"Numb with satisfaction, I fled with my cart of instruments from that
gleaming sphere and emerged into a street suddenly cold and dark. Night
had come with winter's swiftness; it was almost the ninth hour, and almost
time for me to Watch once more."

"A strange emptiness swept over me. I had given the alarm; the invaders
were on their way; I had lost my occupation. There was no need of Watchers
now. Almost lovingly I touched the worn cart that had been my companion
for so many years. I ran my fingers over its stained and pitted instruments;
and then I looked away, abandoning it, and went down the dark streets
cartless, burdenless, a man whose life had found and lost meaning in the
same instant. And about me raged chaos."
