She

He

The
conference
was
postponed
to
the
afternoon
,
then
quickly
re
-
postponed
to
the
following
morning
,
which
gave
Caxton
an
extra
twenty
-
four
hours
of
badly
needed
recuperation
,
a
chance
to
hear
in
detail
about
his
missing
week
,
a
chance
to
"
grow
closer
"
with
the
Man
from
Mars
for
Mike

at
once
that
Jill
and
Ben
were
"
water
brothers

consulted
Jill
about
it
,
and
solemnly
offered
water
to
Ben

Ben
had
been
adequately
briefed
by
Jill
.
He
accepted
it
just
as
solemnly
and
without
mental
reservations
?
after
soul
searching
in
which
he
decided
that
his
own
destiny
was
,
in
truth
,
interwoven
with
that
of
the
Man
from
Mars
through
his
own
initiative
before
he
ever
met
Mike
.
Ben
had
had
to
chase
down
,
in
the
crannies
of
his
soul
,
one
uneasy
feeling
before
he
was
able
to
do
this
.
He
at
last
decided
that
it
was
simple
jealousy
,
and
,
being
such
,
had
to
be
cauterized
.
He
had
discovered
that
he
felt
irked
at
the
closeness
between
Mike
and
Jill
.
His
own
bachelor
persona
,
he
learned
,
had
been
changed
by
a
week
of
undead
oblivion
;
he
found
that
he
wanted
to
be
married
,
and
to
Jill
.
He
proposed
to
her
again
,
without
a
trace
of
joking
about
it
,
as
soon
as
he
got
her
alone
.
Jill
had
looked
away
.
"
Please
,
Ben
.
"
"
Why
not
?
I
m
solvent
,
I
ve
got
a
fairly
good
job
,
I
m
in
good
health
or
I
will
be
,
as
soon
as
I
get
their
condemned
truth
drugs
washed
out
of
my
system
?
and
since
I
haven
t
,
quite
,
I
feel
an
overpowering
compulsion
to
tell
the
truth
right
now
.
I
love
you
.
I
want
you
to
marry
me
and
let
me
rub
your
poor
tired
feet
.

So
why
not
?
I
don
t
have
any
vices
that
you
don
t
share
with
me
and
we
get
along
together
better
than
most
married
couples
.
Am
I
too
old
for
you
?
I
m
not
that
old
!
Or
are
you
planning
to
marry
somebody
else
?
"
"
No
,
neither
one
!
Dear
Ben
?
Ben
,
I
love
you
.
But
don
t
ask
me
to
marry
you
now
.
I
have
?
responsibilities
.
"
He
could
not
shake
her
firmness
.
Admittedly
,
Mike
was
more
nearly
Jill
s
age
almost
exactly
her
age
,
in
fact
,
which
made
Ben
slightly
more
than
ten
years
older
than
they
were
.
But
he
believed
Jill
when
she
denied
that
age
was
a
factor
;
the
age
difference
wasn
t
too
great
and
it
helped
,
all
things
considered
,
for
a
husband
to
be
older
than
his
wife
.
