As
it
was
impossible
to
take
her
on
with
us
,
we
saw
that
she
had
all
necessaries
of
life
and
promised
to
communicate
with
her
in
a
couple
of
days
at
the
latest
.
So
we
left
her
,
still
weeping
bitterly
over
her
vanished
stock
.
As
we
approached
the
Thames
the
block
in
the
streets
became
thicker
and
the
obstacles
more
bewildering
.
It
was
with
difficulty
that
we
made
our
way
across
London
Bridge
.
The
approaches
to
it
upon
the
Middlesex
side
were
choked
from
end
to
end
with
frozen
traffic
which
made
all
further
advance
in
that
direction
impossible
.
A
ship
was
blazing
brightly
alongside
one
of
the
wharves
near
the
bridge
,
and
the
air
was
full
of
drifting
smuts
and
of
a
heavy
acrid
smell
of
burning
.
There
was
a
cloud
of
dense
smoke
somewhere
near
the
Houses
of
Parliament
,
but
it
was
impossible
from
where
we
were
to
see
what
was
on
fire
.
"
I
don
’
t
know
how
it
strikes
you
,
"
Lord
John
remarked
as
he
brought
his
engine
to
a
standstill
,
"
but
it
seems
to
me
the
country
is
more
cheerful
than
the
town
.
Dead
London
is
gettin
’
on
my
nerves
.
I
’
m
for
a
cast
round
and
then
gettin
’
back
to
Rotherfield
.
"
"
I
confess
that
I
do
not
see
what
we
can
hope
for
here
,
"
said
Professor
Summerlee
.
"
At
the
same
time
,
"
said
Challenger
,
his
great
voice
booming
strangely
amid
the
silence
,
"
it
is
difficult
for
us
to
conceive
that
out
of
seven
millions
of
people
there
is
only
this
one
old
woman
who
by
some
peculiarity
of
constitution
or
some
accident
of
occupation
has
managed
to
survive
this
catastrophe
.
"
"
If
there
should
be
others
,
how
can
we
hope
to
find
them
,
George
?
"
asked
the
lady
.
"
And
yet
I
agree
with
you
that
we
cannot
go
back
until
we
have
tried
.
"
Getting
out
of
the
car
and
leaving
it
by
the
curb
,
we
walked
with
some
difficulty
along
the
crowded
pavement
of
King
William
Street
and
entered
the
open
door
of
a
large
insurance
office
.
It
was
a
corner
house
,
and
we
chose
it
as
commanding
a
view
in
every
direction
.
Ascending
the
stair
,
we
passed
through
what
I
suppose
to
have
been
the
board
-
room
,
for
eight
elderly
men
were
seated
round
a
long
table
in
the
centre
of
it
.
The
high
window
was
open
and
we
all
stepped
out
upon
the
balcony
.
From
it
we
could
see
the
crowded
city
streets
radiating
in
every
direction
,
while
below
us
the
road
was
black
from
side
to
side
with
the
tops
of
the
motionless
taxis
.
All
,
or
nearly
all
,
had
their
heads
pointed
outwards
,
showing
how
the
terrified
men
of
the
city
had
at
the
last
moment
made
a
vain
endeavor
to
rejoin
their
families
in
the
suburbs
or
the
country
.
Here
and
there
amid
the
humbler
cabs
towered
the
great
brass
-
spangled
motor
-
car
of
some
wealthy
magnate
,
wedged
hopelessly
among
the
dammed
stream
of
arrested
traffic
.
Just
beneath
us
there
was
such
a
one
of
great
size
and
luxurious
appearance
,
with
its
owner
,
a
fat
old
man
,
leaning
out
,
half
his
gross
body
through
the
window
,
and
his
podgy
hand
,
gleaming
with
diamonds
,
outstretched
as
he
urged
his
chauffeur
to
make
a
last
effort
to
break
through
the
press
.
A
dozen
motor
-
buses
towered
up
like
islands
in
this
flood
,
the
passengers
who
crowded
the
roofs
lying
all
huddled
together
and
across
each
others
’
laps
like
a
child
’
s
toys
in
a
nursery
.
On
a
broad
lamp
pedestal
in
the
centre
of
the
roadway
,
a
burly
policeman
was
standing
,
leaning
his
back
against
the
post
in
so
natural
an
attitude
that
it
was
hard
to
realize
that
he
was
not
alive
,
while
at
his
feet
there
lay
a
ragged
newsboy
with
his
bundle
of
papers
on
the
ground
beside
him
.
A
paper
-
cart
had
got
blocked
in
the
crowd
,
and
we
could
read
in
large
letters
,
black
upon
yellow
,
"
Scene
at
Lord
’
s
.
County
Match
Interrupted
.
"
This
must
have
been
the
earliest
edition
,
for
there
were
other
placards
bearing
the
legend
,
"
Is
It
the
End
?
Great
Scientist
’
s
Warning
.
"
And
another
,
"
Is
Challenger
Justified
?
Ominous
Rumours
.
