Josella
frowned
down
on
a
group
of
four
triffids
ambling
across
a
field
below
us
.
"
If
I
were
a
child
now
,
"
she
said
reflectively
,
"
I
think
I
should
want
a
reason
for
what
happened
.
Unless
I
was
given
it
—
that
is
,
if
I
were
allowed
to
think
that
I
had
been
horn
into
a
world
which
had
been
quite
pointlessly
destroyed
—
I
should
find
living
quite
pointless
too
.
That
does
make
it
awfully
difficult
,
because
it
seems
to
be
just
what
has
happened
.
She
paused
,
pondering
,
then
she
added
:
"
Do
you
think
we
could
—
do
you
think
we
should
be
justified
in
starting
a
myth
to
help
them
?
A
story
of
a
world
that
was
wonderfully
clever
,
but
so
wicked
that
it
had
to
be
destroyed
or
destroyed
itself
by
accident
?
Something
like
the
Rood
,
again
?
That
wouldn
’
t
crush
them
with
inferiority
—
it
could
give
the
incentive
to
build
,
and
this
time
to
build
something
better
.
"
"
Yes
I
said
,
considering
it
.
"
Yes
.
It
’
s
often
a
good
idea
to
tell
children
the
truth
.
Kind
of
makes
things
easier
for
them
later
ori
—
only
why
pretend
it
’
s
a
myth
?
"
Josella
demurred
at
that
.
"
How
do
you
mean
?
The
triffids
were
—
well
,
they
were
somebody
’
s
fault
,
or
mistake
,
I
admit
.
But
the
rest
?
"
"
I
don
’
t
think
we
can
blame
anyone
too
much
for
the
triffids
.
The
extracts
they
give
were
very
valuable
in
the
circumstances
.
Nobody
can
ever
see
what
a
major
discovery
is
going
to
lead
to
—
whether
it
is
a
new
kind
of
engine
or
a
triffid
—
and
we
coped
with
them
all
right
in
normal
conditions
.
We
benefited
quite
a
lot
from
them
,
as
long
as
the
conditions
were
to
their
disadvantage
.
"
"
Well
,
it
wasn
’
t
our
fault
the
conditions
changed
.
It
was
—
just
one
of
those
things
.
Like
earthquakes
or
hurricanes
—
what
an
insurance
company
would
call
an
act
of
God
.
Maybe
that
’
s
just
what
it
was
—
a
judgment
.
Certainly
we
never
brought
that
comet
.
