I could still die at any moment

Just then, we felt we couldn't swim any longer

He looked at us without any interest

They gave us wonderful sea food and we were free to visit any place we liked on the ship.

The Nautilus did not seem to have any particular direction

'I never speak about cats! Our family hates cats! I don't want to hear any more about them.'

I haven't got any chocolates.' But then she saw a box of chocolates near her feet.

'I can't do any more,' she thought

'I don't see any wine,' she answered.

'There isn't any,' said the March Hare.

Nobody could get any help to us, and the enemy soldiers were so near that we could hear them talking

'He won't be any trouble, Mr Tribble,' I said.

There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension

"Resolved: that the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend, and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes."

I now reiterate these sentiments; and, in doing so, I only press upon the public attention the most conclusive evidence of which the case is susceptible that the property, peace, and security of no section are to be in any wise endangered by the now incoming administration

The clause I now read is as plainly written in the Constitution as any other of its provisions:

"No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in consequence of any law or regulation therein be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due."

All members of Congress swear their support to the whole Constitution - to this provision as much as to any other

And should anyone in any case be content that his oath shall go un kept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to HOW it shall be kept?

Again, in any law upon this subject, ought not all the safeguards of liberty known in civilized and humane jurisprudence to be introduced, so that a free man be not, in any case, surrendered as a slave? And might it not be well at the same time to provide by law for the enforcement of that clause in the Constitution which guarantees that "the citizen of each State shall be entitled to all privileged and immunities of citizens in the several States?"

I take the official oath today with no mental reservations, and with no purpose to construe the Constitution or laws by any hypercritical rules

And while I do not choose now to specify particular acts of Congress as proper to be enforced, I do suggest that it will be much safer for all, both in official and private stations, to conform to and abide by all those acts which stand un repealed, than to violate any of them, trusting to find impunity in having them held to be unconstitutional.

It follows from these views that no State upon its own mere motion can lawfully get out of the Union; that Resolves and Ordinances to that effect are legally void; and that acts of violence, within any State or States, against the authority of the United States, are insurrectionary or revolutionary, according to circumstances.

Where hostility to the United States, in any interior locality, shall be so great and universal as to prevent competent resident citizens from holding the Federal offices, there will be no attempt to force obnoxious strangers among the people for that object.

That there are persons in one section or another who seek to destroy the Union at all events, and are glad of any pretext to do it, I will neither affirm nor deny; but if there be such, I need address no word to them

Before entering upon so grave a matter as the destruction of our national fabric, with all its benefits, its memories, and its hopes, would it not be wise to ascertain precisely why we do it? Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence? Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from - will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?

Is it true, then, that any right, plainly written in the Constitution, has been denied? I think not

If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written Constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution - certainly would if such a right were a vital one

No foresight can anticipate, nor any document of reasonable length contain, express provisions for all possible questions

For instance, why may not any portion of a new confederacy a year or two hence arbitrarily secede again, precisely as portions of the present Union now claim to secede from it? All who cherish disunion sentiments are now being educated to the exact temper of doing this."

I do not forget the position, assumed by some, that Constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court; nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding, in any case, upon the parties to a suit, as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the government

And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice.

Nor is there in this view any assault upon the court or the judges

The fugitive-slave clause of the Constitution, and the law for the suppression of the foreign slave trade, are each as well enforced, perhaps, as any law can ever be in a community where the moral sense of the people imperfectly supports the law itself

Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world? In our present differences is either party without faith of being in the right? If the Almighty Ruler of Nations, with his eternal truth and justice, be on your side of the North, or on yours of the South, that truth and that justice will surely prevail, by the judgment of this great tribunal, the American people.

While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years.

If there be an object to HURRY any of you in hot haste to a step which you would never take DELIBERATELY, that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrated by it.

