אני מאמין ששברתי כאן אצבע על הלסת המקוללת שלו, לא סכיני הטחון האלה בחזית שם, גברים? תסתכל על נקודות הידיים האלה, לבבי. קפטן, באלוהים, תסתכל בעצמך תגיד את המילה אל תהיה טיפש; לשכוח הכל; אנחנו מוכנים לפנות כדי להתייחס אלינו בצורה הגונה, ואנחנו האנשים שלך; אבל לא יציקו אותנו. אנחנו לא יכולים להישאר כאן, אמרתי; ובעודי דיברתי נפתחה הירי מחדש לרגע על הנחלה. "אבל לאן אנחנו הולכים?" אמרה אשתי באימה. חשבתי מבולבל. ואז נזכרתי בבני הדודים שלה ב-Leatherhead.

I and my wife stood amazed. Then I realised that the crest of Maybury Hill must be within range of the Martians' Heat-Ray now that the college was cleared out of the way. At that I gripped my wife's arm, and without ceremony ran her out into the road. Then I fetched out the servant, telling her I would go upstairs myself for the box she was clamouring for.
