"
I
'll
sit
here
,
"
said
my
brother
,
"
if
I
may
"
;
and
he
got
upon
the
empty
front
seat
.
The
lady
looked
over
her
shoulder
.
"
Give
me
the
reins
,
"
she
said
,
and
laid
the
whip
along
the
pony
's
side
.
In
another
moment
a
bend
in
the
road
hid
the
three
men
from
my
brother
's
eyes
.
So
,
quite
unexpectedly
,
my
brother
found
himself
,
panting
,
with
a
cut
mouth
,
a
bruised
jaw
,
and
bloodstained
knuckles
,
driving
along
an
unknown
lane
with
these
two
women
.
He
learned
they
were
the
wife
and
the
younger
sister
of
a
surgeon
living
at
Stanmore
,
who
had
come
in
the
small
hours
from
a
dangerous
case
at
Pinner
,
and
heard
at
some
railway
station
on
his
way
of
the
Martian
advance
.
He
had
hurried
home
,
roused
the
women
--
their
servant
had
left
them
two
days
before
--
packed
some
provisions
,
put
his
revolver
under
the
seat
--
luckily
for
my
brother
--
and
told
them
to
drive
on
to
Edgware
,
with
the
idea
of
getting
a
train
there
.
He
stopped
behind
to
tell
the
neighbours
.
He
would
overtake
them
,
he
said
,
at
about
half
past
four
in
the
morning
,
and
now
it
was
nearly
nine
and
they
had
seen
nothing
of
him
.
They
could
not
stop
in
Edgware
because
of
the
growing
traffic
through
the
place
,
and
so
they
had
come
into
this
side
lane
.
That
was
the
story
they
told
my
brother
in
fragments
when
presently
they
stopped
again
,
nearer
to
New
Barnet
.
He
promised
to
stay
with
them
,
at
least
until
they
could
determine
what
to
do
,
or
until
the
missing
man
arrived
,
and
professed
to
be
an
expert
shot
with
the
revolver
--
a
weapon
strange
to
him
--
in
order
to
give
them
confidence
.
They
made
a
sort
of
encampment
by
the
wayside
,
and
the
pony
became
happy
in
the
hedge
.
He
told
them
of
his
own
escape
out
of
London
,
and
all
that
he
knew
of
these
Martians
and
their
ways
.
The
sun
crept
higher
in
the
sky
,
and
after
a
time
their
talk
died
out
and
gave
place
to
an
uneasy
state
of
anticipation
.
Several
wayfarers
came
along
the
lane
,
and
of
these
my
brother
gathered
such
news
as
he
could
.
Every
broken
answer
he
had
deepened
his
impression
of
the
great
disaster
that
had
come
on
humanity
,
deepened
his
persuasion
of
the
immediate
necessity
for
prosecuting
this
flight
.
He
urged
the
matter
upon
them
.
"
We
have
money
,
"
said
the
slender
woman
,
and
hesitated
.
Her
eyes
met
my
brother
's
,
and
her
hesitation
ended
.
