Have you seen any martians?
No, they're going over to New York. At night the sky is alive with the lights. It's as if people were still living there. In daylight you can't see them. Five days ago a couple of them carried something big across the flats from the airport. I think they're learning how to fly.
Fly!?
Yeah... fly.

"They've gone away across London," he said. "I guess they've got a bigger camp there. Of a night, all over there, Hampstead way, the sky is alive with their lights. It's like a great city, and in the glare you can just see them moving. By daylight you can't. But nearer--I haven't seen them--" (he counted on his fingers) "five days. Then I saw a couple across Hammersmith way carrying something big. And the night before last"--he stopped and spoke impressively--"it was just a matter of lights, but it was something up in the air. I believe they've built a flying-machine, and are learning to fly."
I stopped, on hands and knees, for we had come to the bushes.
"Fly!"
"Yes," he said, "fly."
