Jubal
explained
early
that
they
were
doing
nothing
but
waiting
on
word
from
the
Secretary
General
.
"
If
he
means
business
–
and
I
think
he
’
s
ready
to
deal
–
we
may
hear
from
him
yet
today
.
If
not
,
we
’
ll
go
home
this
evening
?
and
come
back
if
we
have
to
.
But
if
we
had
stayed
in
the
Palace
,
he
might
have
been
tempted
to
dicker
.
Here
,
dug
into
our
own
hole
,
we
can
refuse
to
dicker
.
"
"
Dicker
for
what
?
"
asked
Captain
van
Tromp
.
"
You
gave
him
what
he
wanted
.
"
"
Not
all
that
he
wanted
.
Douglas
would
rather
have
that
power
of
attorney
be
utterly
irrevocable
?
instead
of
on
his
good
behavior
,
with
the
power
reverting
to
a
man
he
despises
and
is
afraid
of
–
namely
that
scoundrel
there
with
the
innocent
smile
,
our
brother
Ben
,
But
there
are
others
besides
Douglas
who
are
certain
to
want
to
dicker
,
too
.
That
bland
buddha
Kung
–
hates
my
guts
,
I
’
ve
just
snatched
the
rug
out
from
under
him
.
But
if
he
could
figure
a
deal
that
might
tempt
us
–
before
Douglas
nails
this
down
–
he
would
offer
it
.
So
we
stay
out
of
his
way
,
too
.
Kung
is
one
reason
why
we
are
eating
and
drinking
nothing
that
we
did
not
fetch
with
us
.
"
"
You
really
feel
that
’
s
something
to
worry
about
?
"
asked
Nelson
.
"
Truthfully
,
Jubal
,
I
had
assumed
that
you
were
a
gourmet
who
insisted
on
his
own
cuisine
even
away
from
home
.
I
can
’
t
imagine
being
poisoned
,
in
a
major
hotel
such
as
this
.
"
Jubal
shook
his
head
sorrowfully
.
"
Sven
,
you
’
re
the
sort
of
honest
man
who
thinks
everybody
else
is
honest
–
and
you
are
usually
right
.
No
,
nobody
is
going
to
try
to
poison
you
?
but
your
wife
might
collect
your
insurance
simply
because
you
shared
a
dish
with
Mike
.
"
"
You
really
think
that
?
"
"
Sven
,
I
’
ll
order
anything
you
want
.
But
I
won
’
t
touch
it
and
I
won
’
t
let
Mike
touch
it
.
For
I
’
ll
lay
heavy
odds
that
any
waiter
who
comes
to
this
suite
will
be
on
Kung
’
s
payroll
?
and
maybe
on
two
or
three
others
’
.
I
’
m
not
seeing
boogie
men
behind
bushes
;
they
know
where
we
are
–
and
they
’
ve
had
a
couple
of
hours
in
which
to
act
.
Sven
,
in
cold
seriousness
,
my
principal
worry
has
been
to
keep
this
lad
alive
long
enough
to
figure
out
a
way
to
sterilize
and
stabilize
the
power
he
represents
?
so
that
it
would
be
to
no
one
’
s
advantage
to
have
him
dead
.
"
Jubal
sighed
.
"
Consider
the
black
widow
spider
.
It
’
s
a
timid
little
beastie
,
useful
and
,
for
my
taste
,
the
prettiest
of
the
arachnids
,
with
its
shiny
,
patent
-
leather
finish
and
its
red
hourglass
trademark
.
But
the
poor
thing
has
the
fatal
misfortune
of
possessing
enormously
too
much
power
for
its
size
.
So
everybody
kills
it
on
sight
.
"
The
black
widow
can
’
t
help
it
,
it
has
no
way
to
avoid
its
venomous
power
.
"
Mike
is
in
the
same
dilemma
.
