Following the observation of lights from Mars some people begin to ponder the possibility that Martians are signaling Earth.<\/p>\n

In London, Toni, caught up in her studies, her enthusiasm for the suffragists, and the joys of divided skirts, means it is only at the end of the day that she has time to contemplate the idea of life on Mars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

When questioned by a reporter from the “Daily Chronicle”, Ogilvy (the well-known astronomer) scoffed at the possibility that the inhabitants of Mars were signalling to us. “The chances against anything man-like on Mars are a million to one,” he is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Wells, himself, is presently occupied this day in learning to ride the bicycle, and in writing a series of papers discussing the probable developments of moral ideas as civilization progresses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Under her wig, mother\u2019s hair is now whiter than her teeth so she is not making as much from men coming to \u2018night lessons\u2019. She has taken on two students as apprentices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Mother introduced me to one of her clients. He is a toff, but Vogan wrangled tickets from him to a talk by Pierre and Marie Curie in Oxford. Unfortunately there’s no tickets available for their London talk.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Back at our bivouac Vogan goes on and on to Brown about these things from Mars. He thinks the Curies may know what they are. I\u2019m more interested in these things called X-rays, which can see through women\u2019s clothing. Anyway, it should be a laugh.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
