And
suppose
the
test
shows
that
we
aren
’
t
getting
through
?
If
the
trouble
is
here
,
can
you
spot
what
’
s
wrong
?
"
"
Well
,
I
might
,
"
Larry
said
doubtfully
,
"
if
it
wasn
’
t
anything
more
than
a
loose
connection
.
But
Duke
is
the
electron
pusher
around
here
–
I
’
m
more
the
intellectual
type
.
"
"
I
know
,
son
–
I
’
m
not
too
bright
about
practical
matters
,
either
.
Well
,
do
the
best
you
can
.
Let
me
know
.
"
"
Anything
else
,
Jubal
?
"
"
Yes
,
if
you
see
the
man
who
invented
the
wheel
,
send
him
up
;
I
want
to
give
him
a
piece
of
my
mind
.
Meddler
!
"
Jubal
spent
the
next
few
minutes
in
umbilical
contemplation
.
He
considered
the
possibility
that
Duke
had
sabotaged
the
"
panic
button
"
but
rejected
the
thought
as
time
wasting
,
if
not
unworthy
.
He
allowed
himself
to
wonder
for
a
moment
just
what
had
really
happened
down
in
his
garden
and
how
the
lad
had
done
it
–
from
ten
feet
under
water
.
For
he
had
no
doubt
that
the
Man
from
Mars
had
been
behind
those
impossible
shenanigans
.
Admittedly
,
what
he
had
seen
only
the
day
before
in
this
very
room
was
just
as
intellectually
stupefying
as
these
later
events
–
but
the
emotional
impact
was
something
else
.
A
mouse
was
as
much
a
miracle
of
biology
as
was
an
elephant
;
nevertheless
there
was
an
important
difference
–
an
elephant
was
bigger
.
To
see
an
empty
carton
,
just
rubbish
,
disappear
in
midair
logically
implied
the
possibility
that
a
squad
car
full
of
men
could
vanish
in
the
same
fashion
.
But
one
event
kicked
your
teeth
in
–
the
other
didn
’
t
.
Well
,
he
wasn
’
t
going
to
waste
tears
on
those
Cossacks
.
Jubal
conceded
that
cops
qua
cops
were
all
right
;
he
had
met
a
number
of
honest
cops
in
his
life
?
and
even
a
fee
-
splitting
village
constable
did
not
deserve
to
be
snuffed
out
like
a
candle
.
The
Coast
Guard
was
a
fine
example
of
what
cops
ought
to
be
and
frequently
were
.
