She
shrugged
.
"
I
suppose
so
.
A
girl
can
’
t
be
fussy
these
days
.
"
She
went
back
to
her
duty
station
,
found
that
her
services
were
not
in
immediate
demand
,
picked
up
the
pass
key
.
She
was
balked
but
not
beaten
,
as
she
recalled
that
suite
K
-
12
had
a
door
joining
it
to
the
room
beyond
it
,
a
room
sometimes
used
as
a
sitting
room
when
the
suite
was
occupied
by
a
Very
Important
Person
.
The
room
was
not
then
in
use
,
either
as
part
of
the
suite
or
separately
.
She
let
herself
into
it
.
The
guards
at
the
door
beyond
paid
no
attention
,
unaware
that
they
had
been
flanked
.
She
hesitated
at
the
inner
door
between
the
two
rooms
,
feeling
some
of
the
sharp
excitement
she
used
to
feel
when
sneaking
out
of
student
nurses
’
quarters
.
But
,
she
told
herself
,
Dr
.
Nelson
was
asleep
and
Tad
wouldn
’
t
tell
on
her
even
if
he
caught
her
.
She
didn
’
t
blame
him
for
keeping
his
finger
on
his
number
-
but
he
wouldn
’
t
report
her
.
She
unlocked
the
door
and
looked
in
.
The
patient
was
in
bed
,
he
looked
at
her
as
the
door
opened
.
Her
first
impression
was
that
here
was
a
patient
too
far
gone
to
care
.
His
lack
of
expression
seemed
to
show
the
complete
apathy
of
the
desperately
ill
.
Then
she
saw
that
his
eyes
were
alive
with
interest
;
she
wondered
if
his
face
were
paralysed
?
No
,
she
decided
;
the
typical
sags
were
lacking
.
She
assumed
her
professional
manner
.
"
Well
,
how
are
we
today
?
Feeling
better
?
"
Smith
translated
and
examined
the
questions
.
The
inclusion
of
herself
in
the
first
query
was
confusing
,
but
he
decided
that
it
might
symbolize
a
wish
to
cherish
and
grow
close
.
The
second
part
matched
Nelson
’
s
speech
forms
.
"
Yes
,
"
he
answered
.
"
Good
!
"
Aside
from
his
odd
lack
of
expression
she
saw
nothing
strange
about
him
-
and
if
women
were
unknown
to
him
,
he
was
certainly
managing
to
conceal
it
.
"
Is
there
anything
I
can
do
for
you
?
"
She
glanced
around
,
noted
that
there
was
no
glass
on
the
bedside
shelf
.
"
May
I
get
you
water
?
"
Smith
had
spotted
at
once
that
this
creature
was
different
from
the
others
who
had
come
to
see
him
.
Almost
as
quickly
he
compared
what
he
was
seeing
with
pictures
Nelson
had
shown
him
on
the
trip
from
home
to
this
place
-
pictures
intended
to
explain
a
particularly
difficult
and
puzzling
configuration
of
this
people
group
.
This
,
then
,
was
a
"
woman
.
"
He
felt
both
oddly
excited
and
disappointed
.
He
suppressed
both
in
order
that
he
might
grok
deeply
,
with
such
success
that
Dr
.
Thaddeus
noticed
no
change
in
the
dial
readings
in
the
next
room
.
But
when
he
translated
the
last
query
he
felt
such
a
surge
of
emotion
that
he
almost
let
his
heartbeat
increase
.
He
caught
it
in
time
and
chided
himself
for
an
undisciplined
nestling
.
Then
he
checked
his
translation
.
No
,
he
was
not
mistaken
.
This
woman
creature
had
offered
him
the
water
ritual
.
It
wished
to
grow
closer
.
