This was exactly what I needed. What was happening ‘out there’? How far had the plague spread and what was the world doing about it? Curiously, the Zombie Apocalypse was not the leading news item. “That’s probably good news,” I thought. “Probably.” As it turned out, the discussion that Paul and I had recently, outside the crypt, had been half-right. This was not bad, considering our almost complete lack of data at the time. The bit we’d guessed correctly concerned how far the vanguard zombies had managed to spread the plague simply by walking out from ground zero in Melbourne. The current ‘battle front’ was indeed being fought on three separate fronts: one in each of the three regional cities of Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. The vanguard had got to those cities within days of the initial outbreak, catching the populace completely unprepared – just as Melbourne and its suburbs had been. This vanguard was being continually reinforced, from Melbourne, by a steady supply of graduate or ‘new’ zombies. (That is, the guys who’d been bitten in the first few days but had taken some time to ‘change’.) So, each of those regional cities had now become the site of daily pitched battles between the zombies and a relatively ad hoc civilian-cum-military resistance. Given the inadequate nature of the initial response, the civil authorities had determined that it was better to impose a complete news blackout at local level rather than cause unnecessary panic among the civilians. Do you follow that logic? No, I didn’t either. In those first few days, it seems the military authorities took the view that, if they could do nothing effective to counter the zombies, it was preferable to maintain civil order in places where the zombies had not yet reached (and simply abandon the residents of Greater Melbourne to their fate – which neatly explained why we had seen no helicopters after Day One). Well, maybe there was a certain misconceived logic in those first few days – when the authorities thought they might yet contain the plague to Melbourne and the area immediately surrounding that city. But this strategy, if that is a worthy description, gave the residents of the three outlying regional cities no warning, no chance to flee in an orderly manner – or to start preparing their defences as soon as possible.

David and I were stuck with him for the time being. (He was just the sort of guy who could notice my lack of socks: “You’re out of uniform, soldier!” I could almost hear him saying.” Completely ‘in character’, he harrumphed and turned to me. Instinctively, I leapt to my feet and snapped to attention. I saluted the superior officer. (My cadet training had come in handy once again.) He returned my salute in a perfunctory fashion. “Sergeant, did you see what that damned-fool private just did with my luggage?” “Yessir!” I replied. The Major harrumphed again and stared more closely at me. “You look awfully young to be a sergeant. How old are you?” “23, Sir! Field promotion, Sir. At the cemetery battle,” I replied, keeping my eyes straight ahead. (I hoped he had heard of the battle – and, fortunately, he had.) He stared at the name on my chest badge. “Well, Sergeant Smith, I’m sure that’s commendable. But you still look too young to me. I blame the Vietnam War – ‘field promotions’: too easy for my liking. Never would have happened in Korea or Malaya, when I was your age.” I remained at attention. The Major had not ordered me to ‘stand easy’. I knew better than to relax without an officer specially allowing me to do so. The Major was still looking me up and down. He flicked an eye in the direction of the coffin. “Yours?” “Yessir!” I replied. “Coffin detail, Sir.” “Hmm,” said the Major. “Who is it?” “One of ours, Sir,” I replied. “Well, it would hardly be a fucking zombie, would it, Sergeant?” (A reasonable point.)

Argon is a chemical element with the symbol Ar and atomic number 18. It is in group 18 of the periodic table and is a noble gas.[6] Argon is the third-most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere, at 0.934% (9340 ppmv). It is more than twice as abundant as water vapor (which averages about 4000 ppmv, but varies greatly), 23 times as abundant as carbon dioxide (400 ppmv), and more than 500 times as abundant as neon (18 ppmv). Argon is the most abundant noble gas in Earth's crust, comprising 0.00015% of the crust. Nearly all of the argon in the Earth's atmosphere is radiogenic argon-40, derived from the decay of potassium-40 in the Earth's crust. In the universe, argon-36 is by far the most common argon isotope, as it is the most easily produced by stellar nucleosynthesis in supernovas. The name "argon" is derived from the Greek word ἀργόν, neuter singular form of ἀργός meaning 'lazy' or 'inactive', as a reference to the fact that the element undergoes almost no chemical reactions. The complete octet (eight electrons) in the outer atomic shell makes argon stable and resistant to bonding with other elements. Its triple point temperature of 83.8058 K is a defining fixed point in the International Temperature Scale of 1990.

Then going abroad to school, and after that going to France, I do not remember understanding much in the Cornish language, until coming to get business in the world. And now I am reckoning to see as far into it almost as many of the neighbours. And I have as great love for it, but I cannot give to it more as I should, for it is scarcely complete to be seen in many words, which must be made up from Latin, or English.
