"Right under my window." He -leaned forward. "You know how children talk to themselves?"</p> - -<p>"Was it the same voice you heard the first two nights?" Mrs. Tilton -asked.</p> - -<p>"I'm not sure now about the first night. Might have been another voice -that first night."</p> - -<p>"And now it was a child?"</p> - -<p>"Yes."</p> - -<p>Mrs. Tilton rose to get the coffee. "Are you quite sure?"</p> - -<p>"You don't think I'm imagining?"</p> - -<p>"We have no children," she said.</p> - -<p>"A neighbor's, no doubt."</p> - -<p>"There isn't a child in the whole village, Mr. Coat."</p> - -<p>"That's what puzzles me. Don't you think we ought to report it?"</p> - -<p>"I'll get your coffee," she said, and went into the kitchen.</p> - -<p>"I didn't actually <i>see</i> the child," he called to her. "But I'm sure I -heard the voice."</p> - -<p>The woman brought the cup of coffee; she had poured it in the kitchen. -The first two mornings, he remembered, she had set the coffee pot on -the table.</p> - -<p>"Aren't you having any?" he asked.</p> - -<p>"I had mine, thank you. Will you want anything else?"</p> - -<p>He could see past her into the kitchen—the corner of a large -wood-burning stove and a row of brass pots. The floor was flagstoned -and a hand pump stood over a sink.</p> - -<p>"Do you really grow your own strawberries?" he asked.</p> - -<p>"Yes. Would you like some?"</p> - -<p>"Very much."</p> - -<p>Mrs. Tilton went to get the berries. She had forgotten to serve cream -with the coffee. The coffee had a bitter taste and a faint smell of -iodine. But he was not used to natural coffee. And without cream. He -took another sip and slowly stretched his stiff legs. In the window he -saw lilac bushes in bloom.</p> - -<p>"Picked this morning," Mrs. Tilton said, setting a bowl of strawberries -before him.</p> - -<p>"Oh, thank you." He sniffed at the berries. "They smell of earth," he -said, smiling at her.</p> - -<p>"You might like a walk after breakfast," Mrs. Tilton suggested. "Then -you can have a restful nap at noon."</p> - -<p>"Good idea," he said. "Excuse me, but the coffee seems bitter."</p> - -<p>Mrs. Tilton looked at the old man as if she did not understand.</p> - -<p>"I'm afraid I'm a nuisance," he apologized, "but I take cream with my -coffee."</p> - -<p>"I'm sorry, I forgot."</p> - -<p>She brought a small cream pitcher.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>The old man turned the pitcher in his hand. It was lopsided and made of -inferior clay "Do you make your own pottery, too?"</p> - -<p>"Such as it is."</p> - -<p>"Charming." He set down the pitcher and leaned back with a sigh. "You -know, I pretended I did not want a rest, but I could hardly wait to see -the country again."</p> - -<p>"You weren't born in the city?"</p> - -<p>"I was born in a village no larger than this. Of course it's all gone -now, swallowed up by the city. But in those days it was an hour's -heliride from the city. I remember a thing or two."</p> - -<p>Mrs. Tilton watched him drink the coffee.</p> - -<p>"Not many people left who remember those days," he said. "For -instance, did you know that unadjustables—they called them criminals -then—were actually electrocuted? Strapped down to a horrible chair—"</p> - -<p>"Don't you want the strawberries, Mr. Coat?"</p> - -<p>He looked down at the strawberries in the bowl. "Just imagine—" but he -forgot what he had wanted to say.</p> - -<p>The woman went into the kitchen.</p> - -<p>He had just finished drinking the coffee when he heard the child's -voice in the lane outside the window. The same voice. He crossed to the -window and looked out. The lane was empty.</p> - -<p>"Mrs. Tilton!"</p> - -<p>He heard no answer.</p> - -<p>He went into the kitchen. The door to the garden stood open. He saw her -working in a vegetable patch.</p> - -<p>"Pst ... pst!"</p> - -<p>She looked up.</p> - -<p>"Did you see the child?" he called. "It must have turned into the -garden."</p> - -<p>Mrs. Tilton straightened herself, holding her back with both hands. -"The child?"</p> - -<p>"The voice, I just heard it again."</p> - -<p>"I'll be with you in a moment, Mr. Coat."</p> - -<p>He looked round the kitchen—the antique flagstones, the brass pots, -the stove, the hand pump. There was only one anachronism: on the wall -by the door, stuck behind a cluster of radishes, was a World Union -Telegram.</p> - -<p>Out in the vegetable patch, he saw Mrs. Tilton was looking about for -something.