Even
the
twin
discovery
that
Smith
had
taught
himself
to
read
with
the
speed
of
electronic
scanning
and
appeared
to
have
total
recall
of
all
that
he
read
did
not
tempt
Jubal
Harshaw
to
make
a
"
project
"
of
Smith
,
one
with
controls
,
measurements
,
and
curves
of
progress
.
Harshaw
had
the
arrogant
humility
of
the
man
who
has
learned
so
much
that
he
is
aware
of
his
own
ignorance
and
he
saw
no
point
in
"
measurements
"
when
he
did
not
know
what
he
was
measuring
.
Instead
he
limited
himself
to
notes
made
privately
,
without
even
any
intention
of
publishing
his
observations
.
But
,
while
Harshaw
enjoyed
watching
this
unique
animal
develop
into
a
mimicry
copy
of
a
human
being
,
his
pleasure
afforded
him
no
happiness
.
Like
Secretary
General
Douglas
,
Harshaw
was
waiting
for
the
other
shoe
to
drop
.
Waiting
with
increasing
tenseness
.
Having
found
himself
coerced
into
action
by
the
expectation
of
action
against
him
on
the
part
of
the
government
,
it
annoyed
and
exasperated
him
that
nothing
as
yet
had
happened
.
Damn
it
,
were
the
Federation
cops
so
stupid
that
they
couldn
’
t
track
an
unsophisticated
girl
dragging
an
unconscious
man
all
across
the
countryside
?
Or
(
as
seemed
more
likely
)
had
they
been
on
her
heels
the
whole
way
?
–
and
even
now
were
keeping
a
stake
-
out
on
his
place
?
The
latter
thought
was
infuriating
;
to
Harshaw
the
notion
that
the
government
might
be
spying
on
his
home
,
his
castle
,
with
anything
from
binoculars
to
radar
,
was
as
repulsive
as
the
idea
of
having
his
mail
opened
.
And
they
might
be
doing
that
too
,
he
reminded
himself
morosely
.
Government
!
Three
fourths
parasitic
and
the
other
fourth
stupid
fumbling
–
oh
,
he
conceded
that
man
,
a
social
animal
,
could
not
avoid
having
government
,
any
more
than
an
individual
man
could
escape
his
lifelong
bondage
to
his
bowels
.
But
Harshaw
did
not
have
to
like
it
.
Simply
because
an
evil
was
inescapable
was
no
reason
to
term
it
a
"
good
.
"
He
wished
that
government
would
wander
off
and
get
lost
?
But
it
was
certainly
possible
,
or
even
probable
,
that
the
administration
knew
exactly
where
the
Man
from
Mars
was
hiding
?
and
for
reasons
of
their
own
preferred
to
leave
it
that
way
,
while
they
prepared
–
what
?
If
so
,
how
long
would
it
go
on
?
And
how
long
could
he
keep
his
defensive
"
time
bomb
"
armed
and
ready
?
And
where
the
devil
was
that
reckless
young
idiot
Ben
Caxton
?
Jill
Boardman
forced
him
out
of
his
spiritual
thumb
-
twiddling
.
"
Jubal
?
