Within striking distance Oscar de Havilleau sipped coffee and looked around the coffee shop; nervously if Isabella was any judge. "This is all quite strange," he said at last. "The world has moved on very rapidly indeed, it's hard to believe you when you say we're still within striking distance of my century and I recognise so little." "The thing is," said Isabella, "that the important things, the things I need to find, have barely moved at all."

Within striking distance
