"
I
beg
your
pardon
?
"
said
the
old
man
mildly
.
"
Oh
nothing
,
"
said
Arthur
,
"
only
joking
.
"
It
is
of
course
well
known
that
careless
talk
costs
lives
,
but
the
full
scale
of
the
problem
is
not
always
appreciated
.

For
instance
,
at
the
very
moment
that
Arthur
said
"
I
seem
to
be
having
tremendous
difficulty
with
my
lifestyle
,
"
a
freak
wormhole
opened
up
in
the
fabric
of
the
space-time
continuum
and
carried
his
words
far
far
back
in
time
across
almost
infinite
reaches
of
space
to
a
distant
Galaxy
where
strange
and
warlike
beings
were
poised
on
the
brink
of
frightful
interstellar
battle
.
The
two
opposing
leaders
were
meeting
for
the
last
time
.
A
dreadful
silence
fell
across
the
conference
table
as
the
commander
of
the
Vl
'
hurgs
,
resplendent
in
his
black
jewelled
battle
shorts
,
gazed
levelly
at
the
G'Gugvuntt
leader
squatting
opposite
him
in
a
cloud
of
green
sweet-smelling
steam
,
and
,
with
a
million
sleek
and
horribly
beweaponed
star
cruisers
poised
to
unleash
electric
death
at
his
single
word
of
command
,
challenged
the
vile
creature
to
take
back
what
it
had
said
about
his
mother
.
The
creature
stirred
in
his
sickly
broiling
vapour
,
and
at
that
very
moment
the
words
I
seem
to
be
having
tremendous
difficulty
with
my
lifestyle
drifted
across
the
conference
table
.

Unfortunately
,
in
the
Vl
'
hurg
tongue
this
was
the
most
dreadful
insult
imaginable
,
and
there
was
nothing
for
it
but
to
wage
terrible
war
for
centuries
.
Eventually
of
course
,
after
their
Galaxy
had
been
decimated
over
a
few
thousand
years
,
it
was
realized
that
the
whole
thing
had
been
a
ghastly
mistake
,
and
so
the
two
opposing
battle
fleets
settled
their
few
remaining
differences
in
order
to
launch
a
joint
attack
on
our
own
Galaxy
--
now
positively
identified
as
the
source
of
the
offending
remark
.
For
thousands
more
years
the
mighty
ships
tore
across
the
empty
wastes
of
space
and
finally
dived
screaming
on
to
the
first
planet
they
came
across
--
which
happened
to
be
the
Earth
--
where
due
to
a
terrible
miscalculation
of
scale
the
entire
battle
fleet
was
accidentally
swallowed
by
a
small
dog
.
