Sample text
For a moment or two the old man didn't reply. He was staring at the instruments with the air of one who is trying to convert fahrenheit to centigrade in his head whilst his house is burning down. Then his brow cleared and he stared for a moment at the wide panoramic screen in front of him, which displayed a bewildering complexity of stars streaming like silver threads around them. His lips moved as if he was trying to spell something. Suddenly his eyes darted in alarm back to his instruments, but then his expression merely subsided into a steady frown.
I can hardly even remember how to speak. I keep forgetting words. I practise you see. I practise by talking to… talking to… what are those things people think you're mad if you talk to? " suggested Ford. "No, no," said Arthur. "The things he used to talk to. We're surrounded by them for heaven's sake. I've planted hundreds myself. They all died. Trees! I practise by talking to trees. " Ford still had his hand stuck out. Arthur looked at it with incomprehension. "Shake," prompted Ford.

"Carry on," he said levelly. "The point is, you see," said Ford, "that there is no point in driving yourself mad trying to stop yourself going mad. " said Arthur. " "I went to Africa," said Ford. " said Ford. "Er, yes," said Arthur. He felt very strange. After nearly four years of total isolation he was so pleased and relieved to see Ford that he could almost cry.
