For
a
time
he
contented
himself
with
sipping
his
drink
and
keeping
on
his
face
an
artificial
expression
of
enjoyment
.
I
must
follow
their
leads
entirely
,
he
told
himself
.
Agree
always
.
Yet
in
a
panic
he
thought
,
My
wits
scrambled
by
the
drink
.
And
fatigue
and
nervousness
.
Can
I
do
it
?
I
will
never
be
invited
back
anyhow
;
it
is
already
too
late
.
He
felt
despair
.
Betty
,
having
returned
from
the
kitchen
,
had
once
more
seated
herself
on
the
carpet
.
How
attractive
,
Robert
Childan
thought
again
.
The
slender
body
.
Their
figures
are
so
superior
;
not
fat
,
not
bulbous
.
No
bra
or
girdle
needed
.
I
must
conceal
my
longing
;
that
at
all
costs
.
And
yet
now
and
then
he
let
himself
steal
a
glance
at
her
.
Lovely
dark
colors
of
her
skin
,
hair
,
and
eyes
.
We
are
half
-
baked
compared
to
them
.
Allowed
out
of
the
kiln
before
we
were
fully
done
.
The
old
aboriginal
myth
;
the
truth
,
there
.
I
must
divert
my
thoughts
.
Find
social
item
,
anything
.
His
eyes
strayed
about
,
seeking
some
topic
.
The
silence
reigned
heavily
,
making
his
tension
sizzle
.
Unbearable
.
What
the
hell
to
say
?
Something
safe
.
His
eyes
made
out
a
book
on
a
low
black
teak
cabinet
.
"
I
see
you
’
re
reading
The
Grasshopper
Lies
Heavy
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
hear
it
on
many
lips
,
but
pressure
of
business
prevents
my
own
attention
.
"
Rising
,
he
went
to
pick
it
up
,
carefully
consulting
their
expressions
;
they
seemed
to
acknowledge
this
gesture
of
sociality
,
and
so
he
proceeded
.
"
A
mystery
?
Excuse
my
abysmal
ignorance
.
"
He
turned
the
pages
.
"
Not
a
mystery
,
"
Paul
said
.
"
On
contrary
,
interesting
form
of
fiction
possibly
within
genre
of
science
fiction
.
"
"
Oh
no
,
"
Betty
disagreed
.
"
No
science
in
it
.
Nor
set
in
future
.
Science
fiction
deals
with
future
,
in
particular
future
where
science
has
advanced
over
now
.
Book
fits
neither
premise
.
"
"
But
,
"
Paul
said
,
"
it
deals
with
alternate
present
.
Many
well
-
known
science
fiction
novels
of
that
sort
.
"
To
Robert
he
explained
,
"
Pardon
my
insistence
in
this
,
but
as
my
wife
knows
,
I
was
for
a
long
time
a
science
fiction
enthusiast
.
I
began
that
hobby
early
in
my
life
;
I
was
merely
twelve
.
It
was
during
the
early
days
of
the
war
.
"
"
I
see
,
"
Robert
Childan
said
,
with
politeness
.
