"How you be sure? Theres a story that we got feathers instead of hair on— Aw, I cant tell a joke like that to a little girl! How come you're not wearing the Iron Crown of Lombardy if you're a white girl? How you expect me to believe you're a little white girl? and your folks come from Europe a couple hundred years ago if you don't wear it? There were six hundred tribes, and only one of them, the Oglala Sioux, had the war bonnet, and only the big leaders, never more than two or three of them alive at one time, wore it." R. A. LAFFERTY If youre right, then she did know about the affair. That was what she was holding back, hiding... Some of the guys are washing themselves, but I led the Starman past them and out through the open doors. It was a cold morning, the sky a kind of purple colour along the horizon and blue higher up. The garden looked dark, and it was empty. Across the road a light was burning in the dispensary. A work party went by, snuffling and coughing in the cold. (Theyre lucky — they get to wheel gravel down by the highway and see the cars.) the philosopher(adjusting his craggy toga and yawning): The topic for tonights symposium is that vast container of all, the Void. Miss Hutton smiled awkwardly, fingered her unpainted lip. In class she was very much of a martinet, but there was little to suggest that now. She was a small, neat, elderly woman, just a little bowed, and tiredness had sagged down the corners of her mouth and made fine lines round her eyes. She walked back to her desk, stood leaning her hands on its polished surface and looking down at Susan. She said,As you know, Susan, I am retiring at the end of the present term. I had hoped to continue to the end of the school year in July but various considerations, among them my health, prompted an earlier decision. So in a fortnights time I shall be gone. School life being what it is, one day tends to slip very rapidly into the next, more particularly as one becomes older. She cleared her throat. “This may very possibly be the last opportunity I have to talk to you like this, privately. And I want very particularly to ask you a question.” This moving fleck was a satellite, and in a moment, motionless, uninstrumented but for his chronometer and his part-brain, he will know which one. (He is grateful beyond expression—without that sliding chip of light, there were only those footprints, those wandering footprints, to tell a man he was not alone in the world.) Since she still had little useful information about Nathaniel Dobbs and the Egans, Sabina made her next stop the Commercial Street building that housed theMorning Call. Once known asthe washerwomans paper, for it had been aimed primarily at the working-class Irish, it had since evolved into one of the more responsible general-readership sheets. While not editorially in favor of woman suffrage, at least it refused to lower itself to the level of the muckraking attacks in such rags as Homer Keeps’Evening Bulletin. Peter Tate Eventually, we will again have an integrated literature. It will owe much, artistically, to non-science fiction. But its dominant attitudes and purposes ... will have evolved from those of modern science fiction. We held on to each other, shaking, while a tone-deaf pigeon watched. The bell went on and on. When a man and a woman vibrate so thoroughly, something changes between them. Then why dont you publicize this? Put a stop to it before it’s too late! Is there anythingyou can do, Sabina? Any way you can find out who wrote the notes and whether or not the threats are genuine? We pulled the ship in close and cut all the power.
