To
Harlan
the
house
was
already
a
ghost
,
a
premature
specter
that
had
begun
its
hauntings
before
it
had
actually
died
.
And
because
the
house
,
as
it
was
,
meant
a
great
deal
to
him
,
he
found
he
resented
its
passing
and
mourned
it
.
Once
,
only
,
in
five
trips
had
there
been
any
sound
to
break
the
stillness
during
his
prowlings
.
He
was
in
the
pantry
,
then
,
thankful
that
the
technology
of
that
Reality
and
Century
had
made
servants
unfashionable
and
removed
a
problem
.
He
had
,
he
recalled
,
chosen
among
the
cans
of
prepared
foods
,
and
was
just
deciding
that
he
had
enough
for
one
trip
,
and
that
Noys
would
be
pleased
indeed
to
intersperse
the
hearty
but
uncolorful
basic
diet
provided
in
the
empty
Section
with
some
of
her
own
dietary
.
He
even
laughed
aloud
to
think
that
not
long
before
he
had
thought
her
diet
decadent
.
It
was
in
the
middle
of
the
laugh
that
he
heard
a
distinct
clapping
noise
.
He
froze
!
The
sound
had
come
from
somewhere
behind
him
,
and
in
the
startled
moment
during
which
he
had
not
moved
the
lesser
danger
that
it
was
a
housebreaker
occurred
to
him
first
and
the
greater
danger
of
its
being
an
investigating
Eternal
occurred
second
.
It
couldn
’
t
be
a
housebreaker
.
The
entire
period
of
the
spatio
-
temporal
chart
,
grace
period
and
all
,
had
been
painstakingly
cleared
and
chosen
out
of
other
similar
periods
of
Time
because
of
the
lack
of
complicating
factors
.
On
the
other
hand
,
he
had
introduced
a
micro
-
Change
(
perhaps
not
so
micro
at
that
)
by
abstracting
Noys
.
Heart
pounding
,
he
forced
himself
to
turn
.
It
seemed
to
him
that
the
door
behind
him
had
just
closed
,
moving
the
last
millimeter
required
to
bring
it
flush
with
the
wall
.
He
repressed
the
impulse
to
open
that
door
,
to
search
the
house
.
With
Noys
’
s
delicacies
in
tow
he
returned
to
Eternity
and
waited
two
full
days
for
repercussions
before
venturing
into
the
far
upwhen
.
There
were
none
and
eventually
he
forgot
the
incident
.
But
now
,
as
he
adjusted
the
controls
to
enter
Time
this
one
last
time
,
he
thought
of
it
again
.
Or
perhaps
it
was
the
thought
of
the
Change
,
nearly
upon
him
now
,
that
preyed
on
him
.
Looking
back
on
the
moment
later
on
,
he
felt
that
it
was
one
or
the
other
that
caused
him
to
misadjust
the
controls
.
He
could
think
of
no
other
excuse
.