It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged

He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope - fervently do we pray - that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away

I don't claim any constitutionality for a rebellion successful or otherwise, so long as that rebellion means in the ordinary sense of the term, what it does mean, namely, wresting justice by violent means

I ask further, is it unconstitutional for me to say to the British Government "I refuse to serve you"? Is it unconstitutional for our worthy Chairman to return with every respect all the titles that he has ever held from the Government? Is it unconstitutional for any parent to withdraw his children from a Government or aided school? Is it unconstitutional for a lawyer to say "I shall no longer support the arm of the law so long as that arm of law is used not to raise me but to debase me"? Is it unconstitutional for a civil servant or for a judge to say, "I refuse to serve a Government which does not wish to respect the wishes of the whole people"?

I ask, is it unconstitutional for a policeman or for a soldier to tender his resignation when he knows that he is called to serve a Government which traduces his own countrymen? Is it unconstitutional for me to go to the agriculturist and say to him "it's not wise for you to pay any taxes, if these taxes are used by the Government not to raise you but to weaken you?" I hold and I venture to submit, that there is nothing unconstitutional in it

I'm not anti-English; I'm not anti-British; I'm not anti any Government; but I am anti-untruth, anti-humbug and anti-un justice

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation

'You asked Mr Sampson several times if he had any news about Meltham

And her father said, 'I don't think she had any enemies

She told the deputy that she did not have any money, but asked him to keep her bed because she wanted to return with the money

Schwartz did not want any trouble so he crossed to the other side of the street

He visited her around 7.30-7.45 on the evening of Thursday, November 8th to tell her he had no work and could not give her any money

There were lots of suspects at the time, but the police did not have any real evidence against them

'Because I haven't any money,' he lied.

If you ever find this man, I want you to help him in any way you can.

Life was hard for him, but he never forgot the promise he had made his father: that he would find Thenardier, the man who had saved his father's life, and help him in any way he could.

But my eldest daughter will tell you that my wife is sick and none of us have had any food for four days

You aren't living in the same room any more?'

'Are you crazy? You need money to go to England, and I haven't got any

Soldiers now occupied the top of the barricade, but were unable to advance any further because the defenders fought so fiercely

It's no use trying to move me, but I'll tell you how you can treat my wound better than any doctor

Now I don't feel any pain,'

But now we're both going to die, it doesn't matter, does it? I can't be jealous any more

For the sake of Cosette's happiness, he would have to try and save the life of the man she loved - the man he hated more than any other in the world.

The soldiers might discover the grille by the barricade at any moment, and come down in search of him.

He did it without any thought of a reward

'You mustn't call me "father" any more,' he told her

'You don't need a father any more

Valjean realized what was happening; Marius was telling the servants not to make him welcome any more

He persuaded Cosette, therefore, not to use any of the money her guardian had given her, and to live on the money that he had started to earn as a lawyer

I do not even know where this is because the fog is so thick that I can only see for a few metres in any direction.

"Oh, and just to let you know, there are no bullets in any of our guns." Hastings starts to shout, but we do not listen

A nice tea to calm you down; then we can start again and see if there are any other details."

He does not feel any sympathy for her

No, he cannot feel any sympathy for her, but maybe now she can find some rest

He looks like any other foreign tourist

She does not need to hear any of your horrible stories or strange ideas."

"Court reporter" sounds good; it sounds important, and that is exactly how he describes it to any girl that asks

Do you have any proof? No

A large brave dog to bark and growl at any intruders

He wonders if there are still any people there, but he thinks there are not.

"Now, son, I told you that any man can listen, didn't I?" it says

any information call..." and then the signal fails, and there is only the sound of the old classic engine and the silence of the desert.

any information call..."

He did not do any of that

"Does Mr Fletcher have any good friends here? Or more importantly, enemies?"

The boy looks bored already, and he is not looking at the gun bags with interest any more.

"Don't use any energy units for me - I'm not bothered," said Sala.

At last, she knew she couldn't put off her decision any longer, and when she'd finished her studies on the day after the pod experience, she invited Cham to her apartment.

If this was happening at the meat laboratory, it would soon be happening everywhere, and he wouldn't get any work at all.

