Every day the wealthier nations are pulling down one or another in their capitals and their great towns: they do not know why they do it; neither do I. It ought to be enough, surely, to drive the great broad ways which commerce needs and which are the life-channels of a modern city, without destroying all history and all the humanity in between: the islands of the past.”

‘You’ll have to climb through the window, too,’ he said. Just at that moment, they heard the sound of a car. It was approaching the house at great speed and its lights lit up the house as it got nearer. People got out and they could hear voices.
‘It’s the police!’ Barnes said. ‘It’s a trap. I knew it!’
‘Don’t panic!’ Lacey told him. ‘Now listen to me. Go back to the car and wait for me there. I’ll join you as soon as I can. Off you go - and keep well in the shadows.’- CG Pre BEd - 2024
