A
few
miles
farther
on
I
ran
through
a
small
village
which
was
disposed
neatly
about
a
triangular
green
.
At
first
sight
it
was
as
charming
in
its
mixture
of
thatched
and
red
-
tiled
cottages
with
their
flowering
gardens
as
something
out
of
a
picture
book
.
But
I
did
not
look
closely
into
the
gardens
as
I
passed
;
too
many
of
them
showed
the
alien
shape
of
a
triffid
towering
incongruously
among
the
flowers
.
I
was
almost
clear
of
the
place
when
a
small
figure
bounded
out
of
one
of
the
last
garden
gates
and
came
running
up
the
road
toward
me
,
waving
both
arms
.
I
pulled
up
,
looked
around
for
triffids
in
a
way
that
was
becoming
instinctive
,
picked
up
my
gun
and
climbed
down
.
The
child
was
dressed
in
a
blue
cotton
frock
,
white
socks
,
and
sandals
.
She
looked
about
nine
or
ten
years
old
.
A
pretty
ttle
girl
—
I
could
see
that
,
even
though
her
dark
brown
curls
were
now
uncared
for
and
her
face
dirtied
with
smeared
tears
.
She
pulled
at
my
sleeve
.
"
Please
,
please
,
"
she
said
urgently
,
"
please
come
and
see
what
’
s
happened
to
Tommy
.
"
I
stood
staring
down
at
her
.
The
awful
loneliness
of
the
day
lifted
.
My
mind
seemed
to
break
out
of
the
case
I
had
made
for
it
.
I
wanted
to
pick
her
up
and
hold
her
close
to
me
.
I
could
feel
tears
behind
my
eyes
.
I
held
out
my
hand
to
her
,
and
she
took
it
.
Together
we
walked
back
to
the
gate
through
which
she
had
come
.
"
Tommy
’
s
there
,
"
she
said
,
pointing
.
A
little
boy
about
four
years
of
age
lay
on
the
diminutive
patch
of
lawn
between
the
flower
beds
.
It
was
quite
obvious
at
a
glance
why
he
was
there
.
"
The
thing
hit
him
,
"
she
said
.
"
It
hit
him
and
he
fell
down
.
And
it
wanted
to
hit
me
when
I
tried
to
help
him
.
Horrible
thing
!
"
I
looked
up
and
saw
the
top
of
a
triffid
rising
above
the
fence
that
bordered
the
garden
.
"
Put
your
bands
over
your
ears
.
I
’
m
going
to
make
a
bang
,
"
I
said
.
She
did
so
,
and
I
blasted
the
top
off
the
triffid
.
