He
might
not
be
able
to
see
the
naked
Face
of
God
?
but
his
eyesight
was
good
enough
to
pick
out
his
social
equals
–
and
those
Fosterites
,
by
damn
,
did
not
measure
up
!
But
he
could
see
how
Mike
had
been
misled
;
the
Fosterite
"
going
to
Heaven
"
at
a
pre
-
selected
time
and
place
did
sound
like
the
voluntary
and
planned
"
discorporation
"
which
,
Jubal
did
not
doubt
,
was
the
accepted
practice
on
Mars
.
Jubal
himself
held
a
dark
suspicion
that
a
better
term
for
the
Fosterite
practice
was
"
murder
"
–
but
such
had
never
been
proved
and
had
rarely
been
publicly
hinted
,
much
less
charged
,
even
when
the
cult
was
young
and
relatively
small
.
Foster
himself
had
been
the
first
to
"
go
to
Heaven
"
on
schedule
,
dying
publicly
at
a
self
-
prophesied
instant
.
Since
that
first
example
,
it
had
been
a
Fosterite
mark
of
special
grace
?
and
it
had
been
years
since
any
coroner
or
district
attorney
had
had
the
temerity
to
pry
into
such
deaths
.
Not
that
Jubal
cared
whether
they
were
spontaneous
or
induced
.
In
his
opinion
a
good
Fosterite
was
a
dead
Fosterite
.
Let
them
be
!
But
it
was
going
to
be
hard
to
explain
to
Mike
.
No
use
stalling
,
another
cup
of
coffee
wouldn
’
t
make
it
any
easier
–
"
Mike
,
who
made
the
world
?
"
"
Beg
pardon
?
"
"
Look
around
you
.
All
this
.
Mars
,
too
.
The
stars
.
Everything
.
You
and
me
and
everybody
.
Did
the
Old
Ones
tell
you
who
made
it
?
"
Mike
looked
puzzled
.
"
No
,
Jubal
.
"
"
Well
,
you
have
wondered
about
it
,
haven
’
t
you
?
Where
did
the
silt
come
from
?
Who
put
the
stars
in
the
sky
?
Who
started
it
all
?
All
of
it
,
everything
,
the
whole
world
,
the
Universe
–
so
that
you
and
I
are
I
talking
.
"
Jubal
paused
,
surprised
at
himself
.
He
had
intended
to
make
the
usual
agnostic
approach
?
and
found
himself
compulsively
following
his
legal
training
,
being
an
honest
advocate
in
spite
of
himself
,
attempting
to
support
a
religious
belief
he
did
not
hold
but
which
was
believed
most
human
beings
.
He
found
that
,
willy
-
nilly
,
he
was
attorney
for
the
orthodoxies
of
his
own
race
against
–
he
wasn
’
t
sure
what
.
An
unhuman
viewpoint
.
"
How
do
your
Old
Ones
answer
such
questions
?
"
"
Jubal
,
I
do
not
grok
?
that
these
are
questions
.
I
am
sorry
.