</p> - -<p>On an impulse he took down the telegram, and read:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> -<p>RECOAT IF VOICES PERSIST TO THIRD MORNING PROCEED EUTHANASIA SUGGEST -USING COFFEE FORMULA TWO ADVISE OFFICE OF CHIEF PSYCH WMA</p></div> - -<p>He stuck the telegram behind the radishes and looked out the door. Mrs. -Tilton was coming with a basket on her arm.</p> - -<p>"You heard the child again, Mr. Coat?"</p> - -<p>"Perhaps ... I was mistaken."</p> - -<p>"Strange, I saw nobody." She put the basket on the kitchen table; it -was filled with peas. "Did you have enough coffee?"</p> - -<p>He nodded.</p> - -<p>"Aren't you feeling well?"</p> - -<p>"I ... am fine. Yes."</p> - -<p>The executioner looked as if she could not make up her mind about him. -Then she smiled. She brought out a wooden bowl, and sat down at the -table to shell the peas.</p> - -<p>"Why don't you take your walk now? You'll enjoy our little market -place."</p> - -<p>"Yes." Such a nice day, he thought, shuffling to the window. Spring.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>He had enjoyed the market yesterday until he had noticed that there -were no children about. No children at all. Only adult primitives and a -few well-trained functionaries like Mrs. Tilton.</p> - -<p>In the sky in the window he saw a rocket cutting a thin line as it left -the atmosphere.</p> - -<p>"I'll have your bed ready for your noon nap," she said.</p> - -<p>He turned from the window. "Noon?"</p> - -<p>"You'll want a nice restful nap then."</p> - -<p>He had imagined the poisoned coffee would work faster. His heart -beating, he said, "Those are peas, aren't they?"</p> - -<p>She nodded. Her hands were busy shelling. "I hung your cane on the coat -rack," she said.</p> - -<p>"If you don't mind, Mrs. Tilton, I'd rather not go out today. I'd very -much like to try shelling peas for you."</p> - -<p>"Why, of course. Pull up that chair, why don't you?"</p> - -<p>Sitting down, he reached his trembling hands into the basket and came -up with a handful of the green wonders. Mrs. Tilton moved the basket -nearer him.</p> - -<p>"After a while I'll go up to my room," he promised. "I feel a little -tired already."</p> - -<p>"Certainly."</p> - -<p>He split a shell and slid his thumb under the peas. They rolled into -his hand. He counted nine. He dropped them in the bowl, then put one in -his mouth and chewed. It had a sweet taste.</p> - -<p>"Thank you, Mrs. Tilton."</p> - -<p>"Not at all, Mr. Coat."</p> - - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of This Way To the Egress, by Andrew Fetler - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS *** - -***** This file should be named 61332-h.htm or 61332-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/3/3/61332/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.

"Right under my window." He -leaned forward. "You know how children talk to themselves?" - -"Was it the same voice you heard the first two nights?" Mrs. Tilton -asked. - -"I'm not sure now about the first night. Might have been another voice -that first night." - -"And now it was a child?" - -"Yes." - -Mrs. Tilton rose to get the coffee. "Are you quite sure?" - -"You don't think I'm imagining?" - -"We have no children," she said. - -"A neighbor's, no doubt." - -"There isn't a child in the whole village, Mr. Coat." - -"That's what puzzles me. Don't you think we ought to report it?" - -"I'll get your coffee," she said, and went into the kitchen. - -"I didn't actually _see_ the child," he called to her. "But I'm sure I -heard the voice." - -The woman brought the cup of coffee; she had poured it in the kitchen. -The first two mornings, he remembered, she had set the coffee pot on -the table. - -"Aren't you having any?" he asked. - -"I had mine, thank you. Will you want anything else?" - -He could see past her into the kitchen--the corner of a large -wood-burning stove and a row of brass pots. The floor was flagstoned -and a hand pump stood over a sink. - -"Do you really grow your own strawberries?" he asked. - -"Yes. Would you like some?" - -"Very much." - -Mrs. Tilton went to get the berries. She had forgotten to serve cream -with the coffee. The coffee had a bitter taste and a faint smell of -iodine. But he was not used to natural coffee. And without cream. He -took another sip and slowly stretched his stiff legs. In the window he -saw lilac bushes in bloom. - -"Picked this morning," Mrs. Tilton said, setting a bowl of strawberries -before him. - -"Oh, thank you." He sniffed at the berries. "They smell of earth," he -said, smiling at her. - -"You might like a walk after breakfast," Mrs. Tilton suggested. "Then -you can have a restful nap at noon." - -"Good idea," he said. "Excuse me, but the coffee seems bitter." - -Mrs. Tilton looked at the old man as if she