船靠岸了
Polly lands at Stromness off the morning boat and works out, one question at a time, how a place with no trees and no distance is arranged.

他问她想去哪里。她还不知道。这里有将近七十个岛,大约二十个岛上住着人。没有森林,方圆几里没有高的东西。“请问我在哪里可以坐上公交车?”她问。他朝坡上的候车亭偏了偏头。
然后她问了一个城里人的问题。“走到市中心要多久?”柯利犬望向那条贯穿全镇的唯一一条街。十一分钟,他说,如果你在橱窗前停下来的话。
“你能告诉我今天有什么有意思的活动吗?”渡轮时刻表就是本地新闻,他说。有一班船去海豹礁。有一座战俘建造的小教堂。还有一座村庄,在沙子下面埋了四千年。
