These people of the remote future were strict vegetarians, and while I
was with them, in spite of some carnal cravings, I had to be frugivorous
also. Indeed, I found afterwards that horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, had
followed the Ichthyosaurus into extinction. But the fruits were very
delightful; one, in particular, that seemed to be in season all the time
I was there—a floury thing in a three-sided husk—was especially good,
and I made it my staple. At first I was puzzled by all these strange
fruits, and by the strange flowers I saw, but later I began to perceive
their import.
