Couldnt he come down the same way he’ll go up? It only stands to reason. But I only got a dollar, Billy said. Eunice was glaring at the clerk. Oh yeah. The drug was imported by golden from Cancer-9, and most of it goes through the Star-pit. Alegra came here because illegal imports are easier to come by, and you can get it for just about nothing— if you want it. Golden dont use it. I see what you mean. I think we could work something out that would satisfy the Patent Office. It would take a lot of work, though.

He was pretending to be indifferent to an illness to which no man could be indifferent. With a flash of compassion, Dyak saw that Utliff was not long for this life. Of course, the first years were hard, and it took time for him to get his machine accepted. But he had perseverance and stick-to-itiveness. So, his machine was introduced into publishing houses, magazine offices, and newspaper editorial rooms. One machine, working an eight-hour day, could shed four books. And none of the books was gloomy. The policeman could read them without making an arrest and this saved the taxpayers money, because the police were no longer needed to seize books, and to arrest booksellers, authors, and publishers. The clergymen were grateful because they no longer had to write sermons about immoral books and could speak from the pulpit of God and Goodness. Ian sat looking back at him without answering.

We were neither surprised nor disappointed when he left, early one morning, before anyone else was awake. We couldnt be entirely sure he was really gone, at first, since the jeep was still there. Then one of us recalled being awakened briefly by the sound of the jeep’s motor starting, and we decided he must have doubled it—none of us had ever dared attempt anything so ambitious before, but presumably it had worked. We waited for a few days to make sure he wasn’t coming back, then the snare drummer doubled himself, bringing the band back to full strength again. The new bass drummer was fine, and we were all relieved to be rid of the old one, who had turned into such a drag. But what? We could sell this somewhere, I dont know—the university, that aquarium at Seal Beach or… well, hell, why couldn’t we just set up a place? Look. He shook Tom’s arm. Drive to the pier. Buy us three hundred pounds of chipped ice. When you take anything out of the water youneed ice, don’t you?” Then the doctor asked Mose straight out how he came to find it and Mose told him exactly how it happened. But he didnt tell him anything about the birdcage, for when he thought about it, it sounded so fantastic that he couldn’t bring himself to tell it. Just finding the critter and having it here was bad enough, without throwing in the birdcage. In any case, when Major Whites walk in space was announced, I couldn’t work up enough interest to find a friendly nearby TV set and watch.
