Jubal
listened
to
the
story
without
comment
.
He
was
still
wondering
what
he
should
add
to
it
when
it
ended
.
He
wondered
,
too
,
if
Jill
had
told
Ben
about
Berquist
and
that
other
fellow
–
Johnson
.
He
knew
that
he
had
not
.
There
hadn
’
t
been
time
the
night
Ben
had
been
rescued
?
and
in
the
sober
light
of
the
following
dawn
it
had
seemed
better
to
let
such
things
ride
.
Had
the
kids
told
Ben
about
the
battle
of
the
swimming
pool
?
And
the
two
carloads
of
cops
who
were
missing
afterwards
?
Again
,
it
seemed
most
unlikely
;
the
kids
knew
that
the
"
official
"
version
was
that
the
first
task
force
had
never
showed
up
–
they
had
all
heard
his
phone
call
with
Douglas
.
All
Jubal
’
s
family
were
discreet
;
whether
guests
or
employees
,
gossipy
persons
were
quickly
ousted
–
Jubal
regarded
gossip
as
his
own
prerogative
,
solely
.
But
Jill
might
have
told
Ben
.
Well
,
if
she
had
,
she
must
have
bound
him
to
silence
;
Ben
had
not
mentioned
disappearances
to
Jubal
?
and
he
wasn
’
t
trying
to
catch
Jubal
’
s
eye
now
.
Damn
it
,
the
only
thing
to
do
was
to
keep
quiet
and
go
on
trying
to
impress
on
the
boy
that
he
simply
must
not
go
around
making
unpleasant
strangers
disappear
!
Jubal
was
saved
from
further
soul
-
searching
(
and
the
stag
conversation
was
broken
up
)
by
Anne
’
s
arrival
.
"
Boss
,
that
Mr
.
Bradley
is
at
the
door
.
The
one
who
called
himself
‘
senior
executive
assistant
to
the
Secretary
General
.
’
"
You
didn
’
t
let
him
in
?
"
"
No
.
I
looked
at
him
through
the
one
-
way
and
talked
to
him
through
the
speakie
.
He
says
he
has
papers
to
deliver
to
you
,
personally
,
and
that
he
will
wait
for
an
answer
.
"
"
Have
him
pass
them
through
the
flap
.
And
you
tell
him
that
you
are
my
‘
senior
executive
assistant
’
and
that
you
will
fetch
my
receipt
acknowledging
personal
delivery
if
that
is
what
he
wants
.
This
is
still
the
Martian
Embassy
–
until
I
check
what
’
s
in
those
papers
.
"
"
Just
let
him
stand
in
the
corridor
?
"
"
I
’
ve
no
doubt
that
Major
Bloch
can
find
him
a
chair
.
Anne
,
I
am
aware
that
you
were
gently
reared
–
but
this
is
a
situation
in
which
rudeness
pays
off
.
We
don
’
t
give
an
inch
,
nor
a
kind
word
,
until
we
get
exactly
what
we
want
.
"
"
Yes
,
Boss
.
"
