The
Council
will
never
know
.
"
"
Would
you
be
willing
to
break
the
laws
?
You
’
re
the
ideal
Eternal
.
With
the
danger
gone
,
you
would
obey
the
law
.
You
couldn
’
t
act
otherwise
.
"
Twissell
reddened
blotchily
,
high
on
each
cheekbone
.
From
the
old
face
all
shrewdness
and
strength
drained
away
.
There
was
left
only
a
strange
sorrow
.
"
I
will
keep
my
word
to
you
and
break
the
law
,
"
said
Twissell
,
"
for
a
reason
you
don
’
t
imagine
.
I
don
’
t
know
how
much
time
is
left
us
before
Eternity
disappears
.
It
could
be
hours
;
it
could
be
months
.
But
I
have
spent
so
much
time
in
the
hope
of
bringing
you
to
reason
that
I
will
spend
a
little
more
.
Will
you
listen
to
me
?
Please
?
"
Harlan
hesitated
.
Then
,
out
of
a
conviction
of
the
uselessness
of
all
things
as
much
as
out
of
anything
else
said
wearily
,
"
Go
on
.
"
I
have
heard
(
began
Twissell
)
that
I
was
born
old
,
that
I
cut
my
teeth
on
a
Micro
-
Computaplex
,
that
I
keep
my
hand
computer
in
a
special
pocket
of
my
pajamas
when
I
sleep
,
that
my
brain
is
made
up
of
little
force
-
relays
in
endless
parallel
hookups
and
that
each
corpuscle
of
my
blood
is
a
microscopic
spatio
-
temporal
chart
floating
in
computer
oil
.
All
these
stories
come
to
me
eventually
,
and
I
think
I
must
be
a
little
proud
of
them
.
Maybe
I
go
around
believing
them
a
bit
.
It
’
s
a
foolish
thing
for
an
old
man
to
do
,
but
it
makes
life
a
little
easier
.
Does
that
surprise
you
?
That
I
must
find
a
way
to
make
life
easier
?
I
,
Senior
Computer
Twissell
,
senior
member
of
the
Allwhen
Council
?
Maybe
that
’
s
why
I
smoke
.
Ever
think
of
that
?
I
have
to
have
a
reason
,
you
know
.
Eternity
is
essentially
an
unsmoking
society
,
and
most
of
Time
is
,
too
.
I
’
ve
thought
of
that
often
.
I
sometimes
think
it
’
s
a
rebellion
against
Eternity
.
Something
to
take
the
place
of
a
greater
rebellion
that
failed
…
No
,
it
’
s
all
right
.
A
tear
or
two
won
’
t
hurt
me
,
and
it
isn
’
t
pretense
,
believe
me
.
It
’
s
just
that
I
haven
’
t
thought
about
this
for
a
long
time
.
It
isn
’
t
pleasant
.
