiling
slowly
up
the
hill
.
Lower
down
was
a
nurse
girl
wheeling
a
perambulator
and
leading
a
second
child
by
the
hand
.
The
blue
reeks
of
smoke
from
the
cottages
gave
the
whole
widespread
landscape
an
air
of
settled
order
and
homely
comfort
.
Nowhere
in
the
blue
heaven
or
on
the
sunlit
earth
was
there
any
foreshadowing
of
a
catastrophe
.
The
harvesters
were
back
in
the
fields
once
more
and
the
golfers
,
in
pairs
and
fours
,
were
still
streaming
round
the
links
.
There
was
so
strange
a
turmoil
within
my
own
head
,
and
such
a
jangling
of
my
overstrung
nerves
,
that
the
indifference
of
those
people
was
amazing
.
257
"
Those
fellows
don
t
seem
to
feel
any
ill
effects
,
"
said
I
,
pointing
down
at
the
links
.

Have

No

Well

fellah

when

learn

once
fairly
out
