He
led
them
into
the
kettle
,
picking
his
way
among
the
piled
supplies
,
and
pointed
out
the
obtruding
finger
of
metal
that
now
marred
the
smooth
inner
wall
of
the
kettle
.
"
It
amounts
to
the
installation
of
a
simple
switch
,
"
he
said
.
"
Instead
of
returning
automatically
to
Eternity
,
the
kettle
will
remain
in
the
Primitive
indefinitely
.
Once
the
lever
is
plunged
home
,
however
,
you
will
return
.
There
will
then
be
the
matter
of
the
second
and
,
I
hope
,
final
trip
-
"
"
A
second
trip
?
"
asked
Noys
at
once
.
Harlan
said
,
"
I
haven
’
t
explained
that
.
Look
,
this
first
trip
is
intended
merely
to
fix
the
time
of
Cooper
’
s
arrival
precisely
.
We
don
’
t
know
how
long
a
Time
-
lapse
exists
between
his
arrival
and
the
placing
of
the
advertisement
.
We
’
ll
reach
him
by
the
post
-
office
box
,
and
learn
,
if
possible
,
the
exact
minute
of
his
arrival
,
or
as
close
as
we
can
,
anyway
.
We
can
then
return
to
that
moment
plus
fifteen
minutes
to
allow
for
the
kettle
to
have
left
Cooper
-
"
Twissell
interposed
,
"
Couldn
’
t
have
the
kettle
in
the
same
place
at
the
same
time
in
two
different
physiotimes
,
you
know
,
"
and
tried
to
smile
.
Noys
seemed
to
absorb
it
.
"
I
see
,
"
she
said
,
not
too
definitely
.
Twissell
said
to
Noys
,
"
Picking
up
Cooper
at
the
time
of
his
arrival
will
reverse
all
micro
-
changes
.
The
A
-
bomb
advertisement
will
disappear
again
and
Cooper
will
know
only
that
the
kettle
,
having
disappeared
as
we
told
him
it
would
,
had
unexpectedly
appeared
again
.
He
will
not
know
that
he
was
in
the
wrong
Century
and
he
will
not
be
told
.
We
will
tell
him
that
there
was
some
vital
instruction
we
had
forgotten
to
give
him
(
we
’
ll
have
to
manufacture
some
)
and
we
can
only
hope
that
he
will
regard
the
matter
as
so
unimportant
that
he
won
’
t
mention
being
sent
back
twice
when
he
writes
his
memoir
.
"
Noys
lifted
her
plucked
eyebrows
.
"
It
’
s
very
complicated
.
"
"
Yes
.
Unfortunately
.
"
He
rubbed
his
hands
together
and
looked
at
the
others
as
though
nursing
an
inner
doubt
.
Then
he
straightened
,
produced
a
fresh
cigarette
,
and
even
managed
a
certain
jauntiness
as
he
said
,
"
And
now
,
boy
,
good
luck
.
"
Twissell
touched
hands
briefly
with
Harlan
,
nodded
to
Noys
,
and
stepped
out
of
the
kettle
.
