Don
’
t
you
worry
,
"
Coker
assured
her
.
"
It
’
s
marked
on
all
the
best
American
maps
.
"
It
was
sometime
in
the
early
hours
of
the
following
morning
that
I
knew
I
was
not
going
to
Tynsham
with
the
rest
.
Later
,
perhaps
,
I
would
,
but
not
yet
.
.
.
My
first
inclination
had
been
to
accompany
them
,
if
only
for
the
purpose
of
choking
the
truth
out
of
Miss
Durrant
regarding
the
Beadley
party
’
s
destination
.
But
then
I
had
to
make
again
the
disturbing
admission
that
I
did
not
know
that
Josella
was
with
them
—
and
,
indeed
,
all
the
information
I
bad
been
able
to
collect
so
far
suggested
that
she
was
not
.
She
bad
pretty
certainly
not
passed
through
Tynsham
.
But
if
she
had
not
gone
in
search
of
them
,
then
where
had
she
gone
?
It
was
scarcely
likely
that
there
had
been
a
second
direction
in
the
University
Building
,
one
that
I
had
missed
.
And
then
,
as
if
it
had
been
a
flash
of
light
,
I
recalled
the
discussion
we
had
had
in
our
commandeered
apartment
.
I
could
see
her
sitting
there
in
her
blue
party
frock
,
with
the
light
of
the
candles
catching
the
diamonds
as
we
talked
.
"
What
about
the
Sussex
Downs
?
I
know
a
lovely
old
farmhouse
on
the
north
side
.
.
.
"
And
then
I
knew
what
I
must
do
.
.
.
I
told
Coker
about
it
in
the
morning
.
He
was
sympathetic
,
but
obviously
anxious
not
to
raise
my
hopes
too
much
.
"
Okay
.
You
do
as
you
think
best
,
"
he
agreed
.
"
I
hope
—
Well
,
anyway
,
you
’
ll
know
where
we
are
,
and
you
can
both
come
on
to
Tynsham
and
help
to
put
that
woman
Through
the
hoop
until
she
sees
sense
.
"
That
morning
the
weather
broke
.
The
rain
was
falling
in
sheets
as
I
climbed
once
more
into
the
familiar
truck
,
yet
I
was
feeling
elated
and
hopeful
;
it
could
have
rained
ten
times
harder
without
depressing
inc
or
altering
my
intention
.
Coker
came
out
to
see
me
off
.
I
knew
why
he
made
a
point
of
it
,
for
I
was
aware
without
his
telling
me
that
the
memory
of
his
first
rash
plan
and
its
consequences
troubled
him
.
He
stood
beside
the
cab
,
with
his
hair
flattened
and
the
water
trickling
down
his
neck
,
and
held
up
his
band
.
"
Take
it
easy
,
Bill
.
There
aren
’
t
any
ambulances
these
days
,
and
she
’
ll
prefer
you
to
arrive
all
in
one
piece
.
Good
luck
—
and
my
apologies
for
everything
to
the
lady
when
you
find
her
.
"
The
word
was
"
when
,
"
but
the
tone
was
"
if
