Duke
had
Jubal
Harshaw
’
s
stereo
receiver
hooked
up
in
time
to
let
Jubal
see
a
late
rebroadcast
of
the
second
phony
interview
with
the
"
Man
from
Mars
.
"
The
commentary
included
the
rumor
about
moving
Smith
to
the
Andes
.
Jubal
put
two
and
two
together
and
got
twenty
-
two
,
after
which
he
was
busy
calling
people
until
morning
.
At
dawn
Dorcas
brought
him
his
breakfast
,
six
raw
eggs
beaten
into
brandy
.
He
slurped
them
down
while
reflecting
that
one
of
the
advantages
of
a
long
and
busy
life
was
that
eventually
a
man
got
to
know
pretty
near
everybody
of
real
importance
–
and
could
call
on
them
in
a
pinch
.
Harshaw
had
prepared
a
time
bomb
but
did
not
propose
to
trigger
it
until
the
powers
-
that
-
be
forced
him
to
do
so
.
He
had
realized
at
once
that
the
government
could
haul
Smith
back
into
captivity
on
the
grounds
that
he
was
incompetent
to
look
out
for
himself
?
an
opinion
with
which
Harshaw
agreed
His
snap
opinion
was
that
Smith
was
both
legally
insane
and
medically
psychopathic
by
all
normal
standards
,
the
victim
of
a
double
-
barreled
situational
psychosis
of
unique
and
monumental
extent
,
first
from
being
raised
by
non
-
humans
and
second
from
having
been
translated
suddenly
into
a
society
which
was
completely
alien
to
him
.
Nevertheless
he
regarded
both
the
legal
notion
of
sanity
and
the
medical
notion
of
psychosis
as
being
irrelevant
to
this
case
.
Here
was
a
human
animal
who
had
made
a
profound
and
apparently
successful
adjustment
to
an
alien
society
?
but
as
a
malleable
infant
.
Could
the
same
subject
,
as
an
adult
with
formed
habits
and
canalized
thinking
,
make
another
adjustment
just
as
radical
,
and
much
more
difficult
for
an
adult
to
make
than
for
an
infant
?
Dr
.
Harshaw
intended
to
find
out
;
it
was
the
first
time
in
decades
he
had
taken
real
interest
in
the
practice
of
medicine
.
Besides
that
,
he
was
tickled
at
the
notion
of
balking
the
powers
-
that
-
be
.
He
had
more
than
his
share
of
that
streak
of
anarchy
which
was
the
political
birthright
of
every
American
;
pitting
himself
against
the
planetary
government
fined
him
with
sharper
zest
for
living
than
he
had
felt
in
a
generation
.
Around
a
minor
G
-
type
star
fairly
far
out
toward
one
edge
of
a
medium
-
sized
galaxy
the
planets
of
that
star
swung
as
usual
,
just
as
they
had
for
billions
of
years
,
under
the
influence
of
a
slightly
modified
inverse
square
law
that
shaped
the
space
around
them
.
Three
of
them
were
big
enough
,
as
planets
go
,
to
be
noticeable
;
the
rest
were
mere
pebbles
,
concealed
in
the
fiery
skirts
of
the
primary
or
lost
in
the
black
outer
reaches
of
space
.
All
of
them
,
as
is
always
the
case
,
were
infected
with
that
oddity
of
distorted
entropy
called
life
;
in
the
cases
of
the
third
and
fourth
planets
their
surface
temperatures
cycled
around
the
freezing
point
of
hydrogen
monoxide
–
in
consequence
they
had
developed
life
forms
similar
enough
to
permit
a
degree
of
social
contact
.
On
the
fourth
pebble
out
the
ancient
Martians
were
not
in
any
important
sense
disturbed
by
the
contact
with
Earth
.
The
nymphs
of
the
race
still
bounced
joyously
around
the
surface
of
Mars
,
learning
to
live
,
and
eight
out
of
nine
of
them
dying
in
the
process
.
The
adult
Martians
,
enormously
different
in
body
and
mind
from
the
nymphs
,
still
huddled
in
or
under
the
faerie
,
graceful
cities
,
and
were
as
quiet
in
their
behavior
as
the
nymphs
were
boisterous
–
yet
were
even
busier
than
the
nymphs
,
busy
with
a
complex
and
rich
life
of
the
mind
.
The
lives
of
the
adults
were
not
entirely
free
of
work
in
the
human
sense
;
they
had
still
a
planet
to
take
care
of
and
supervise
,
plants
must
be
told
when
and
where
to
grow
,
nymphs
who
had
passed
their
‘
prenticeships
by
surviving
must
be
gathered
in
,
cherished
,
fertilized
,
the
resultant
eggs
must
be
cherished
and
contemplated
to
encourage
them
to
ripen
properly
,
the
fulfilled
nymphs
must
be
persuaded
to
give
up
childish
things
and
then
metamorphosed
into
adults
.
All
these
things
must
be
done
–
but
they
were
no
more
the
"
life
"
of
Mars
than
is
walking
the
dog
twice
a
day
the
"
life
"
of
a
man
who
controls
a
planet
-
wide
corporation
in
the
hours
between
those
pleasant
walks
?
even
though
to
a
being
from
Arcturus
III
those
daily
walks
might
seem
to
be
the
tycoon
’
s
most
significant
activity
–
no
doubt
as
a
slave
to
the
dog
.
Martians
and
humans
were
both
self
-
aware
life
forms
but
they
had
gone
in
vastly
different
directions
.
All
human
behavior
,
all
human
motivations
,
all
man
’
s
hopes
and
fears
,
were
heavily
colored
and
largely
controlled
by
mankind
’
s
tragic
and
oddly
beautiful
pattern
of
reproduction
.
The
same
was
true
of
Mars
,
but
in
mirror
corollary
.
Mars
had
the
efficient
bipolar
pattern
so
common
in
that
galaxy
,
but
the
Martians
had
it
in
a
form
so
different
from
the
Terran
form
that
it
would
have
been
termed
"
sex
"
only
by
a
biologist
,
and
it
emphatically
would
not
have
been
"
sex
"
to
a
human
psychiatrist
.
Martian
nymphs
were
female
,
all
the
adults
were
male
.
