A Figure Like That<br />

THIRTY-SIX<br />

Stan walked out of the Leatherhead rail<br />

station. Although the SkyRail ferries were<br />

technically quicker - as Surry was so close to<br />

London - the governmental owned nationalised<br />

rail networks were actually much more efficient<br />

for short distances and, as IDP paid for the<br />

railways across the country due to the fact that<br />

it massively reduced the congestion in the skies<br />

for their long-haul flights, Stan’s trip from<br />

Euston was not only pleasant and fast, but also<br />

completely free. Dr Green’s mansion wasn’t on<br />

a tram line and was at the top of a hill, but<br />

there was actually an extremely nice walk from<br />

town that went straight to it and it wasn’t<br />

particularly steep. There was also a lot of flora<br />

and fauna along it which always cheered Stan<br />

up a bit, even if he did sometimes feel slightly<br />

guilty as he walked past people’s back gardens<br />
