The young man turns astonished; he knows of no King, only a Queen, who is far from being dead. He opens his mouth to protest the joke and finds he is face to face with John Tradescant. Above them the sails whip in the wind.

TIME 2: They are cat-calling the girl as she comes out of school. She hates them, she wants to kill them. They tell her she smells, that she's too fat, too tall. She walks home along the river bank to a council flat in Upper Thames Street. The traffic deafens her. She climbs up the steps at Waterloo Bridge to look at St Paul's glinting in the evening. She can't see St Paul's. All she can see are rows of wooden stakes and uncertain craft bobbing along the water. She can't hear the traffic any more, the roar of dogs is deafening. Coming to herself, she kicks the bunch of hounds and drags her blanket shawl closer to her. For a moment she felt dizzy, lost her balance, but no, she's home as always. She can see her hut. She laughs, and the wind blows through the gaps in her teeth. Jordan will be waiting for her. She doesn't have to see him to know he's there.

LIES 1: There is only the present and nothing to remember.

LIES 2: Time is a straight line.

LIES 3: The difference between the past and the future is that one has happened while the other has not.

LIES 4: We can only be in one place at a time.

LIES 5: Any proposition that contains the word 'finite' (the world, the universe, experience, ourselves...)

LIES 6: Reality as something which can be agreed upon.

LIES 7: Reality as truth.
