Go

off
at

set

for

minutes
refusal
,
said
,
"
Come
along
,
kids

"
and
returned
to
his
favorite
loafing
spot
near
the
pool
.
There
he
cautioned
Anne
to
keep
her
Witness
robe
at
hand
day
and
night
until
further
notice
,
told
Mike
to
stay
in
earshot
,
and
gave
Miriam
instructions
concerning
the
telephone
.
Then
he
relaxed
.
He
was
not
displeased
with
his
efforts
.
He
had
not
expected
to
be
able
to
reach
the
Secretary
General
at
once
,
through
official
channels
.
He
felt
that
his
morning
s
reconnaissance
had
developed
at
least
one
weak
spot
in
the
wall
surrounding
the
Secretary
and
he
expected
or
hoped
that
his
stormy
session
with
Captain
Heinrich
would
bring
a
return
call
?
from
a
higher
level
.

cop
had
been
rewarding
in
itself
and
had
left
him
in
a
warm
glow
of
artistic
post
-
fructification
.
Harshaw
held
that
certain
feet
were
made
for
stepping
on
,
in
order
to
improve
the
breed
,
promote
the
general
welfare
,
and
minimize
the
ancient
insolence
of
office
;
he
had
seen
at
once
that
Heinrich
had
such
feet
.
But
,
if
no
action
developed
,
Harshaw
wondered
how
long
he
could
afford
to
wait
?
In
addition
to
the
pending
collapse
of
his
"
time
bomb
"
and
the
fact
that
he
had
,
in
effect
,
promised
Jill
that
he
would
take
steps
on
behalf
of
Ben
Caxton
(
why
couldn
t
the
child
see
that
Ben
probably
could
not
be
helped
indeed
,
was
almost
certainly
beyond
help
and
that
any
direct
or
hasty
action
minimized
Mike
s
chance
of
keeping
his
freedom
?
)
in
addition
to
these
two
factors
,
something
new
was
crowding
him
:
Duke
was
gone
.
Gone
for
the
day
,
gone
for
good
(
or
gone
for
bad
)
,
Jubal
did
not
know
.
Duke
had
been
present
at
dinner
the
night
before
,
had
not
shown
up
for
breakfast
.
Neither
event
was
noteworthy
in
Harshaw
s
loosely
coupled
household
and
no
one
else
appeared
to
have
missed
Duke
.
Jubal
himself
would
not
ordinarily
have
noticed
unless
he
had
had
occasion
to
yell
for
Duke
.
But
this
morning
Jubal
had
,
of
course
,
noticed
?
and
he
had
refrained
from
shouting
for
Duke
at
least
twice
on
occasions
when
he
normally
would
have
done
so
.

Jubal
looked
glumly
across
the
pool
,
watched
Mike
attempt
to
perform
a
dive
exactly
as
Dorcas
had
just
performed
it
,
and
admitted
to
himself
that
he
had
not
shouted
for
Duke
when
he
needed
him
,
on
purpose
.
The
truth
was
that
he
simply
did
not
want
to
ask
the
Bear
what
had
happened
to
Algy
.
The
Bear
might
answer
.
Well
,
there
was
only
one
way
to
cope
with
that
sort
of
weakness
.
"
Mike
!
Come
here
.
"
"
Yes
,
Jubal
.
"
The
Man
from
Mars
got
out
of
the
pool
and
trotted
over
like
an
eager
puppy
,
waited
.
