Oh
yes
.
Well
,
it
’
s
simply
a
matter
of
slipping
into
a
shop
,
adopting
a
few
trifles
,
and
slipping
out
again
.
You
’
ll
not
meet
any
triffids
in
central
London
—
at
least
,
not
yet
.
"
"
You
talk
so
lightly
about
taking
things
,
"
she
said
.
"
I
don
’
t
feel
quite
so
lightly
about
it
,
"
I
admitted
.
"
But
I
’
m
not
sure
that
that
’
s
virtue
—
it
’
s
more
likely
merely
habit
.
And
an
obstinate
refusal
to
face
facts
isn
’
t
going
to
bring
anything
back
,
or
help
us
at
all
.
I
think
we
’
ll
have
to
try
to
see
ourselves
not
as
the
robbers
of
all
this
but
more
as
—
well
,
the
unwilling
heirs
to
it
.
"
‘
Yes
.
I
suppose
it
is
—
something
like
that
,
"
she
agreed
in
a
qualified
way
.
She
was
silent
for
a
time
.
When
she
spoke
again
she
reverted
to
the
earlier
question
.
"
And
after
the
clothes
?
"
she
asked
.
"
Operation
Number
Three
,
"
I
told
her
,
"
is
,
quite
definitely
,
dinner
.
"
There
was
,
as
I
had
expected
,
no
great
difficulty
about
the
apartment
.
We
left
the
car
locked
up
in
the
middle
of
the
road
in
front
of
an
opulent
-
looking
block
and
climbed
to
the
third
story
.
Quite
why
we
chose
the
third
I
can
’
t
say
,
except
that
it
seemed
a
bit
more
out
of
the
way
.
The
process
of
selection
was
simple
.
We
knocked
or
we
rang
,
and
if
anyone
answered
,
we
passed
on
.
After
we
had
passed
on
three
times
we
found
a
door
where
there
was
no
response
.
The
socket
of
the
rim
lock
tore
off
to
one
good
heft
of
the
shoulder
,
and
we
were
in
.
I
myself
had
not
been
one
of
those
addicted
to
living
in
an
apartment
with
a
rent
of
some
two
thousand
pounds
a
year
,
but
I
found
that
there
were
decidedly
things
to
be
said
in
favor
of
it
,
The
interior
decorators
had
been
,
I
guessed
,
elegant
young
men
with
just
that
ingenious
gift
for
combining
taste
with
advanced
topicality
which
is
so
expensive
.
Consciousness
of
fashion
was
the
mainspring
of
the
place
.
Here
and
there
were
certain
unmistakable
derniers
cris
,
some
of
them
undoubtedly
destined
—
had
the
world
pursued
its
expected
course
—
to
become
the
rage
of
tomorrow
;
others
,
I
would
say
,
a
dead
loss
from
their
very
inception
.
The
over
-
all
effect
was
Trade
Fair
in
its
neglect
of
human
foibles
—
a
book
left
a
few
inches
out
of
place
or
with
the
wrong
color
on
its
jacket
would
ruin
the
whole
carefully
considered
balance
and
tone
—
so
,
too
,
would
the
person
thoughtless
enough
to
wear
the
wrong
clothes
when
sitting
upon
the
wrong
luxurious
chair
or
sofa
.
I
turned
to
Josella
,
who
was
staring
wide
-
eyed
at
it
all
.
