I
don
t
know
what
they
think
they
re
doing
probably
got
some
good
food
dumps
and
are
scared
of
anyone
else
wanting
some
of
it
.
Anyway
,
there
s
no
sense
in
taking
risks
,
so
I
just
let
em
stew
.
"
Still
,
quite
a
lot
did
come
along
.
In
a
year
we
d
gone
up
to
three
hundred
or
so
not
all
sighted
,
of
course
.
"
It
wasn
t
until
about
a
month
ago
that
I
came
across
Coker
and
his
lot
and
one
of
the
first
things
he
asked
,
by
the
way
,
was
whether
you
d
shown
up
.
They
had
a
bad
time
,
particularly
at
first
.
"
A
few
days
after
he
got
back
to
Tynsham
,
a
couple
of
women
came
along
from
London
,
and
brought
the
plague
with
them
.
Coker
quarantined
them
at
the
first
symptoms
,
but
it
was
too
late
.
He
decided
on
a
quick
move
.
Miss
Durrant
wouldn
t
budge
.
She
decided
to
stay
and
look
after
the
sick
,
and
follow
later
if
she
could
.
But
she
never
did
.

They
took
the
infection
with
them
.
There
were
three
more
hurried
moves
before
they
succeeded
in
shaking
free
of
it
.
By
then
they
had
gone
as
far
West
as
Devonshire
.
and
they
were
all
right
for
a
bit
there
.
But
soon
they
began
to
find
the
same
difficulties
as
we
had
and
you
have
.
Coker
stuck
it
out
there
for
nearly
three
years
,
and
then
reasoned
along
much
the
same
lines
as
we
did
.
Only
he
didn
t
think
of
an
island
.
Instead
he
decided
on
a
river
boundary
and
a
fence
to
cut
off
the
toe
of
Cornwall
.
When
they
got
there
they
spent
the
first
months
building
their
barrier
,
then
they
went
for
the
triffids
inside
,
much
as
we
had
on
the
island
.
They
had
more
difficult
country
to
work
with
,
though
,
and
they
never
did
succeed
in
clearing
them
out
completely
.
The
fence
was
fairly
successful
to
begin
with
,
but
they
never
could
depend
on
it
as
we
could
trust
to
the
sea
,
and
too
much
of
their
man
power
had
to
be
wasted
on
patrols
.
"
Coker
thinks
they
might
have
made
out
all
right
once
the
children
had
grown
old
enough
to
work
,
but
it
would
have
been
tough
going
all
the
time
.
When
I
did
find
them
,
they
hadn
t
much
hesitation
about
coming
along
.
They
set
about
loading
up
their
fishing
boats
right
away
,
and
they
were
all
on
the
island
in
a
couple
of
weeks
.
When
Coker
found
you
weren
t
with
us
,
he
suggested
you
might
still
be
somewhere
in
these
parts
.
"
"
You
can
tell
him
that
wipes
out
any
bard
feelings
about
him
,
"
said
Josella

"
He
s
going
to
be
a
very
useful
man
,
"
Ivan
said
.
"
And
from
what
he
tells
us
,
you
could
be
too
,
"
he
added
,
looking
at
me
.
"
You
re
a
biochemist
,
aren
t
you
?
"
"
A
biologist
,
"
I
said
.
"
Well
,
you
can
hold
onto
your
fine
distinctions
.
The
point
is
,
Michael
has
tried
to
get
some
research
going
into
a
method
of
knocking
off
triffids
scientifically
.
That
has
to
be
found
if
we
are
going
to
get
anywhere
at
all
.
But
the
trouble
so
far
is
that
the
only
people
we
have
to
work
on
it
are
a
few
who
have
forgotten
most
of
the
biology
they
learned
at
school
.
What
do
you
think
like
to
turn
professor
?
It
d
be
a
worth
-
while
job
.
