It
involved
a
woman
,
of
course
,
as
your
affair
did
.
That
’
s
not
coincidence
.
It
’
s
almost
inevitable
,
if
you
stop
to
think
of
it
.
An
Eternal
,
who
must
sell
the
normal
satisfactions
of
family
life
for
a
handful
of
perforations
on
foil
,
is
ripe
for
infection
.
That
’
s
one
of
the
reasons
Eternity
must
take
the
precautions
it
does
.
And
,
apparently
,
that
’
s
also
why
Eternals
are
so
ingenious
in
evading
the
precautions
once
in
a
while
.
I
remember
my
woman
.
It
’
s
foolish
of
me
to
do
so
,
perhaps
.
I
can
’
t
remember
anything
else
about
that
physiotime
.
My
old
colleagues
are
only
names
in
the
record
books
;
the
Changes
I
supervised
-
all
but
one
-
are
only
items
in
the
Computaplex
memory
pools
.
I
remember
her
,
though
,
very
well
.
Perhaps
you
can
understand
that
.
I
had
had
a
long
-
standing
request
for
liaison
in
the
books
;
and
after
I
achieved
status
as
a
Junior
Computer
,
she
was
assigned
to
me
.
She
was
a
girl
of
this
very
Century
,
the
575th
.
I
didn
’
t
see
her
until
after
the
assignment
,
of
course
.
She
was
intelligent
and
kind
.
Not
beautiful
or
even
pretty
,
but
then
,
even
when
young
(
yes
,
I
was
young
,
never
mind
the
myths
)
I
was
not
noted
for
my
own
looks
.
We
were
well
suited
to
one
another
by
temperament
,
she
and
I
,
and
if
I
were
a
Timed
man
,
I
would
have
been
proud
to
have
her
as
my
wife
.
I
told
her
that
many
times
.
I
believe
it
pleased
her
.
I
know
it
was
the
truth
.
Not
all
Eternals
,
who
must
take
their
women
as
and
how
Computing
permits
,
are
that
fortunate
.
In
that
particular
Reality
,
she
was
to
die
young
,
of
course
,
and
none
of
her
analogues
was
available
for
liaison
.
At
first
,
I
took
that
philosophically
.
After
all
,
it
was
her
short
lifetime
which
made
it
possible
for
her
to
live
with
me
without
deleteriously
affecting
Reality
.
I
am
ashamed
of
that
now
,
of
the
fact
that
I
was
glad
she
had
a
short
time
to
live
.
Just
at
first
,
that
is
.
Just
at
first
.
I
visited
her
as
often
as
spatio
-
temporal
charting
allowed
.
I
squeezed
every
minute
out
of
it
,
giving
up
meals
and
sleep
when
necessary
,
shifting
my
labor
load
shamelessly
whenever
I
could
.
Her
amiability
passed
the
heights
of
my
expectations
,
and
I
was
in
love
.
I
put
it
bluntly
.
My
experience
of
love
is
very
small
,
and
understanding
it
through
Observation
in
Time
is
a
shaky
matter
.
As
far
as
my
understanding
went
,
however
,
I
was
in
love
.
What
began
as
the
satisfaction
of
an
emotional
and
physical
need
became
a
great
deal
more
.
Her
imminent
death
stopped
being
a
convenience
and
became
a
calamity
.
I
Life
-
Plotted
her
.
I
didn
’
t
go
to
the
Life
-
Plotting
departments
,
either
.
I
did
it
myself
.
That
surprises
you
,
I
imagine
.
It
was
a
misdemeanor
,
but
it
was
nothing
compared
to
the
crimes
I
committed
later
.
