We
lay
back
in
two
superbly
comfortable
armchairs
.
On
the
low
table
between
us
stood
the
coffee
apparatus
and
two
glasses
.
Josella
s
was
the
small
one
with
the
cointreau
.
The
plutocratic
-
looking
balloon
with
the
puddle
of
unpriceable
brandy
was
mine
.
Josella
blew
out
a
feather
of
smoke
and
took
a
sip
of
her
drink
.
Savoring
the
flavor
,
she
said
:
712
"
I
wonder
whether
we
shall
ever
taste
fresh
oranges
again
?
Okay
,
shoot
.
"
713
"
Well
,
it
s
no
good
blinking
facts
.
We
had
better
clear
out
soon
.
If
not
tomorrow
,
then
the
day
after
.
You
can
begin
to
see
already
what
s
going
to
happen
here
.
At
present
there
s
still
water
in
the
tanks
.
Soon
there
won
t
be
.
The
whole
city
will
begin
to
stink
like
a
great
sewer
.
There
are
already
some
bodies
lying
about
every
day
there
will
be
more
.
"
I
noticed
her
shudder
.
I
had
for
the
moment
,
in
taking
the
general
view
,
forgotten
the
particular
application
it
would
have
for
her
.
I
hurried
on
:
"
That
may
mean
typhus
,
or
cholera
,
or
God
knows
what
.
It
s
important
to
get
away
before
anything
of
that
kind
starts
.

She
nodded
agreement
to
that
.
715
"
Then
the
next
question
seems
to
be
,
where
do
we
go
?
Have
you
any
ideas
?
"
I
asked
her
.
716
"
Well
I
suppose
,
roughly
,
somewhere
out
of
the
way
.
A
place
with
a
good
water
supply
we
can
be
sure
of
a
well
,
perhaps
.
And
I
should
think
it
would
be
best
to
be
as
high
up
as
we
reasonably
can
some
place
where
there
ll
be
a
nice
clean
wind
.
"
717
"
Yes
,
"
I
said
,
"
I
d
not
thought
of
the
clean
wind
part
,
but
you
re
right
.
A
hilltop
with
a
good
water
supply
that
s
not
so
easy
offhand
.
"
I
thought
a
moment
.
The
Lake
District
?
No
,
too
far
.
Wales
,
perhaps
?
Or
maybe
Exmoor
or
Dartmoor
or
right
down
in
Cornwall
?
Around
Land
s
End
we
d
have
the
prevailing
southwest
wind
coming
in
untainted
over
the
Atlantic
.
But
that
,
too
,
was
a
long
way
.
We
should
be
dependent
on
towns
when
it
became
safe
to
visit
them
again
.

"
What
about
the
Sussex
Downs
?
"
Josella
suggested
.
"
I
know
a
lovely
old
farmhouse
on
the
north
side
,
looking
right
across
toward
Pulborough
.
It
s
not
on
the
top
of
hills
,
but
it
s
well
up
the
side
.
There
s
a
wind
pump
for
water
,
and
I
think
they
make
their
own
electricity
.
It
s
all
been
converted
and
modernized
.
"
719
Desirable
residence
,
in
fact
.
But
it
s
a
hit
near
populous
places
.
Don
t
you
think
we
ought
to
get
farther
away
?
"
720
"
Well
,
I
was
wondering
.
How
long
is
it
going
to
be
before
it
ll
be
safe
to
go
into
the
towns
again
?
