James Hilton Quote
Mallinson, who had been somberly enduring these pleasantries, now interposed with something of the shrill acerbity of the barrack-square. Our stay won’t be long, he announced curtly. We shall pay for anything we have, and we should like to hire some of your men to help us on our journey back. We want to return to civilization as soon as possible. And are you so very certain that you are away from it? The query, delivered with much suavity, only stung the youth to further sharpness. I’m quite sure I’m far away from where I want to be, and so are we all. We shall be grateful for temporary shelter, but we shall be more grateful still if you’ll provide means for us to return.
