Jill
opened
her
mouth
,
closed
it
hastily
.
She
opened
it
again
.
"
Huh
?
Well
,
I
’
ll
be
darned
!
"
Smith
could
grok
emotional
violence
and
knew
that
somehow
he
had
offered
the
wrong
reply
.
He
began
to
compose
his
mind
for
discorporation
,
savoring
and
cherishing
all
that
he
had
been
and
seen
,
with
especial
attention
to
this
woman
creature
.
Then
he
became
aware
that
the
woman
was
bending
over
him
and
he
knew
somehow
that
it
was
not
about
to
die
.
It
looked
into
his
face
.
"
Correct
me
if
I
am
wrong
,
"
it
said
,
"
but
were
you
asking
me
to
take
my
clothes
off
?
"
The
inversions
and
abstractions
required
careful
translation
but
Smith
managed
it
.
"
Yes
,
"
he
answered
,
while
hoping
that
it
would
not
stir
up
a
new
crisis
.
"
That
’
s
what
I
thought
you
said
.
Brother
,
you
aren
’
t
ill
.
"
The
word
"
brother
"
he
considered
first
-
the
woman
was
reminding
him
that
they
had
been
joined
in
the
water
ritual
.
He
asked
the
help
of
his
nestlings
that
he
might
measure
up
to
whatever
this
new
brother
wanted
.
"
I
am
not
ill
,
"
he
agreed
.
"
Though
I
’
m
darned
if
I
know
how
to
cope
with
whatever
is
wrong
with
you
.
But
I
won
’
t
peel
down
.
And
I
’
ve
got
to
get
out
of
here
.
"
It
straightened
up
and
turned
again
toward
the
side
door
-
then
stopped
and
looked
back
with
a
quizzical
smile
.
"
You
might
ask
me
again
,
real
prettily
,
under
other
circumstances
.
"
I
’
m
curious
to
see
what
I
might
do
.
"
The
woman
was
gone
.
Smith
relaxed
into
the
water
bed
and
let
the
room
fade
away
from
him
.
He
felt
sober
triumph
that
he
had
somehow
comforted
himself
so
that
it
was
not
necessary
for
them
to
die
touched
with
something
else
both
disturbing
and
terrifyingly
pleasant
.
He
thought
about
his
new
brother
,
the
woman
creature
,
and
felt
odd
tingles
run
through
him
.
The
feeling
reminded
him
of
the
first
time
he
had
been
allowed
to
be
present
at
a
discorporation
and
he
felt
happy
without
knowing
why
.
He
wished
that
his
brother
Doctor
Mahmoud
were
here
.
There
was
so
much
to
grok
,
so
little
to
grok
from
.
Jill
Boardman
spent
the
rest
of
her
watch
in
a
mild
daze
.
She
managed
to
avoid
any
mistakes
in
medication
and
she
answered
from
reflex
the
usual
verbal
overtures
made
to
her
.
But
the
face
of
the
Man
from
Mars
stayed
in
her
mind
and
she
mulled
over
the
crazy
things
he
had
said
.
No
,
not
"
crazy
,
"
she
corrected
-
she
had
done
her
stint
in
psychiatric
wards
and
she
felt
certain
that
his
remarks
had
not
been
psychotic
.
