CHAPTER ONE UNDER FOOT
In the first book I have wandered so much
from my own adventures to tell of the
experiences of my brother that all through the
last two chapters I and the curate have been
lurking in the empty house at Halliford
whither we fled to escape the Black Smoke.
There I will resume. We stopped there all
Sunday night and all the next day--the day of
the panic--in a little island of daylight, cut off
by the Black Smoke from the rest of the world.
We could do nothing but wait in aching
inactivity during those two weary days.
My mind was occupied by anxiety for my
wife. I figured her at Leatherhead, terrified,
in danger, mourning me already as a dead
man. I paced the rooms and cried aloud
when I thought of how I was cut off from her,
of all that might happen to her in my absence.
My cousin I knew was brave enough for any
emergency, but he was not the sort of man to
realise danger quickly, to rise promptly. What
was needed now was not bravery, but
circumspection. My only consolation was to
believe that the Martians were moving
London-ward and away from her. Such vague
anxieties keep the mind sensitive and painful.
I grew very weary and irritable with the
curate's perpetual ejaculations; I tired of the
sight of his selfish despair. After some
ineffectual remonstrance I kept away from

THE WAR OF THE WORLDS BOOK 2
him, staying in a room--evidently a children's
schoolroom--containing globes, forms, and
copybooks. When he followed me thither, I
went to a box room at the top of the house
and, in order to be alone with my aching
miseries, locked myself in.
We were hopelessly hemmed in by the Black
Smoke all that day and the morning of the
next. There were signs of people in the next
house on Sunday evening--a face at a window
and moving lights, and later the slamming of
a door. But I do not know who these people
were, nor what became of them. We saw
nothing of them next day. The Black Smoke
drifted slowly riverward all through Monday
morning, creeping nearer and nearer to us,
driving at last along the roadway outside the
house that hid us.
A Martian came across the fields about
midday, laying the stuff with a jet of
superheated steam that hissed against the
walls, smashed all the windows it touched,
and scalded the curate's hand as he fled out of
the front room. When at last we crept across
the sodden rooms and looked out again, the
country northward was as though a black
snowstorm had passed over it. Looking
towards the river, we were astonished to see
an unaccountable redness mingling with
the black of the scorched meadows.
For a time we did not see how this change
affected our position, save that we were
UNDER FOOT
relieved of our fear of the Black Smoke. But
later I perceived that we were no longer
hemmed in, that now we might get away. So
soon as I realised that the way of escape was
open, my dream of action returned. But the
curate was lethargic, unreasonable.
"We are safe here," he repeated; "safe here."
I resolved to leave him--would that I had!
Wiser now for the artilleryman's teaching, I
sought out food and drink. I had found oil and
rags for my burns, and I also took a hat and a
flannel shirt that I found in one of the
bedrooms. When it was clear to him that I
meant to go alone--had reconciled myself to
going alone--he suddenly roused himself to
come. And all being quiet throughout the
afternoon, we started about five o'clock, as I
should Mudge, along the blackened road to
Sunbury.
In Sunbury, and at intervals along the road,
were dead bodies lying in contorted attitudes,
horses as well as men, overturned carts and
luggage, all covered thickly with black dust.
That pall of cindery powder made me think
of what I had read of the destruction of
Pompeii. We got to Hampton Court without
misadventure, our minds full of strange and
unfamiliar appearances, and at Hampton
Court our eyes were relieved to find a patch of
green that had escaped the suffocating drift.
We went through Bushey Park, with its deer
going to and fro under the chestnuts, and
