They
stepped
out
.
Harlan
had
never
seen
Senior
Computer
Laban
Twissell
angry
before
.
People
always
said
that
he
was
incapable
of
any
emotion
,
that
he
was
an
unsouled
fixture
of
Eternity
to
the
point
where
he
had
forgotten
the
exact
number
of
his
homewhen
Century
.
People
said
that
at
an
early
age
his
heart
had
atrophied
and
that
a
hand
computer
similar
to
the
model
he
carried
always
in
his
trouser
pocket
had
taken
its
place
.
Twissell
did
nothing
to
deny
these
rumors
.
In
fact
most
people
guessed
that
he
believed
them
himself
.
So
even
while
Harlan
bent
before
the
force
of
the
angry
blast
that
struck
him
,
he
had
room
in
his
mind
to
be
amazed
at
the
fact
that
Twissell
could
display
anger
.
He
wondered
if
Twissell
would
be
mortified
in
some
calmer
aftermath
to
realize
that
his
hand
-
computer
heart
had
betrayed
him
by
exposing
itself
as
only
a
poor
thing
of
muscle
and
valves
subject
to
the
twists
of
emotion
.
Twissell
said
,
in
part
,
his
old
voice
creaking
,
"
Father
Time
,
boy
,
are
you
on
the
Allwhen
Council
?
Do
you
give
the
orders
around
here
?
Do
you
tell
me
what
to
do
or
do
I
tell
you
what
to
do
?
Are
you
making
arrangements
for
all
kettle
trips
this
Section
?
Do
we
all
come
to
you
for
permission
now
?
"
He
interrupted
himself
with
occasional
exclamations
of
"
Answer
me
,
"
then
continued
pouring
more
questions
into
the
boiling
interrogative
caldron
.
He
said
finally
,
"
If
you
ever
get
above
yourself
this
way
again
,
I
’
ll
have
you
on
plumbing
repair
and
for
good
.
Do
you
understand
me
?
"
Harlan
,
pale
with
his
own
gathering
embarrassment
,
said
,
"
I
was
never
told
that
Cub
Cooper
was
not
to
be
taken
on
the
kettle
.
"
The
explanation
did
not
act
as
an
emollient
.
"
What
kind
of
an
excuse
is
a
double
negative
,
boy
?
You
were
never
told
not
to
get
him
drunk
.
You
were
never
told
not
to
shave
him
bald
