Shut
up
,
Curtis
.
Didn
’
t
anyone
ever
tell
you
not
to
rush
a
first
date
?
The
Midnight
Lamp
is
fine
.
Fire
it
up
for
us
.
"
Across
the
lobby
,
adjacent
to
the
check
-
in
console
,
a
wide
section
of
the
back
wall
slid
grudgingly
aside
and
lights
flickered
on
in
the
space
beyond
.
With
Curtis
making
sneering
sounds
behind
me
,
I
went
to
the
opening
and
peered
down
a
short
flight
of
steps
into
the
Midnight
Lamp
bar
.
"
This
’
ll
do
fine
.
Come
on
.
"
Someone
overliteral
in
imagination
had
done
the
interior
decoration
of
the
Midnight
Lamp
bar
.
The
walls
,
themselves
psychedelic
whirls
of
midnight
blues
and
purples
,
were
festooned
with
a
variety
of
clock
faces
showing
either
the
declared
hour
or
a
few
minutes
to
,
interwoven
with
every
form
of
lamp
known
to
man
,
from
clay
prehistoric
to
enzyme
decay
light
canisters
.
There
was
indented
bench
seating
along
both
walls
,
clock
-
face
tables
and
in
the
centre
of
the
room
a
circular
bar
in
the
shape
of
a
countdown
dial
.
A
robot
composed
entirely
of
clocks
and
lamps
waited
immobile
just
beside
the
dial
’
s
twelve
mark
.
It
was
all
the
more
eerie
for
the
complete
absence
of
any
other
customers
,
and
as
we
made
our
way
towards
the
waiting
robot
,
I
could
feel
Curtis
’
s
earlier
mood
quieten
a
little
.
"
What
will
it
be
,
gentlemen
?
"
said
the
machine
unexpectedly
,
from
no
apparent
vocal
outlet
.
Its
face
was
an
antique
white
analogue
clock
with
spider
-
thin
baroque
hands
and
the
hours
marked
off
in
Roman
numerals
.
A
little
unnerved
,
I
turned
back
to
Curtis
,
whose
face
was
showing
signs
of
unwilling
sobriety
.
"
Vodka
,
"
he
said
shortly
.
"
Subzero
.
"
"
And
a
whisky
.
Whatever
it
is
I
’
ve
been
drinking
out
of
the
cabinet
in
my
room
.
At
room
temperature
,
please
.
Both
on
my
tab
.
"
The
clock
face
inclined
slightly
and
one
multi
-
jointed
arm
swung
up
to
select
glasses
from
an
overhead
rack
.
The
other
arm
,
which
ended
in
a
lamp
with
a
forest
of
small
spouts
,
trickled
the
requested
spirits
into
the
glasses
.
