The
note
was
one
word
:
"
Yes
,
"
and
had
been
signed
with
initials
"
J
.
E
.
D
.
"
-
all
in
the
famous
green
ink
.
Jubal
looked
up
,
found
that
Douglas
’
eyes
were
now
on
him
;
Jubal
nodded
ever
so
slightly
and
Douglas
looked
away
.
The
conference
was
now
over
;
all
that
remained
was
to
let
the
world
know
it
.
Mike
concluded
the
sonorous
nullities
he
had
been
given
;
Jubal
heard
his
own
words
:
"
-
growing
closer
,
with
mutual
benefit
to
both
worlds
-
"
and
"
-
each
race
according
to
its
own
nature
-
"
but
did
not
listen
.
Douglas
then
thanked
the
Man
from
Mars
,
briefly
but
warmly
.
There
was
a
pause
.
Jubal
stood
up
.
"
Mr
.
Secretary
General
-
"
"
Yes
,
Dr
.
Harshaw
?
"
"
As
you
know
,
Mr
.
Smith
is
here
today
in
a
dual
role
.
Like
some
visiting
prince
in
the
past
history
of
our
own
great
race
,
traveling
by
caravan
and
sailing
across
uncharted
vastnesses
to
a
distant
realm
,
he
brings
to
Earth
the
good
wishes
of
the
Ancient
Powers
of
Mars
.
But
he
is
also
a
human
being
,
a
citizen
of
the
Federation
and
of
the
United
States
of
America
.
As
such
,
he
has
rights
and
properties
and
obligations
.
"
Jubal
shook
his
head
.
"
Pesky
ones
,
I
’
m
sorry
to
say
.
As
attorney
for
him
in
his
capacity
as
a
citizen
and
a
human
being
,
I
have
been
puzzling
over
his
business
affairs
and
I
have
not
even
managed
a
complete
list
of
what
he
owns
–
much
less
decide
what
to
tell
tax
collectors
-
"
Jubal
stopped
to
wheeze
.
"
I
’
m
an
old
man
,
I
might
not
live
to
complete
the
task
.
Now
you
know
that
my
client
has
had
no
business
experience
in
the
human
sense
–
Martians
do
these
things
differently
.
But
he
is
a
young
man
of
great
intelligence
–
the
whole
world
knows
that
his
parents
were
geniuses
–
and
blood
will
tell
.
There
’
s
no
doubt
that
in
a
few
years
,
he
could
,
if
he
wished
,
do
very
nicely
on
his
own
without
the
aid
of
one
old
,
broken
-
down
lawyer
.
But
his
affairs
need
attention
today
;
business
won
’
t
wait
.
"
But
,
in
fact
,
he
is
more
eager
to
learn
the
history
and
the
arts
and
the
ways
of
the
people
of
this
,
his
second
home
,
than
he
is
to
bury
himself
in
debentures
and
stock
issues
and
royalties
–
and
I
think
in
this
he
is
wise
.
Although
without
business
experience
,
Mr
.
Smith
possesses
a
direct
and
simple
wisdom
that
continues
to
astonish
me
?
and
to
astonish
all
who
meet
him
.
When
I
explained
to
him
the
trouble
I
was
having
,
he
simply
looked
at
me
with
a
clear
,
calm
gaze
and
said
,
‘
Why
,
that
’
s
no
problem
,
Jubal
–
we
’
ll
ask
Mr
.
Douglas
.
’
"
Jubal
paused
and
said
anxiously
,
"
The
rest
of
this
is
just
personal
business
,
Mr
.
Secretary
.
Should
I
see
you
about
it
privately
?
And
let
the
rest
of
these
ladies
and
gentlemen
go
home
?
"
