The
man
looked
at
it
,
opened
his
mouth
–
then
left
very
rapidly
without
stopping
to
close
it
.
But
he
was
back
very
quickly
on
the
heels
of
another
,
older
man
.
The
newcomer
said
in
a
firm
,
no
-
nonsense
manner
,
"
Dr
.
Harshaw
,
I
’
m
LaRue
,
Chief
of
Protocol
.
Do
you
actually
need
half
the
main
table
?
I
understood
that
your
delegation
was
quite
small
.
"
"
That
’
s
beside
the
point
.
"
LaRue
smiled
briefly
.
"
I
’
m
afraid
it
’
s
not
beside
the
point
to
me
,
sir
.
I
’
m
at
my
wit
’
s
end
for
space
.
Almost
every
official
of
first
rank
in
the
Federation
has
elected
to
be
present
today
.
If
you
are
expecting
more
people
–
though
I
do
wish
you
had
notified
me
–
I
’
ll
have
a
table
placed
behind
these
two
seats
reserved
for
Mr
.
Smith
and
yourself
.
"
"
No
.
"
"
I
’
m
afraid
that
’
s
the
way
it
must
be
.
I
’
m
sorry
.
"
"
So
am
I
–
for
you
.
Because
if
half
the
main
table
is
not
reserved
for
the
Mars
delegation
,
we
are
leaving
right
now
.
Just
tell
the
Secretary
General
that
you
busted
up
his
conference
by
being
rude
to
the
Man
from
Mars
.
"
"
Surely
you
don
’
t
mean
that
?
"
"
Didn
’
t
you
get
my
message
?
"
"
Uh
?
well
,
I
took
it
as
a
jest
.
A
rather
clever
one
,
I
admit
.
"
"
Son
,
I
can
’
t
afford
to
joke
at
these
prices
.
Smith
is
either
top
man
from
another
planet
paying
an
official
visit
to
the
top
man
of
this
planet
–
in
which
case
he
is
entitled
to
all
the
side
boys
and
dancing
girls
you
can
dig
up
–
or
he
is
just
a
simple
tourist
and
gets
no
official
courtesies
of
any
sort
.
You
can
’
t
have
it
both
ways
.
But
I
suggest
that
you
look
around
you
,
count
the
‘
officials
of
first
rank
’
as
you
called
them
,
and
make
a
quick
guess
as
to
whether
they
would
have
bothered
to
show
up
if
,
in
their
minds
,
Smith
is
just
a
tourist
.
