The
trip
was
made
in
a
chartered
Flying
Greyhound
,
and
Mike
sat
up
in
the
astrodome
above
the
driver
,
with
Jill
on
one
side
and
Dorcas
on
his
other
,
and
stared
and
stared
in
awed
wonderment
as
the
girls
pointed
out
sights
to
him
and
chattered
in
his
ears
.
The
seat
,
being
intended
for
two
people
,
was
very
crowded
,
but
Mike
did
not
mind
,
as
a
warming
degree
of
growing
closer
necessarily
resulted
.
He
sat
with
an
arm
around
each
,
and
looked
and
listened
and
tried
to
grok
and
could
not
have
been
happier
if
he
had
been
ten
feet
under
water
.
It
was
,
in
fact
,
his
first
view
of
Terran
civilization
He
had
seen
nothing
at
all
in
being
removed
from
the
Champion
to
suite
K
-
12
at
Bethesda
Center
;
he
had
indeed
spent
a
few
minutes
in
a
taxi
ten
days
earlier
going
from
the
hospital
to
Ben
’
s
apartment
but
at
the
time
he
had
grokked
none
of
it
.
Since
that
time
his
world
had
been
bounded
by
a
house
and
a
swimming
pool
,
plus
surrounding
garden
and
grass
and
trees
–
he
had
not
been
as
far
as
Jubal
’
s
gate
.
But
now
he
was
enormously
more
sophisticated
than
he
had
been
ten
days
ago
.
He
understood
windows
,
realized
that
the
bubble
surrounding
him
was
a
window
and
meant
for
looking
out
of
and
that
the
changing
sights
he
saw
were
indeed
the
cities
of
these
people
.
He
understood
maps
and
could
pick
out
,
with
the
help
of
the
girls
,
where
they
were
and
what
they
were
seeing
on
the
map
flowing
across
the
lap
board
in
front
of
them
.
But
of
course
he
had
always
known
about
maps
;
he
simply
had
not
known
until
recently
that
humans
knew
about
maps
.
It
had
given
him
a
twinge
of
happy
homesickness
the
first
time
he
had
grokked
a
human
map
.
Sure
,
it
was
static
and
dead
compared
with
the
maps
used
by
his
people
–
but
it
was
a
map
.
Mike
was
not
disposed
by
nature
and
certainly
not
by
training
to
invidious
comparisons
even
human
maps
were
very
Martian
in
essence
–
he
liked
them
.
Now
he
saw
almost
two
hundred
miles
of
countryside
,
much
of
it
sprawling
world
metropolis
,
and
savored
every
inch
of
it
,
tried
to
grok
it
.
He
was
startled
by
the
enormous
size
of
human
cities
and
by
their
bustling
activity
visible
even
from
the
air
,
so
very
different
from
the
slow
motion
,
monestary
-
garden
pace
of
cities
of
his
own
people
.
It
seemed
to
him
that
a
human
city
must
wear
out
almost
at
once
,
becoming
so
choked
with
living
experience
that
only
the
strongest
of
the
Old
Ones
could
bear
to
visit
its
deserted
streets
and
grok
in
contemplation
the
events
and
emotions
piled
layer
on
endless
Layer
in
it
.
He
himself
had
visited
abandoned
cities
at
home
only
on
a
few
wonderful
and
dreadful
occasions
,
and
then
his
teachers
had
stopped
having
him
do
so
,
grokking
that
he
was
not
strong
enough
for
such
experience
.
Careful
questions
to
Jill
and
Dorcas
,
the
answers
of
which
he
then
related
to
what
he
had
read
,
enabled
him
to
grok
in
part
enough
to
relieve
his
mind
somewhat
the
city
was
very
young
;
it
had
been
founded
only
a
little
over
two
Earth
centuries
ago
.
Since
Earth
time
units
had
no
real
flavor
for
him
,
he
converted
to
Martian
years
and
Martian
numbers
years
(

.
Terrifying
and
beautiful
!
Why
,
these
people
must
even
now
be
preparing
to
abandon
the
city
to
its
thoughts
before
it
shattered
under
the
strain
and
became
not
.
And
yet
,
by
mere
time
,
the
city
was
only
an
egg
.
Mike
looked
forward
to
returning
to
Washington
in
a
century
or
two
to
walk
its
empty
streets
and
try
to
grow
close
to
its
endless
pain
and
beauty
,
grokking
thirstily
until
he
was
Washington
and
the
city
was
himself
–
if
he
were
strong
enough
by
then
.
Then
he
firmly
filed
the
thought
away
as
he
knew
that
he
must
grow
and
grow
and
grow
before
he
would
be
able
to
praise
and
cherish
the
city
’
s
mighty
anguish
.
The
Greyhound
driver
swung
far
east
at
one
point
in
response
to
a
temporary
rerouting
of
unscheduled
traffic
(
caused
,
unknown
to
Mike
,
by
Mike
’
s
own
presence
)
,
and
Mike
,
for
the
first
time
,
saw
the
sea
.
