"All those things might have seemed very wonderful and almost impossible, but they weren't quite impossible. Time-travelling is." "But we've done it," said Mollie. Nobody answered. There did not appear to be an answer to that statement.
Don't you see that?" "They might," Dick said cautiously, "and then again they mightn't. I don't think myself that there's any use trying to understand things like Time-travelling and Relativity. People like us never will." "I don't know that," said Jerry, who had been listening to the discussion in silence. "There's lots of things just as hard to understand, only you take them for granted.
It was a good thing, they thought, that people could not see into the future. Time-travelling was certainly best done backwards. And yet who would want to wipe out the record of the Anzacs? Life was a fairly puzzling job, when you saw too far ahead.
"I love them," she murmured to herself, "and I can never forget this week, whether I ever learn to understand Time-travelling or not. I mean to learn ever so much about Australia and our other colonies, and about the immigrant ships Prue talked of. I am glad she is a Guider and that I am a Guide."
Being alive, for instance. Look at Mollie fidgeting about, and Long John chewing and twitching, and the trees waving their branches, and you shaking your head as if it were a dinner-bell, which is about what it is it's all life. Just as hard to understand as Relativity, and a jolly sight harder if you ask me. I can't say I understand Time-travelling, but " Jerry broke off.
"Those things don't matter to Time-travellers," said the other child. "We travel about in Time. You haven't got to think about what is happening here and now that will be all right. But you have to make a vow before you begin Time-travelling. Do you know what a vow is?" "Of course I do," Mollie replied; "I'm a Girl Guide."
If we could have taken the Campbells to a moving picture of a submarine submerging, with aeroplanes flying round, and a lecture wirelessed from America coming out of a gramophone, and the music done with a piano-player, Time-travelling would not have seemed much more wonderful to them." Dick shook his head again. "It's different," he said.
"I was thinking of you, Prue," she said eagerly, "I wanted you so much. If you could only stay!" Prue shook her head, with a smile. "No, we have only come to say good-bye, Mollie. Your Time-travelling is over for this time, you won't come to our Time any more. Did you like it?"
