Then
we
shall
say
that
it
passed
just
after
eight
o
’
clock
.
For
seventeen
hours
the
world
has
been
soaked
in
the
poisonous
ether
.
For
that
length
of
time
the
Great
Gardener
has
sterilized
the
human
mold
which
had
grown
over
the
surface
of
His
fruit
.
Is
it
possible
that
the
work
is
incompletely
done
—
that
others
may
have
survived
besides
ourselves
?
"
"
That
’
s
what
I
was
wonderin
’
,
"
said
Lord
John
.
"
Why
should
we
be
the
only
pebbles
on
the
beach
?
"
"
It
is
absurd
to
suppose
that
anyone
besides
ourselves
can
possibly
have
survived
,
"
said
Summerlee
with
conviction
.
"
Consider
that
the
poison
was
so
virulent
that
even
a
man
who
is
as
strong
as
an
ox
and
has
not
a
nerve
in
his
body
,
like
Malone
here
,
could
hardly
get
up
the
stairs
before
he
fell
unconscious
.
Is
it
likely
that
anyone
could
stand
seventeen
minutes
of
it
,
far
less
hours
?
"
"
Unless
someone
saw
it
coming
and
made
preparation
,
same
as
old
friend
Challenger
did
.
"
"
That
,
I
think
,
is
hardly
probable
,
"
said
Challenger
,
projecting
his
beard
and
sinking
his
eyelids
.
"
The
combination
of
observation
,
inference
,
and
anticipatory
imagination
which
enabled
me
to
foresee
the
danger
is
what
one
can
hardly
expect
twice
in
the
same
generation
.
"
"
Then
your
conclusion
is
that
everyone
is
certainly
dead
?
"
"
There
can
be
little
doubt
of
that
.
We
have
to
remember
,
however
,
that
the
poison
worked
from
below
upwards
and
would
possibly
be
less
virulent
in
the
higher
strata
of
the
atmosphere
.
It
is
strange
,
indeed
,
that
it
should
be
so
;
but
it
presents
one
of
those
features
which
will
afford
us
in
the
future
a
fascinating
field
for
study
.
One
could
imagine
,
therefore
,
that
if
one
had
to
search
for
survivors
one
would
turn
one
’
s
eyes
with
best
hopes
of
success
to
some
Tibetan
village
or
some
Alpine
farm
,
many
thousands
of
feet
above
the
sea
level
.
"
"
Well
,
considerin
’
that
there
are
no
railroads
and
no
steamers
you
might
as
well
talk
about
survivors
in
the
moon
,
"
said
Lord
John
.
"
But
what
I
’
m
askin
’
myself
is
whether
it
’
s
really
over
or
whether
it
’
s
only
half
-
time
.
"
Summerlee
craned
his
neck
to
look
round
the
horizon
.
"
It
seems
clear
and
fine
,
"
said
he
in
a
very
dubious
voice
;
"
but
so
it
did
yesterday
.
