With the sun behind him,Carter could see the girl from a long way off - a forlorn figure,alone,limping,signalling
hopelessly.From pity he stopped - and gave
her a lift.This simple act opened the door
to a world of nightmare,all the more fantastic because each step followed so logically.She reveals no interest in his destination,no knowledge of her own.And when he steels himself against her plea for help, her answer is to throw open her coat to reveal that she will not be carrying her child much longer.
Succumbing first to her entreaties,then to her threats,he becomes more and more involved,although he knows that it is sheer folly to let her spend the night in his house,madness to agree to let her give birth there,with no other help than his own unskilled and reluctant hands.
The net is cast and the mesh tightens.
When the baby,a sickly infant,is born,his ordeal has only begun.With horror he watches,first the events,then his own feeble struggles to escape their gruesome and foredoomed end.The 4th volume in Monsarrat's 'Sign of the Times' series.See also rja1950.
