Here are the quotations for this week (September 2nd to 8th): 1. Just when the silence was getting unendurable, the body turned over and rolled away frim the basin to the side of the room, where it lay stomach-up. There was a faint 'plop' from the basin - exactly like the noise a fish makes when it takes a fly - and the green light in the centre revived. I looked in the basin, and saw, bobbing in the water, the dried shrivelled black head of a native baby - open eyes, open mouth, and shaved scalp … 2. We could hear him moving about his own room, but there was no light there. Presently from the room came the long-drawn howl of a wolf. People write and talk lightly of blood running cold and hair standing up and things of that kind. Both sensations are too horrible to be trifled with. My heart stopped as though a knife had been driven through it, and Strickland turned as white as the table-cloth. The howl was repeated, and was answered by another howl far across the fields... 3. I was actually lying on my chest leaning over the mouth of a well so deep I could scarcely see the water in it. There were things in the water, - black things, - and the water was black as pitch with blue scum atop. The laughing sound came from the noise of a little spring, spouting half-way down one side of the well...One thing turned over on its back, as I watched, and drifted round and round the circle of the mossy brickwork with a hand and half an arm held clear of the water in a stiff and horrible flourish The sources of last week's extracts (Aug 26th to Sep 1st) are as follows: 1. (…'The tension snapped. Simmons fell back on the arm-rack deliberately, - the men were at the far end of the room, - and took out his rifle...) This is from "In The Matter of a Private" in Soldiers Three. 2. (...'The fallin'-block had sprung free behind a full charge av powder - good care I tuk to bite down the brass afther takin' out the bullet...) This is from "Black Jack" in Soldiers Three. 3. (..."Knee to knee!" sings out Crook, wid a laugh whin the rush av our comin' into the gut shtopped, an' he was huggin' a hairy great Paythan...) This is from "With the Main Guard" in Soldiers Three. For the New Readers' Guide we have just published notes by Philip Holberton on the verses which head the chapters of The Naulahka. Also, Peter Havholm has embarked on a review of our notes on Limits and Renewals, within earshot of John McGivering, our Editor for that collection. So far we have reviewed "Dayspring Mishandled". Good wishes to all, John R