did not understand. - -"I'm afraid I'm a nuisance," he apologized, "but I take cream with my -coffee." - -"I'm sorry, I forgot." - -She brought a small cream pitcher. - - * * * * * - -The old man turned the pitcher in his hand. It was lopsided and made of -inferior clay "Do you make your own pottery, too?" - -"Such as it is." - -"Charming." He set down the pitcher and leaned back with a sigh. "You -know, I pretended I did not want a rest, but I could hardly wait to see -the country again." - -"You weren't born in the city?" - -"I was born in a village no larger than this. Of course it's all gone -now, swallowed up by the city. But in those days it was an hour's -heliride from the city. I remember a thing or two." - -Mrs. Tilton watched him drink the coffee. - -"Not many people left who remember those days," he said. "For -instance, did you know that unadjustables--they called them criminals -then--were actually electrocuted? Strapped down to a horrible chair--" - -"Don't you want the strawberries, Mr. Coat?" - -He looked down at the strawberries in the bowl. "Just imagine--" but he -forgot what he had wanted to say. - -The woman went into the kitchen. - -He had just finished drinking the coffee when he heard the child's -voice in the lane outside the window. The same voice. He crossed to the -window and looked out. The lane was empty. - -"Mrs. Tilton!" - -He heard no answer. - -He went into the kitchen. The door to the garden stood open. He saw her -working in a vegetable patch. - -"Pst ... pst!" - -She looked up. - -"Did you see the child?" he called. "It must have turned into the -garden." - -Mrs. Tilton straightened herself, holding her back with both hands. -"The child?" - -"The voice, I just heard it again." - -"I'll be with you in a moment, Mr. Coat." - -He looked round the kitchen--the antique flagstones, the brass pots, -the stove, the hand pump. There was only one anachronism: on the wall -by the door, stuck behind a cluster of radishes, was a World Union -Telegram. - -Out in the vegetable patch, he saw Mrs. Tilton was looking about for -something. - -On an impulse he took down the telegram, and read: - - RECOAT IF VOICES PERSIST TO THIRD MORNING PROCEED EUTHANASIA - SUGGEST USING COFFEE FORMULA TWO ADVISE OFFICE OF CHIEF PSYCH WMA - -He stuck the telegram behind the radishes and looked out the door. Mrs. -Tilton was coming with a basket on her arm. - -"You heard the child again, Mr. Coat?" - -"Perhaps ... I was mistaken." - -"Strange, I saw nobody." She put the basket on the kitchen table; it -was filled with peas. "Did you have enough coffee?" - -He nodded. - -"Aren't you feeling well?" - -"I ... am fine. Yes." - -The executioner looked as if she could not make up her mind about him. -Then she smiled. She brought out a wooden bowl, and sat down at the -table to shell the peas. - -"Why don't you take your walk now? You'll enjoy our little market -place." - -"Yes." Such a nice day, he thought, shuffling to the window. Spring. - - * * * * * - -He had enjoyed the market yesterday until he had noticed that there -were no children about. No children at all. Only adult primitives and a -few well-trained functionaries like Mrs. Tilton. - -In the sky in the window he saw a rocket cutting a thin line as it left -the atmosphere. - -"I'll have your bed ready for your noon nap," she said. - -He turned from the window. "Noon?" - -"You'll want a nice restful nap then." - -He had imagined the poisoned coffee would work faster. His heart -beating, he said, "Those are peas, aren't they?" - -She nodded. Her hands were busy shelling. "I hung your cane on the coat -rack," she said. - -"If you don't mind, Mrs. Tilton, I'd rather not go out today. I'd very -much like to try shelling peas for you." - -"Why, of course. Pull up that chair, why don't you?" - -Sitting down, he reached his trembling hands into the basket and came -up with a handful of the green wonders. Mrs. Tilton moved the basket -nearer him. - -"After a while I'll go up to my room," he promised. "I feel a little -tired already." - -"Certainly." - -He split a shell and slid his thumb under the peas. They rolled into -his hand. He counted nine. He dropped them in the bowl, then put one in -his mouth and chewed. It had a sweet taste. - -"Thank you, Mrs. Tilton." - -"Not at all, Mr. Coat." - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of This Way To the Egress, by Andrew Fetler - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS *** - -***** This file should be named 61332.txt or 61332.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/3/3/61332/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
