They
had
appeared
out
of
nowhere
in
their
thousands
,
when
the
coal
had
called
for
them
.
Perhaps
they
were
only
weird
fauna
of
the
coal
-
seams
.
Creatures
of
another
reality
,
they
were
elementals
,
serving
the
elements
of
coal
,
as
the
metal
-
workers
were
elementals
,
serving
the
element
of
iron
.
Men
not
men
,
but
animas
of
coal
and
iron
and
clay
.
Fauna
of
the
elements
,
carbon
,
iron
,
silicon
:
elementals
.
They
had
perhaps
some
of
the
weird
,
inhuman
beauty
of
minerals
,
the
lustre
of
coal
,
the
weight
and
blueness
and
resistance
of
iron
,
the
transparency
of
glass
.
Elemental
creatures
,
weird
and
distorted
,
of
the
mineral
world
!
They
belonged
to
the
coal
,
the
iron
,
the
clay
,
as
fish
belong
to
the
sea
and
worms
to
dead
wood
.
The
anima
of
mineral
disintegration
!
Connie
was
glad
to
be
home
,
to
bury
her
head
in
the
sand
.
She
was
glad
even
to
babble
to
Clifford
.
For
her
fear
of
the
mining
and
iron
Midlands
affected
her
with
a
queer
feeling
that
went
all
over
her
,
like
influenza
.
’
Of
course
I
had
to
have
tea
in
Miss
Bentley
’
s
shop
,
’
she
said
.
’
Really
!
Winter
would
have
given
you
tea
.
’
’
Oh
yes
,
but
I
daren
’
t
disappoint
Miss
Bentley
.
’
Miss
Bentley
was
a
shallow
old
maid
with
a
rather
large
nose
and
romantic
disposition
who
served
tea
with
a
careful
intensity
worthy
of
a
sacrament
.
’
Did
she
ask
after
me
?
’
said
Clifford
.
’
Of
course
!
-
-
may
I
ask
your
Ladyship
how
Sir
Clifford
is
!
-
-
I
believe
she
ranks
you
even
higher
than
Nurse
Cavell
!
’
’
And
I
suppose
you
said
I
was
blooming
.
’
’
Yes
!
And
she
looked
as
rapt
as
if
I
had
said
the
heavens
had
opened
to
you
.
I
said
if
she
ever
came
to
Tevershall
she
was
to
come
to
see
you
.
