A few years ago, when you were in my apartment on 55th Street going over the details of my will, she bit you on the wrist. I will always recall your graceful attitude—it must have been a painful bite because she had already cut her twelve-year molars, but you merely whimpered. Today, at sixteen, she still has the distressing habit. Or at least I believe she has. As you will note from the postmark, I am out of the country and have not seen her for several weeks. "I thought that she was never leaving you. How can she come back to you?" The lantern beam again picked him out.Come away from there, laddie. Out front with me, step lively now. Unexpectedly, she said, her voice warm in his ear,Two people have become worn out today, in different ways. Utliff was one, Artet the other. Artet is a girl of my group. The cruncher got her. You know we are near the lair of the cruncher. He dragged Artet there, but her blood was already let. That puzzles Joe; but it doesnt puzzle me. Indeed, I think it’s the key to the whole mystery. Awed, Benedict retreated to his couch and sat watching the tiger. Shadows deepened and soon the only light in the room came from the creatures fierce amber eyes. It stood rooted in the corner of the room, tail lashing, looking at him yellowly. As he watched it his hands worked on the couch, flexing and relaxing, and he thought of himself on the couch, the microphone that would conduct his orders, the tiger in the corner waiting, the leashed potential that charged the room.

At last, in the dead stillness of late night or early morning, strangely happy, he brought the microphone to his lips and breathed into it tremulously. The Ox said,He might have done worse. He might have run away from the dump with a dozen bullets in him. Melanie and Erl laughed with the other million viewers, and Hip cried,Oh no, not old Hip. All you lovely people out there, you wouldnt want that, would you? They’re only kidding—I think. This will really make you sit up, Joe answered smugly. He reached into the battered briefcase he always carried and pulled out a bundle of papers. "Goodbye, dearest," Monica said. Get home, woman. Moping does not become you. I want to hear no more of your swan song, for Ive given you my final word on that. Use a theme of your own, not of man’s. I’ve said it a million times and I say it again.’ Then who was killed? The operator got old Dr. Benson and they couldnt hear one another too well, but Mose finally made the doctor understand who was calling and that he needed him and the doctor said he’d come. But they laughed, those three, and, hearing it, watching the mother tickling the younger one, watching its delighted squirming, Ed knew that in that marvelous little grouping below, perfectly lighted, perfectly staged, he was privileged to observe one of the earths most guarded secrets. He became blind to the sight of Cherpas, Gausgofer, and Gauck. He forgot the village of Ya. Ch. He forgot himself. Frenchy said nothing. Suddenly I felt more than concern for her— panic for myself. The only reason Id come here was because she could protect me. Now she could, but she wasnt interested any more.