"We can't spread this news any further

It won't take long, and you're free to ask any questions

"I'm sorry, but you can't come any further with us

Sala half-wanted to rush home to tell Gran and Mom what had happened, but she didn't want to lose any of her remaining time with Cham

"I don't want you to take any risks," said Gran.

She didn't want any more warnings, any more threats

It's not doing me any harm at all."

'You never have any drawings to show me

You haven't any experience and you're too shy

I shan't want to make any changes.'

'Oh, Frith,' I said awkwardly, 'I could not find any matches

I felt that Rebecca would come back into the room at any moment

'Did you go into any of the rooms? If you wish to see them, please tell me

'If you want to see the rooms in the west wing, I can show them to you at any time.'

'Have you got any string?' I asked the man

'Don't be angry with me any more,' I said.

I knew he hated any kind of trouble with the servants.

'What do you know about any gossip down here?' he said

I was too worried to eat any lunch

The sun was shining today and the cottage did not look frightening any more

It was not lived in any more

'That is why Mr de Winter doesn't use these rooms any more

I made sketches of some of the costumes, but I did not like any of them

No one had any idea about..

I could not hide in my bedroom any longer

I was suddenly very angry and not afraid of Mrs Danvers any more

What's the use of this, Mrs Danvers? I don't want to hear any more.'

I would not have to think about Rebecca any more...

'When you see Mr de Winter, Madam, please tell him there will be a hot meal ready for the men at any time.'

I'm not a child any more.'

"I can't stand any more." Rebecca looked at me and smiled.

I was no longer afraid of Rebecca; I did not hate her any more

When Mrs de Winter wanted any change in the menu, she spoke to me herself.'

Mrs Danvers did not frighten me any more

'There won't be any trouble at the inquest

'Mrs Danvers,' Colonel Julyan said quietly, 'can you think of any reason why Mrs de Winter killed herself?'

'If you have any record of a visit on that day, could we see it?' Colonel Julyan asked

'I had no idea there was any question of that

I don't think the papers will bother you any more

Nothing could hurt us any more.

She whispered her son's name, as if she would frighten off this beloved apparition if she spoke any louder.

Show business, in any form, was a merciless enterprise.

She refused to consider any other possibility because the alternatives were too frightening.

Sinatra was in town, at Caesar's Palace, perhaps for the last time, and even at eighty years of age, he generated more excitement in Vegas than any other famous name

Helen was by nature everything that poor Charlie struggled to be: impeccably well mannered, sophisticated, graceful, at ease and confident in any situation

Besides, living in Sacramento, she wouldn't be a nickel duchess any longer; she wouldn't be anyone special; she would be just another elderly lady, living with her daughter's family, playing grandma, marking time, waiting to die.

If the gigantic sets and lavish costumes and intricate choreography were overdone, or if any element was improperly executed, the production would quickly stumble across the thin line between captivating show-biz flash and sheer vulgarity

Although Vivienne could see where the noise originated, she couldn't locate any source for the bitterly cold air

"In basic black he's dressed for any occasion-"

She wasn't sure she would be able to get any more sleep, but she had to try

That's why there aren't any windows or clocks in the casino

"I still don't see any place where we can talk privately," Tina said.

"I don't want any ice cream, Michael."

But now, if she started making nasty accusations after he'd been so pleasant to her, she would seem to be a hysterical harpy, and if she still had any advantage left, she would quickly lose it.

She had never vented any of her black anger because, initially, she'd wanted to hide it from Danny; she hadn't wanted to turn him against his father

And before you give me any more of that treacly talk about your great love of family, let me remind you that it wasn't me who tore our family apart

It could tell her each man's preferred brand of liquor, each wife's favorite flower and perfume, the make of car they drove, the names and ages of their children, the nature of any illnesses or other medical conditions they might have, their favorite foods, their favorite colors, their tastes in music, their political affiliations, and scores of other facts both important and trivial

But how could any stranger so easily gain entrance to both her house and the hotel computer? Didn't he, after all, have to be someone she knew?

