"
I
understand
,
"
said
Lanning
,
mechanically
.
He
stared
at
his
fingernails
.
"
I
have
had
occasion
,
"
continued
Quinn
,
evenly
,
"
in
the
past
year
to
investigate
Mr.
Byerley
--
quite
exhaustively
.
It
is
always
useful
,
you
see
,
to
subject
the
past
life
of
reform
politicians
to
rather
inquisitive
research
.
If
you
knew
how
often
it
helped
-
"
He
paused
to
smile
humorlessly
at
the
glowing
tip
of
his
cigarette
.
"
But
Mr.
Byerley
's
past
is
unremarkable
.
A
quiet
life
in
a
small
town
,
a
college
education
,
a
wife
who
died
young
,
an
auto
accident
with
a
slow
recovery
,
law
school
,
coming
to
the
metropolis
,
an
attorney
.
"
Francis
Quinn
shook
his
head
slowly
,
then
added
,
"
But
his
present
life
.
Ah
,
that
is
remarkable
.
Our
district
attorney
never
eats
!
"
Lanning
's
head
snapped
up
,
old
eyes
surprisingly
sharp
,
"
Pardon
me
?
"
"
Our
district
attorney
never
eats
.
"
The
repetition
thumped
by
syllables
.
"
I
'll
modify
that
slightly
.
He
has
never
been
seen
to
eat
or
drink
.
Never
!
Do
you
understand
the
significance
of
the
word
?
Not
rarely
,
but
never
!
"
"
I
find
that
quite
incredible
.
Can
you
trust
your
investigators
?
"
"
I
can
trust
my
investigators
,
and
I
do
n't
find
it
incredible
at
all
.
Further
,
our
district
attorney
has
never
been
seen
to
drink
-
in
the
aqueous
sense
as
well
as
the
alcoholic
-
nor
to
sleep
.
There
are
other
factors
,
but
I
should
think
I
have
made
my
point
.
"
Lanning
leaned
back
in
his
seat
,
and
there
was
the
rapt
silence
of
challenge
and
response
between
them
,
and
then
the
old
roboticist
shook
his
head
.
"
No
.
There
is
only
one
thing
you
can
be
trying
to
imply
,
if
I
couple
your
statements
with
the
fact
that
you
present
them
to
me
,
and
that
is
impossible
.
"
"
But
the
man
is
quite
inhuman
,
Dr.
Lanning
.
