Roger stooped$$$ picked up a stone$$$ aimed and threw it at Henry-threw it to miss. The stone$$$ that token of preposterous time$$$ bounced five yards to Henry's right and fell in the water. Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry$$$ perhaps six yards in diameter$$$ into which he dare not throw. Here$$$ invisible yet strong$$$ was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. Roger was conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins.
