I
’
m
not
suggesting
anything
.
People
get
hurt
every
day
.
This
matter
must
be
cleared
up
,
Joseph
,
for
everybody
.
The
greatest
good
of
the
greatest
number
,
as
you
are
so
fond
of
quoting
.
"
"
But
I
don
’
t
want
to
see
the
lad
hurt
.
"
"
Who
said
anything
about
hurting
him
?
But
you
must
take
firm
steps
,
Joseph
;
it
’
s
your
duty
.
History
will
justify
you
.
Which
is
more
important
?
–
to
keep
things
running
on
an
even
keel
for
five
billion
people
,
or
to
go
soft
and
sentimental
about
one
man
who
isn
’
t
even
properly
a
citizen
?

Douglas
didn

t
answer
.
Mrs
.
Douglas
stood
up
.
"
Well
,
I
can
’
t
waste
the
rest
of
the
morning
arguing
intangibles
with
you
,
Joseph
;
I
’
ve
got
to
get
hold
of
Madame
Vesant
at
once
and
have
a
new
horoscope
cast
for
this
emergency
.
But
I
can
tell
you
this
:
I
didn
’
t
give
the
best
years
of
my
life
putting
you
where
you
are
today
just
to
have
you
throw
it
away
through
lack
of
backbone
.
Wipe
the
egg
off
your
chin
.

She
turned
and
left
.
The
chief
executive
of
the
planet
remained
at
the
table
through
two
more
cups
of
coffee
before
he
felt
up
to
going
to
the
Council
Chamber
.
Poor
old
Agnes
!
So
ambitious
.
He
guessed
he
had
been
quite
a
disappointment
to
her
?
and
no
doubt
the
change
of
life
wasn
’
t
making
things
any
easier
for
her
.
Well
,
at
least
she
was
loyal
,
right
to
her
toes
?
and
we
all
have
our
shortcomings
;
she
was
probably
as
sick
of
him
as
he
–
no
point
in
that
!
He
straightened
up
.
One
damn
sure
thing
!
He
wasn
’
t
going
to
let
them
he
rough
with
that
Smith
lad
.
He
was
a
nuisance
,
granted
,
but
he
was
a
nice
lad
and
rather
appealing
in
a
helpless
,
half
-
witted
way
.
Agnes
should
have
seen
how
easily
he
was
frightened
,
then
she
wouldn
’
t
talk
that
way
.
Smith
would
appeal
to
the
maternal
in
her
.
But
as
a
matter
of
strict
fact
,
did
Agnes
have
any
"
maternal
"
in
her
?
When
she
set
her
mouth
that
way
,
it
was
hard
to
see
it
.
Oh
shucks
,
all
women
had
maternal
instincts
;
science
had
proved
that
.
Well
,
hadn
’
t
they
?
Anyhow
,
damn
her
guts
,
he
wasn
’
t
going
to
let
her
push
him
around
.
She
kept
reminding
him
that
she
had
put
him
into
the
top
spot
,
but
he
knew
better
,
and
the
responsibility
was
his
and
his
alone
.
He
got
up
,
squared
his
shoulders
,
pulled
in
part
of
his
middle
,
and
went
to
the
Council
Chamber
.
