Harlan
watched
Twissell
stare
curiously
at
the
old
,
bound
volumes
in
the
library
and
then
take
one
down
.
They
were
so
old
that
the
fragile
paper
had
to
be
preserved
by
special
methods
and
they
creaked
under
Twissell
’
s
insufficiently
gentle
handling
.
Harlan
winced
.
In
better
times
he
would
have
ordered
Twissell
away
from
the
books
,
Senior
Computer
though
he
was
.
The
old
man
peered
through
the
crinkling
pages
and
silently
mouthed
the
archaic
words
.
"
This
is
the
English
the
linguists
are
always
talking
about
,
isn
’
t
it
?
"
he
asked
,
tapping
a
page
.
"
Yes
.
English
,
"
muttered
Harlan
.
Twissell
put
the
volume
back
.
"
Heavy
and
clumsy
.
"
Harlan
shrugged
.
To
be
sure
,
most
of
the
Centuries
of
Eternity
were
film
eras
.
A
respectable
minority
were
molecular
-
recording
eras
.
Still
,
print
and
paper
were
not
unheard
of
.
He
said
,
"
Books
don
’
t
require
the
investment
in
technology
that
films
do
.
"
Twissell
rubbed
his
chin
.
"
Quite
.
Shall
we
get
started
?
"
He
took
another
volume
down
from
the
shelf
,
opening
it
at
random
and
staring
at
the
page
with
odd
intentness
.
