SECTION B
At two o’clock one very hot August Sunday, Mrs. Pendlebury sat down in the sitting room, where it was always cool, to write to her son Frank, who lived in Australia. By four o’clock she had written, “Dear Frank, thank you for your last letter, sorry I have been so long
replying, only” – and that was all. Only what? Frank’s last letter, or rather his wife Veronica’s last letter, for she did all the writing except at Christmas, had arrived in March. How did she explain five months’ silence? She hadn’t been ill. She hadn’t been what you could call busy. Nothing had happened to write to Australia about, that was the trouble. It would be insulting and childish.
She’s been invited so many times to go and meet all Frank’s family. Every for the last ten years since he started making money out of his farm, Frank had invited her to visit them in Australia, all expenses paid, for as long as she choose to stay. Always she had replied, “we’ll see”. But it never went further.
Sometimes Mrs. Pendlebury wondered if the people in the coloured photographs they kept sending existed at all. Was that Frank, now quite a lot heavier than that confident-looking boy of nineteen who had gone out to Australia so long ago? And his wife Veronica, who had long red hair and a permanent smile – who was she? Mrs. Pendlebury had studied her photographs extremely closely and still she could get no idea. Her letters were warm and friendly enough but they were only words on paper. You couldn’t tell from letters. At least, Mrs. Pendlebury hoped you couldn’t. Heaven forbids that anyone should judge her by her painful letters. Only her grand children’s little messages had any real value. Surprisingly, the girl Carol, who was fourteen, did not write well and never had much to say, but the boy Paul, who was ten, was a good writer. She enjoyed his little letters and it makes her sad to think he could never know from her few words how pleased she was. What a waste! Three lovely grandchildren growing up not even knowing their grandmother.
Frank already talked of Carol coming over on her own soon and it really worried her. What should she do with a strange girl? It was the baby she most wanted. Alexander, aged eighteen months, would be no problem.
Why was Mrs. Pendlebury finding it difficult to write to her son Frank?
She did not want to tell him about her troubles
It was too hot to concentrate on writing
She was hurt that she had not written recently
There was nothing particular to write about
Pendlebury had never been to Australia because
She has never been made up her mind to go
She had thought Frank would not really welcome her
She had been too busy with her own concerns
She did not have enough money for the fare
What did Mrs. Pendlebury feel when she looked at photos of Frank and his family?
She doubted if they were as happy as they seemed
She felt that they were all strangers to her
She wondered if the photos were
She could no longer feel much interest in them
What did Mrs. Pendlebury feel about her own letters to Frank and his family?
They were not as interesting as her grandchildren to her
They would have been better with some photographs
They could not express what she really felt
They sounded full of complaints
Paul’s letters to Mrs. Pendlebury
disappointed her because they were short
were not as interesting as his mother’s
made her more dissatisfied with her own letter
were just a waste of

In the evening, now that we needed no longer measure out each cup of water, bin Kabina made extra coffee, while Musallino increased our rations of flour by mugful. This was wild extravagance, but we felt that the occasion called for celebration. Even so, the loaves he handed us were woefully inadequate to stay our hunger, now that our thirst was gone.
The moon was high above us when I lay down to sleep. The others still talked round the fire, but I closed my mind to the meaning of their words content to hear only the murmur of their voices, to watch their outlines shape against the sky, happily conscious that they were there and beyond them the camels to which we owed our lives.
For years the Empty Quarter had represented to me the final, unattainable challenge which the desert offered. Suddenly it had come within my reach. I remembered my excitement
when Lean had casually offered me the chance to go there, the immediate determination to cross it, and then the doubts and fears, the frustration, and the moment of despair. Now I had crossed it. To others my journey would have little importance. It would produce nothing except a rather inaccurate map which no one was ever likely ever to use. It was a personal experience, and the reward had been a drink of clean, nearly tasteless water. I was content with that.
Looking back on my journey I realized that there had been no high moment of achievement such as a mountaineer must feel when he stands upon his chosen summit. Over the past days new strains and anxieties had built up as others eased, for, after all, this crossing of the Empty Quarter was set in the framework of a long journey, and already my mind was busy with the new problems which our return journey presented

in order to produce a map

he looked back across the Empty