With a sharp, loud, electronic snap that startled Tina, the computer abruptly began to churn out additional data, although she hadn't requested any

She searched his face for any sign that he was lying, but his bewilderment seemed genuine

They drove up a steep, abandoned logging trail, a deteriorated dirt road so treacherous, so choked with snow, so icy that only a fool would have attempted to negotiate it any way but on foot."

But it wasn't any recollection of your son that had you so upset when I walked in a little while ago."

And I don't know of anyone but Michael who places any of the blame for Danny's death on me."

Maybe there isn't any threat in these strange things happening to me

"Tina, you know there isn't any maybe about it

Hundreds of cars progressed sluggishly through the busy street, taxicabs darting in and out, recklessly seeking any small advantage

remains, I won't be able to entertain any more doubts

I mean, there isn't any doubt about the cause of death, no court trial hinging on a new coroner's report

She hadn't been to bed with any man but Michael in the past fourteen years, since she was nineteen

Of course, during the first of those two years, she'd still been married to Michael and had felt compelled to remain faithful to him, even though a separation and then a divorce had been in the works, and even though he had not felt constrained by any similar moral sense

But Tina herself didn't think there was any serious danger, and Elliot tended to agree with her

He spent an hour and a half in his library, paging through legal casebooks, boning up on precedents for the exhumation of a body that, as the court had put it, "was to be disinterred in the absence of a pressing legal need, solely for humane reasons, in consideration of certain survivors of the deceased." Elliot didn't think Harold Kennebeck would give him any trouble, and he didn't expect the judge to request a list of precedents for something as relatively simple and harmless as reopening Danny's grave, but he intended to be well prepared

Harry Kennebeck had a poker face that also looked like a poker - hard and plain, dark - and it was difficult to tell if he had any sympathy whatsoever for Tina's plight

"As long as there aren't any religious objections, the law requires the permission of only one parent in a case like this," Elliot said.

The Mad Hatter would be along any minute now.

Determined not to let them see that he was frightened, aware that any sign of fear would be taken as proof of weakness, Elliot said, "Well, you've got one hell of a weird approach for someone who's just taking a public opinion survey."

"These drugs won't do any lasting physical or mental damage."

"Listen, you stupid fuck, I'm not gonna humor you any longer

I'm not gonna answer any more questions, but I am gonna put a bullet in your crotch if you don't move over to the table and sit down."

"There probably isn't any danger

Vince's wallet contained ninety-two dollars, no credit cards, no driver's license, no identification of any kind

The boy had been battered, burned, frozen, horribly mutilated in the crash, dead beyond any shadow of a doubt

The spirit world? Visions? Clairvoyant experiences? She didn't believe in any of that psychic, supernatural stuff

She had paged through only two of the magazines Danny had bought, the first two, when she had been trying to make up her mind whether such unusual reading material could have any harmful effects on him

Let's get you packed and the hell out of here before any more of these guys show up."

"He wanted to check my furnace, make sure there wasn't any gas escaping."

A man of his size probably wasn't frightened any more easily than Godzilla confronted by the pathetic bazooka-wielding soldiers surrounding doomed Tokyo.

"If you gave him a deposit, and if he gave you this address and claimed he lived here, then it's not very likely this Sol Fitzpatrick even owns any boat in the first place."

Nevada has fewer state laws on the books than any state in the nation

Vegas is an important field office for any American spook shop."

Kennebeck's bosses want to stop us before we sow any seeds of doubt about the official explanation

But any organization was composed of ordinary men and women, none of whom had the all-seeing gaze of God.

Does she have any proof that the official story of her son's death is false?

Evans been given, any material relating to military research installations in the Sierra Nevada Mountains?

But if the other people had a chance to view the bodies, if none of them has had any reason to entertain doubts like yours, then they're all just finally learning to cope with the tragedy

"In case you didn't know it, since the Cold War ended and California took such a big hit in the defense downsizing, Nevada has more Pentagon-supported industries and installations than any state in the union

But it's the kind of theory that almost any smart, ambitious reporter will go for in a big, big way - if we can come up with enough facts that appear to support it."

