'When we get to Polreath on Saturday, I'm going to do
nothing,' said Anna.'I just want to sit and have cool drinks
and read and watch the world go by.'
'Me too,' replied Stephen.
It was the hottest summer for twenty years. It had started
at the end of May. Everyone thought the heat would only

'And don't expect any intelligent conversation from me,'
Anna continued. 'It'll take a day or two for me to become a
member of the human race again!'
'Mm,' said Stephen, not really listening. 'What about
this cottage we've booked, do you think it's going to be all
right? To be honest, I'm a bit worried about it - we were so
late making our decision and it was still available. Why
didn't anyone else want it? It makes me think there must be
something wrong with it.'
