“That’s true, but we won’t be up there for another month at

“Flood,” Cordelia said, again it was a new word to her.
“When the water rises over the banks,” Neville explained.
“High tide?” she answered and they all looked at her funny.
“Never mind, I understand. Thank you, for letting us stay. We won’t stay long.”
