And
while
he
was
having
his
bath
I
considered
the
entire
question
alone
.
It
was
clear
there
were
drawbacks
to
Mr.
Cavor
's
society
I
had
not
foreseen
.
The
absentmindedness
that
had
just
escaped
depopulating
the
terrestrial
globe
,
might
at
any
moment
result
in
some
other
grave
inconvenience
.
On
the
other
hand
I
was
young
,
my
affairs
were
in
a
mess
,
and
I
was
in
just
the
mood
for
reckless
adventure
--
with
a
chance
of
something
good
at
the
end
of
it
.
I
had
quite
settled
in
my
mind
that
I
was
to
have
half
at
least
in
that
aspect
of
the
affair
.
Fortunately
I
held
my
bungalow
,
as
I
have
already
explained
,
on
a
three-year
agreement
,
without
being
responsible
for
repairs
;
and
my
furniture
,
such
as
there
was
of
it
,
had
been
hastily
purchased
,
was
unpaid
for
,
insured
,
and
altogether
devoid
of
associations
.
In
the
end
I
decided
to
keep
on
with
him
,
and
see
the
business
through
.
Certainly
the
aspect
of
things
had
changed
very
greatly
.
I
no
longer
doubted
at
all
the
enormous
possibilities
of
the
substance
,
but
I
began
to
have
doubts
about
the
gun-carriage
and
the
patent
boots
.
We
set
to
work
at
once
to
reconstruct
his
laboratory
and
proceed
with
our
experiments
.
Cavor
talked
more
on
my
level
than
he
had
ever
done
before
,
when
it
came
to
the
question
of
how
we
should
make
the
stuff
next
.
"
Of
course
we
must
make
it
again
,
"
he
said
,
with
a
sort
of
glee
I
had
not
expected
in
him
,
"
of
course
we
must
make
it
again
.
We
have
caught
a
Tartar
,
perhaps
,
but
we
have
left
the
theoretical
behind
us
for
good
and
all
.
If
we
can
possibly
avoid
wrecking
this
little
planet
of
ours
,
we
will
.
But
--
there
must
be
risks
!
There
must
be
.
In
experimental
work
there
always
are
.
And
here
,
as
a
practical
man
,
you
must
come
in
For
my
own
part
it
seems
to
me
we
might
make
it
edgeways
,
perhaps
,
and
very
thin
.
Yet
I
do
n't
know
.
I
have
a
certain
dim
perception
of
another
method
.
I
can
hardly
explain
it
yet
.
But
curiously
enough
it
came
into
my
mind
,
while
I
was
rolling
over
and
over
in
the
mud
before
the
wind
,
and
very
doubtful
how
the
whole
adventure
was
to
end
,
as
being
absolutely
the
thing
I
ought
to
have
done
.
"
Even
with
my
aid
we
found
some
little
difficulty
,
and
meanwhile
we
kept
at
work
restoring
the
laboratory
.
There
was
plenty
to
do
before
it
became
absolutely
necessary
to
decide
upon
the
precise
form
and
method
of
our
second
attempt
.
Our
only
hitch
was
the
strike
of
the
three
labourers
,
who
objected
to
my
activity
as
a
foreman
.
But
that
matter
we
compromised
after
two
days
'
delay
.
I
remember
the
occasion
very
distinctly
when
Cavor
told
me
of
his
idea
of
the
sphere
.
He
had
had
intimations
of
it
before
,
but
at
the
time
it
seemed
to
come
to
him
in
a
rush
.
We
were
returning
to
the
bungalow
for
tea
,
and
on
the
way
he
fell
humming
.
Suddenly
he
shouted
,
"
That
's
it
!
That
finishes
it
!
A
sort
of
roller
blind
!
"
"
Finishes
what
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Space
--
anywhere
!
The
moon
.
"
"
What
do
you
mean
?
"
