New Writings In SF 22 - [Anthology] - Plot & Excerpts
John Kippax Delving into the cloudy mysteries of the far past is as much in the competence of sf as exploring the far stars over on the other side of the galaxy. New theories continue to be elaborated to explain just how humankind emerged to its unique position on this planet—the return to the sea, the distaff-side evolution, the helping hand from space—but, just perhaps, this cheeky speculation is the way it was— or will be. * * * * ‘I want two dollars British each way on Morning Star, three o’clock race at Kempton Park.’ Summers, though a sixth former at Revell’s, showed no condescension to Hardacre, a boy four years his junior. Jimmy Hardacre said: ‘One dollar limit in any one day. It’s a rule. Protects some people from their own folly. Here.’ He handed back one dollar.

Sunlight streaked through the tall library windows, lighting Hardacre’s red hair and the blond mop of Louis Cousteau, who kept the accounts for the enterprise.