"Well, isn't there any way that we could slip past them and get at Kennebeck?"

"I don't have any money with me

It was ludicrous to suspect any of them of being employed by the secret organization that had blown up her house

"First of all," Elliot said, "before he went into the mountains with Jaborski, in all the years you knew him and lived in the same house with him, did Danny ever show any signs of being psychic?"

That's why they've been so much different from any dreams I've had before, so much stronger and more vivid."

The marked ticket in his hand was worthless; he hadn't taken it to the betting window, hadn't wagered any money on it

Furthermore, keno was a game that didn't have any appeal for either smart gamblers or cheaters, the two types of customers who most interested the security men

But when Bruckster had come into the hotel thirty minutes ago, Evans had been chatting with the players at his blackjack table, cracking jokes, and grinning as if nothing of any importance had happened in his life lately.

The risks would have been acceptable, however, and there wouldn't have been any need to kill anyone.

"If he thought he could get any help from the cops, he'd have been there already," Kennebeck said

Besides, there are more hotels and motels in Vegas than in any other city in the world."

I don't think we'd better rely on that carrot any longer."

He couldn't see anyone in any of them

"I think I can find it without any trouble

But no other indication he's in any discomfort."

Risky as it might be to express doubt to any colleague on the project, Dombey could not control himself: "Clean? This whole thing was never clean

He didn't have any choice but to commit the installation to it once we found out the damn Chinese were deeply into it

If there's any government on earth capable of using a weapon like this, it's them - or the North Koreans or the Iraqis

We don't have any choice but to maintain a strong defense

something there isn't any word for."

If there's any trouble, you might get in the way of it."

He knew then, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he loved her.

The rear windows were blank, black; a sentry might be standing behind any of them, invisible in the darkness.

In any case, he couldn't stand here all night brooding about it.

"Listen, if I could get my hands on the people who're trying to keep us from finding Danny, I wouldn't have any compunctions about killing them

"But does that make it any more acceptable?"

With that title, he would be one of the most powerful men in the United States, more of a force to be reckoned with than any mere Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense could hope to be.

The Network was clandestine and must remain clandestine if it was to have any value

"I suppose any sporting-goods store in Reno ought to have maps of at least the nearest parts of the Sierras."

Her right hand, in which she held the pen, grew rapidly colder than any other part of her

Elliot had suggested a change in the color of ink, so they would be able to tell the difference between the meaningless scribbles that were already on the map and any new marks that might be made.

I also feel he's going to help us get into the place, and I don't see any reason why I should strike out on that one."

If we're lucky, we'll have Danny when we come out, and he probably won't be in any condition to trek through the Sierras in the dead of winter."

And I also believe individuals are always smarter and better adapted to survival, at least in the long run, than any institution

If the rescue attempt went smoothly, as Tina's dream seemed to predict, they wouldn't have any need for much of what they bought

"I didn't know there were any."

I fail to see any association."

"It doesn't make any sense," Zachariah said

"I don't see any reason to get too worked up about it

Even if they locate the main gate, they can't get any farther than that

Not a single tree or any other sizable object remained, nothing behind which a man could hide

The fact that they had gotten this far unhurt didn't make Elliot feel any better about what lay ahead of them

"Put the gun aside, sit down, and don't make any trouble."

The bullet didn't sever any major blood vessels."

I knew this whole business was too dirty to end any way but disaster." He sighed, as if a great weight had been lifted from him

She couldn't pinpoint what else about his eyes made him so different from any eyes she had ever seen, but as she met Danny's gaze, a shiver passed through her, and she felt a profound and terrible pity for him.

"Right now he's on the verge of starving to death because it's been so long since he's been able to keep any food in his stomach

And judging from his appearance, she was concerned that any serious emotional disturbance would literally destroy him.

She couldn't control herself any longer, so she allowed her own tears to come, rivers of tears, a flood

At any one time, we have thirty to forty projects underway."

"If I understand you, the Chinese could use Wuhan-400 to wipe out a city or a country, and then there wouldn't be any need for them to conduct a tricky and expensive decontamination before they moved in and took over the conquered territory."

