Smith
then
looked
over
the
man
who
was
stepping
out
of
the
air
car
,
felt
his
emotions
and
recoiled
from
them
,
forced
himself
nevertheless
to
examine
him
carefully
,
inside
and
out
.
In
a
shaped
pocket
strapped
around
his
waist
by
a
belt
the
man
was
carrying
a
gun
.
Smith
was
almost
certain
it
was
a
gun
.
He
examined
it
in
great
detail
,
comparing
it
with
two
guns
that
he
had
seen
briefly
,
checking
what
it
appeared
to
be
against
the
definition
in
Webster
’
s
New
International
Dictionary
of
the
English
Language
,
Third
Edition
,
published
in
Springfield
,
Massachusetts
.
Yes
,
it
was
a
gun
–
not
alone
in
shape
but
also
in
wrongness
that
surrounded
and
penetrated
it
.
Smith
looked
down
the
barrel
,
saw
how
it
must
function
,
and
wrongness
stared
back
at
him
.
Should
he
turn
it
and
let
it
go
elsewhere
,
taking
its
wrongness
with
it
?
Do
it
at
once
before
the
man
was
fully
out
of
the
car
?
Smith
felt
that
he
should
?
and
yet
Jubal
had
told
him
,
at
another
time
,
not
to
do
this
to
a
gun
until
Jubal
told
him
that
it
was
time
to
do
it
.
He
knew
now
that
this
was
indeed
a
cusp
of
necessity
?
but
he
resolved
to
balance
on
the
point
of
the
cusp
until
he
grokked
all
of
it
–
since
it
was
possible
that
Jubal
,
knowing
that
a
cusp
was
approaching
,
had
sent
him
under
water
to
keep
him
from
acting
wrongly
at
the
cusp
.
He
would
wait
?
but
in
the
meantime
he
would
hold
this
gun
and
its
wrongness
carefully
under
his
eye
.
Not
at
the
moment
being
limited
to
two
eyes
facing
always
one
way
,
being
able
to
see
all
around
him
if
needful
,
he
continued
to
watch
the
gun
and
the
man
stepping
out
of
the
car
while
he
went
inside
the
car
.
More
wrongness
than
he
would
have
believed
possible
!
Other
men
were
in
there
,
all
but
one
of
them
crowding
toward
the
door
.
Their
minds
smelled
like
a
pack
of
Khaugha
who
had
scented
an
unwary
nymph
and
each
one
held
in
his
hands
a
something
having
wrongness
.
As
he
had
told
Jubal
,
Smith
knew
that
shape
alone
was
never
a
prime
determinant
;
it
was
necessary
to
go
beyond
shape
to
essence
in
order
to
grok
.
His
own
people
passed
through
five
major
shapes
:
egg
,
nymph
,
nestling
,
adult
–
and
Old
One
which
had
no
shape
.
Yet
the
essence
of
an
Old
One
was
already
patterned
in
the
egg
.
These
somethings
that
these
men
carried
seemed
like
guns
.
But
Smith
did
not
assume
that
they
were
guns
;
he
examined
one
most
carefully
first
.
