"
Impulsive
as
ever
,
"
I
said
.
"
Pretty
nearly
any
stroke
of
fate
can
be
made
to
look
like
a
funny
coincidence
if
you
try
hard
enough
and
wait
long
enough
.
"
We
drank
up
and
turned
to
go
.
Coker
glanced
out
of
the
window
.
Then
be
caught
my
arm
and
pointed
.
Two
triffids
had
swayed
round
the
corner
and
were
making
for
the
hedge
which
had
been
the
hiding
place
of
the
first
.
I
waited
until
they
paused
and
then
decapitated
both
of
them
We
left
by
the
window
which
was
out
of
range
of
any
triffid
cover
,
and
looked
about
us
carefully
as
we
approached
the
trucks
.
"
Another
coincidence
?
Or
were
they
coming
to
see
what
had
happened
to
their
pal
?
"
asked
Coker
.
With
only
two
more
stops
,
one
for
food
and
the
other
for
fuel
,
we
made
good
time
,
and
ran
into
Beaminster
about
half
-
past
four
in
the
afternoon
.
We
had
come
right
into
the
center
of
the
place
without
having
seen
a
sign
to
suggest
the
presence
of
the
Beadley
party
.
At
first
glimpse
the
town
was
as
void
of
life
as
any
other
we
had
seen
that
day
.
The
main
shopping
street
when
we
entered
it
was
bare
and
empty
save
for
a
couple
of
trucks
drawn
up
on
one
side
.
I
had
led
the
way
down
it
for
perhaps
twenty
yards
when
a
man
stepped
out
from
behind
one
of
the
trucks
and
leveled
a
rifle
.
He
fired
deliberately
over
my
head
and
then
lowered
his
aim
.
That
’
s
the
kind
of
warning
I
don
’
t
debate
about
.
I
pulled
up
.
The
man
was
large
and
fair
-
haired
.
He
handled
his
rifle
with
familiarity
.
Without
taking
it
out
of
the
aim
,
he
jerked
his
head
twice
sideways
.
I
accepted
that
as
a
sign
to
climb
down
.
When
I
had
done
so
,
I
displayed
my
empty
hands
.
Another
man
,
accompanied
by
a
girl
,
emerged
from
behind
the
stationary
truck
as
I
approached
it
.
Coker
’
s
voice
called
from
behind
me
:
"
Better
put
up
that
rifle
,
chum
.
You
’
re
all
in
the
open
.
"
The
fair
man
’
s
eyes
left
mine
to
search
for
Coker
.
I
could
have
jumped
him
then
if
I
’
d
wanted
to
,
but
I
said
:
"
He
’
s
right
.
Anyway
,
we
’
re
peaceful
.
"
