Its indecent! Hitchcock sputtered. Criminal! You’d let these poor creatures die and... and suffer without lifting a hand! Why, they have the same right to live that you do. I will see them granted that right.” Always adaptable, Arison had never suffered long from the disabilities incident on having returned after a time at the Front. Rocktrain travel and other communications had tended to unify the speech and the ethos, though naturally the upper reaches of the Great Valley and the military zone in the mountains of the North were linguistically and sociologically somewhat isolated. In the western uplands, too, pockets of older linguistic forms and old-fashioned attitudes still remained, as the family found on its holidays. By and large, however, the whole land spoke the tongue of thecontemporary subtropical lowlands, inevitably modified of course by the onomatosyntomy or “shortmouth” of latitude.
