Twissell
,
who
seemed
lost
in
his
own
telling
of
the
tale
,
his
eyes
peering
through
a
haze
of
bluish
tobacco
smoke
,
came
slowly
to
life
.
His
old
,
wise
eyes
fixed
themselves
on
Harlan
and
he
said
reproachfully
,
"
No
,
of
course
not
.
There
was
a
lapse
of
decades
of
physiotime
between
Cooper
’
s
stay
in
Eternity
and
the
moment
when
he
wrote
his
memoir
.
He
could
remember
only
so
much
,
and
only
what
he
himself
had
witnessed
.
You
should
realize
that
.
"
Twissell
sighed
and
he
drew
a
gnarled
finger
through
a
line
of
updrafting
smoke
,
breaking
it
into
little
turbulent
swirls
.
"
It
worked
itself
out
.
First
,
I
was
found
and
brought
to
Eternity
.
When
,
in
the
fullness
of
physiotime
,
I
became
a
Senior
Computer
,
I
was
given
the
memoir
and
placed
in
charge
.
I
had
been
described
as
in
charge
,
so
I
was
placed
in
charge
.
Again
in
the
fullness
of
physiotime
,
you
appeared
in
the
changing
of
a
Reality
(
we
had
watched
your
earlier
analogues
carefully
)
,
and
then
Cooper
.
"
I
filled
in
the
details
by
using
my
common
sense
and
the
services
of
the
Computaplex
.
How
carefully
,
for
instance
,
we
instructed
Educator
Yarrow
in
his
part
while
betraying
none
of
the
significant
truth
.
How
carefully
,
in
his
turn
,
he
stimulated
your
interest
in
the
Primitive
.
"
How
carefully
we
had
had
to
keep
Cooper
from
learning
anything
he
did
not
prove
he
had
learned
by
reference
in
the
memoir
.
"
Twissell
smiled
sadly
.
"
Sennor
amuses
himself
with
matters
such
as
this
.
He
calls
it
the
reversal
of
cause
and
effect
.
Knowing
the
effect
,
one
adjusts
the
cause
.
Fortunately
,
I
am
not
the
cobweb
spinner
Sennor
is
.
"
I
was
pleased
,
boy
,
to
find
you
so
excellent
an
Observer
and
Technician
.
The
memoir
had
not
mentioned
that
since
Cooper
had
no
opportunity
to
observe
your
work
or
evaluate
it
.
This
suited
me
.
I
could
use
you
in
a
more
ordinary
task
that
would
make
your
essential
one
less
noticeable
.
Even
your
recent
stay
with
Computer
Finge
fitted
in
.
Cooper
mentioned
a
period
of
your
absence
during
which
his
mathematical
studies
were
so
sharpened
that
he
longed
for
your
return
.
Once
,
though
,
you
frightened
me
.
"
Harlan
said
,
at
once
,
"
You
mean
the
time
I
took
Cooper
along
the
kettle
ways
.
"
"
How
do
you
come
to
guess
that
?
"
demanded
Twissell
.
"
It
was
the
one
time
you
were
really
angry
with
me
.
I
suppose
now
it
went
against
something
in
the
Mallansohn
memoir
.
"
"
Not
quite
.
It
was
just
that
the
memoir
did
not
speak
of
the
kettles
.
It
seemed
to
me
that
to
avoid
mention
of
such
an
outstanding
aspect
of
Eternity
meant
he
had
little
experience
with
it
.
It
was
my
intention
therefore
to
keep
him
away
from
the
kettles
as
much
as
possible
.
The
fact
that
you
had
taken
him
upwhen
in
one
disturbed
me
greatly
,
but
nothing
happened
afterward
.
Things
continued
as
they
should
,
so
all
is
well
.
