From p185/6
“Oh what do we do Len?” cried Eddie.
Len, the eternal optimist, tried to console his friend, but without much
success. They stood in silence for a few minutes, each thinking about the
consequences of their loss. The emotional strain was beginning to take its toll.

Like a dog who had just seen its master die, Eddie slumped to the ground by a grassy hollow, not wishing to leave the scene of the .....’s demise.
Len sat down beside his friend and mental tiredness coupled with the
warmth of the afternoon caused them both to lie down and curl up, seeking
comfort in a semi-fetal posture and an escape into sleep.
