Ah
,
"
said
Varney
.
"
Then
I
’
m
working
for
you
,
aren
’
t
I
?
"
"
Yes
,
you
are
,
"
said
Mr
.
Croup
.
"
I
’
m
afraid
we
don
’
t
have
any
redeeming
features
.
"
"
That
doesn
’
t
bother
me
,
"
said
Varney
.
"
Good
,
"
said
Mr
.
Croup
.
"
Welcome
aboard

"
It
was
a
large
but
elegant
mechanism
,
built
of
polished
walnut
and
oak
,
of
brass
and
glass
,
copper
and
mirrors
and
carved
and
inlaid
ivory
,
of
quartz
prisms
and
brass
gears
and
springs
and
cogs
.
The
whole
thing
was
rather
larger
than
a
wide
-
screen
television
,
although
the
actual
screen
itself
was
no
more
than
six
inches
across
.
A
magnifying
lens
placed
across
it
increased
the
size
of
the
picture
.
There
was
a
large
brass
horn
coming
out
of
the
side
—
the
kind
you
could
find
on
an
antique
gramophone
.
The
whole
mechanism
looked
rather
like
a
combined
television
and
video
player
might
look
,
if
it
had
been
invented
and
built
three
hundred
years
ago
by
Sir
Isaac
Newton
.
Which
was
,
more
or
less
,
exactly
what
it
was
.
"
Watch
,
"
said
Door
.
She
placed
the
wooden
ball
onto
a
platform
.
Lights
shone
through
the
machine
and
into
the
ball
.
It
began
to
spin
around
and
around
,
A
patrician
face
appeared
on
the
small
screen
,
vividly
colored
.
Slightly
out
of
time
,
a
voice
came
from
the
horn
,
crackling
in
mid
-
speech
.
"
.
.
.
that
two
cities
should
be
so
near
,
"
said
the
voice
,
"
and
yet
in
all
things
so
far
;
the
possessors
above
us
,
and
the
dispossessed
,
we
who
live
below
and
between
,
who
live
in
the
cracks
.
"
Door
stared
at
the
screen
,
her
face
unreadable
.
"
.
.
.
still
,
"
said
her
father
,
"
I
am
of
the
opinion
that
what
cripples
us
,
who
inhabit
the
Underside
,
is
our
petty
factionalism
.
The
system
of
baronies
and
fiefdoms
is
both
divisive
and
foolish
.
"
The
Lord
Portico
was
wearing
a
threadbare
old
smoking
jacket
and
a
skullcap
.
His
voice
seemed
to
be
coming
to
them
across
the
centuries
,
not
days
or
weeks
.
He
coughed
.
"
I
am
not
alone
in
this
belief
.
There
are
those
who
wish
to
see
things
the
way
they
are
.
There
are
others
who
want
the
situation
to
worsen
.
There
are
those
.
.
.
