Well
,
when
you
couldn
’
t
use
the
front
door
you
got
yourself
slipped
in
through
the
back
door
–
elementary
politics
.
Jubal
regretted
mildly
that
he
had
ignored
politics
the
last
quarter
century
or
so
.
Damn
it
,
he
needed
Ben
Caxton
–
Ben
would
know
who
had
keys
to
the
back
door
–
and
Jubal
would
know
somebody
who
knew
one
of
them
.
But
Ben
’
s
absence
was
the
whole
reason
for
this
silly
donkey
derby
.
Since
he
couldn
’
t
ask
Ben
,
whom
did
he
know
who
would
know
?
Hell
’
s
halfwit
,
he
had
just
been
talking
to
one
!
Jubal
turned
back
to
the
phone
and
tried
to
raise
Tom
Mackenzie
again
,
running
into
only
three
layers
of
interference
on
the
way
,
all
of
whom
knew
him
and
passed
him
along
quickly
.
While
he
was
doing
this
,
his
staff
and
the
Man
from
Mars
came
in
;
Jubal
ignored
them
and
they
sat
down
,
Miriam
first
stopping
to
write
on
a
scratch
pad
:
"
Doors
and
windows
locked
.
"
Jubal
nodded
to
her
and
wrote
below
it
:
"
Larry
–
panic
button
?
"
then
said
to
the
screen
,
"
Tom
,
sorry
to
bother
you
again
.
"
"
A
pleasure
,
Jubal
.
"
"
Tom
,
if
you
wanted
to
talk
to
Secretary
General
Douglas
,
how
would
you
go
about
it
?
"
"
Eh
?
I
’
d
phone
his
press
secretary
,
Jim
Sanforth
.
Or
possibly
Jock
Dumont
,
depending
on
what
I
wanted
.
But
I
wouldn
’
t
talk
to
the
Secretary
General
at
all
.
Jim
would
handle
it
.
"
"
But
suppose
you
wanted
to
talk
to
Douglas
himself
.
"
"
Why
,
I
’
d
tell
Jim
and
let
him
arrange
it
.
Be
quicker
just
to
tell
Jim
my
problem
,
though
;
it
might
be
a
day
or
two
before
he
could
squeeze
me
in
?
and
even
then
I
might
be
bumped
for
something
more
urgent
.
Look
,
Jubal
,
the
network
is
useful
to
the
administration
–
and
we
know
it
and
they
know
it
.
But
we
don
’
t
presume
on
it
unnecessarily
.