The victim simply ceases to have a pulse, functioning organs, or any urge to breathe."

They were just about to move off the road, into the trees, so they would be away from any sign of civilization when they set up camp for their first night in the wilderness

At least it doesn't have any of the characteristics of a tumor

Could this spot on Danny's brain have anything to do with the boy's psychic power? Were his latent psychic abilities brought to the surface as a direct result of the man-made virus with which he had been repeatedly infected? Crazy - but it didn't seem any more unlikely than that he had fallen victim to Project Pandora in the first place

I was so young and naive, I assumed "network-approved writers" meant that each of these writers would be among the finest in the TV business, on the planet, in the universe, the elite of the elite, the crS232; me de la crS232; me, superexcellent wordsmiths incapable of spinning any story that wasn't the top, the ower of Pisa, the Mona Lisa, the Louvre Museum, the Colosseum! Network-approved writers! I was in the lap of God, in the hands of ministering angels, and there could be no doubt whatsoever that we would have a hit with Help, My Feet Are Stuck to the Floor in Dean Koontz's Theater or whatever it would be called.

All I know is that during the fourteen or sixteen - or seven thousand - months that we worked together, through countless story meetings in the development executive's office, I was never sure that any of my writing confreres had read the complete novel that he or she was adapting - or understood what had been read

We won the arbitration, and the writer has not, in the intervening twenty-odd years, become a famous director or, as far as I know, a director of any status.

When I wondered aloud how any vehicle could negotiate this surface, my question was not understood

'He did not want any friends,' John Openshaw went on, 'and he often drank a lot

I hope your enemies will be happy with that, and then you won't be in danger any more

If anyone could see me turn on the light to answer it, I suppose I would look like any other sleepy man annoyed at being disturbed

But we were never able to obtain any information from my sister-in-law

'My dear Commissaire, how can there be any doubt?'

Do you know if your brother ever did any experiments with flies?'

'Do you feel any different?' I asked, touching his arm.

The night watchman must have heard the hammer and would be round at any moment

'Sir, I'll ask you any questions I want to know

'Dear Clement, it began 'Sorry, I cannot wait any longer, but I must...' Here the writing ended.

She kept asking if there were any suspects.'

His eyes were looking at the note in my hand and I have never seen such pain in any human being's face.

Miss Marple is as strong as any Chief Constable

'Yes, but did you hear any other shot - one down in the woods, perhaps?'

'Colonel Protheroe just wrote that he couldn't wait any longer

And yet at twenty past six he sits down and says he "can't wait any longer".'

'Imagine,' I said, 'that at about 6.30 Colonel Protheroe sat down to write that he couldn't wait any longer

'If! There is no evidence of any kind that he did.'

Third way - is there a third way? My idea was to see if any of the bushes were broken near the vicarage garden wall.'

'Were there any fingerprints on Mr Redding's phone?'

She didn't hear any shot

I don't think he has any idea that Lettice cares about him.'

He turned immediately to Griselda and as they talked, I heard her say, 'Do you have any ideas about the murder, Mr West?'

Of course, I don't know if he had made any actual arrangements, but if he had...'

He wouldn't have needed to tell you that he couldn't wait any longer until after half-past six

'But I don't believe you can prove any of it.'

It's coming into your life, too! And you can't call me a dear child any more when we have a real child of our own

Miss Cram, though, had been cleared of any crime

'My love to dear Griselda - and tell her - that any little secret is safe with me.' Really, Miss Marple is rather sweet...

We got there without any problems at about nine o'clock, and the horse had an hour's rest while I had supper with my cousins and left my wife in their care.

It seemed like any other Sunday - except for the empty houses, and the other ones where people were packing.

'Have you any water?' I asked.

My brother spoke to several of the refugees but none could give him any news of Woking, except one man who said that it had been totally destroyed the previous night.

They never gave the guns any chance against them

None of the wars of history had such an effect - six million people, moving without weapons or food or any real sense of direction
