There's always a war on. And Polly and her...

'I asked you how long,' she said. 'How long am I going to live?' Francis looked back. Their eyes held for a moment, then his dropped. He studied his hands intently for few seconds, then looked up again.'I estimate your expectation of life, my dear, at approximately two hundred and twenty years.' It came from a lichen, a simple rock-loving plant made of...
