I
used
to
be
frightened
,
"
said
his
wife
.
"
But
the
nearer
I
get
to
it
,
the
easier
it
seems
.
Don
’
t
you
think
we
ought
to
pray
,
George
?
"
"
You
will
pray
,
dear
,
if
you
wish
,
"
the
big
man
answered
,
very
gently
.
"
We
all
have
our
own
ways
of
praying
.
Mine
is
a
complete
acquiescence
in
whatever
fate
may
send
me
—
a
cheerful
acquiescence
.
The
highest
religion
and
the
highest
science
seem
to
unite
on
that
.
"
"
I
cannot
truthfully
describe
my
mental
attitude
as
acquiescence
and
far
less
cheerful
acquiescence
,
"
grumbled
Summerlee
over
his
pipe
.
"
I
submit
because
I
have
to
.
I
confess
that
I
should
have
liked
another
year
of
life
to
finish
my
classification
of
the
chalk
fossils
.
"
"
Your
unfinished
work
is
a
small
thing
,
"
said
Challenger
pompously
,
"
when
weighed
against
the
fact
that
my
own
magnum
opus
,
’
The
Ladder
of
Life
,
’
is
still
in
the
first
stages
.
My
brain
,
my
reading
,
my
experience
—
in
fact
,
my
whole
unique
equipment
—
were
to
be
condensed
into
that
epoch
-
making
volume
.
And
yet
,
as
I
say
,
I
acquiesce
.
"
"
I
expect
we
’
ve
all
left
some
loose
ends
stickin
’
out
,
"
said
Lord
John
.
"
What
are
yours
,
young
fellah
?
"
"
I
was
working
at
a
book
of
verses
,
"
I
answered
.
"
Well
,
the
world
has
escaped
that
,
anyhow
,
"
said
Lord
John
.
"
There
’
s
always
compensation
somewhere
if
you
grope
around
.
"
"
What
about
you
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Well
,
it
just
so
happens
that
I
was
tidied
up
and
ready
.
I
’
d
promised
Merivale
to
go
to
Tibet
for
a
snow
leopard
in
the
spring
.
But
it
’
s
hard
on
you
,
Mrs
.
Challenger
,
when
you
have
just
built
up
this
pretty
home
.
