1 The door of the lighthouse was ajar.
2 For the very reason why he had chosen the lighthouse had become almost instantly a reason for going somewhere else.
3 But it was not alone the distance that had attracted the Savage to his lighthouse; the near was as seductive as the far.
4 There were ash trees near the lighthouse and, for arrow shafts, a whole copse full of beautifully straight hazel saplings.
5 On the other side of the lighthouse, towards the south, the ground fell away in long slopes of heather to a chain of ponds.
6 The Savage had chosen as his hermitage the old lighthouse which stood on the crest of the hill between Puttenham and Elstead.
7 The lighthouse was only a quarter of an hour's flight from the Charing-T Tower; but the hills of Malpais were hardly more deserted than this Surrey heath.
8 In the valley which separated the Hog's Back from the sandy hill on which the lighthouse stood, Puttenham was a modest little village nine stories high, with silos, a poultry farm, and a small vitamin-D factory.
9 The Savage had retreated towards cover, and now, in the posture of an animal at bay, stood with his back to the wall of the lighthouse, staring from face to face in speechless horror, like a man out of his senses.

11 Half an hour later, three Delta-Minus land-workers from one of the Puttenham Bokanovsky Groups happened to be driving to Elstead and, at the top of the hill, were astonished to see a young man standing outside the abandoned lighthouse stripped to the waist and hitting himself with a whip of knotted cords.
