His
human
teachers
had
been
unusually
well
qualified
to
instruct
his
innocence
without
bruising
it
.
The
result
was
as
unique
as
he
himself
.
Jill
was
very
pleased
but
not
really
surprised
to
find
that
"
Aunt
Patty
"
accepted
as
inevitable
and
necessary
,
and
with
forthright
fullness
,
the
fact
that
sharing
water
in
a
very
ancient
Martian
ceremony
with
Mike
led
at
once
to
sharing
Mike
himself
in
a
human
rite
ancient
itself
.
Jill
was
somewhat
surprised
(
although
still
pleased
)
at
Pat
s
continued
calm
acceptance
when
it
certainly
had
been
demonstrated
to
their
new
water
brother
that
Mike
was
capable
of
more
miracles
than
he
had
disclosed
up
to
then
.
However
,
Jill
did
not
then
know
that
Patricia
Paiwonski
had
met
a
holy
man
before
Patricia
expected
more
of
holy
men
.
Jill
herself
was
simply
serenely
happy
that
a
cusp
had
been
reached
and
passed
with
right
action
and
was
ecstatically
happy
herself
to
grow
closer
as
the
cusp
was
determined
all
of
which
she
thought
in
Martian
and
quite
differently
.

In
time
they
rested
and
Jill
had
Mike
treat
Patty
to
a
bath
given
by
telekinesis
,
and
herself
sat
on
the
edge
of
the
tub
and
squealed
and
giggled
when
the
older
woman
did
.
It
was
just
play
,
very
human
and
not
at
all
Martian
;
Mike
had
done
it
for
Jill
on
the
initial
occasion
almost
lazily
rather
than
raise
himself
up
out
of
the
water
an
accident
,
more
or
less
.
Now
it
had
become
a
custom
,
one
that
Jill
knew
Patty
would
like
.
It
tickled
Jill
to
see
Patty
s
face
when
she
found
herself
being
scrubbed
all
over
by
gentle
.
invisible
hands
?
and
then
,
presently
dried
in
a
whisk
with
neither
towel
nor
blast
of
air
.
Patricia
blinked
.
"
After
that
I
need
a
drink
.
A
big
one
.
"
"
Certainly
,
darling
.
"
"
And
I
still
want
to
show
you
kids
my
pictures
?
all
of
them
.
"
Patricia
followed
Jill
out
into
the
living
room
,
Mike
in
train
,
and
stood
in
the
middle
of
the
rug
.
"
But
first
look
at
me
.
Look
at
me
,
not
at
my
pictures
.
What
do
you
see
?

With
mild
regret
Mike
stripped
her
tattoos
off
in
his
mind
and
looked
at
his
new
brother
without
her
decorations
.
He
liked
her
tattoos
very
much
;
they
were
peculiarly
her
own
,
they
set
her
apart
and
made
her
a
self
.
They
seemed
to
him
to
give
her
a
slightly
Martian
flavor
,
in
that
she
did
not
have
the
bland
sameness
of
most
humans
.
He
had
already
memorized
them
all
and
had
thought
pleasantly
of
having
himself
tattooed
all
over
,
once
be
grokked
what
should
be
pictured
.
The
life
of
his
father
,
water
brother
Jubal
?
He
would
have
to
ponder
it
.
He
would
discuss
it
with
Jill
and
Jill
might
wish
to
be
tattooed
,
too
.
What
designs
would
make
Jill
more
beautifully
Jill
?
In
the
way
in
which
perfume
multiplied
Jill
s
odor
without
changing
it
?
What
he
saw
when
he
looked
at
Pat
without
her
tattoos
pleased
him
but
not
as
much
;
she
looked
as
a
woman
necessarily
must
look
to
be
woman
.
Mike
still
did
not
grok
Duke
s
collection
of
pictures
;
the
pictures
were
interesting
and
had
taught
Mike
that
there
was
more
variety
in
the
sizes
,
shapes
,
proportions
and
colors
of
women
than
he
had
known
up
to
then
and
that
there
was
some
variety
in
the
acrobatics
involving
physical
love
but
having
learned
these
simple
facts
he
seemed
to
grok
that
there
was
nothing
more
to
be
learned
from
Duke
s
prized
pictures
.
Mike
s
early
training
had
made
of
him
a
very
exact
observer
,
by
eye
(
and
other
senses
)
,
but
that
same
training
had
left
him
unresponsive
to
the
subtle
pleasures
of
voyeurism
,
it
was
not
that
be
did
not
find
women
(
including
,
most
emphatically
Patricia
Paiwonski
)
sexually
stimulating
,
but
it
lay
not
in
seeing
them
.
Of
his
senses
,
smell
and
touch
counted
much
higher
in
which
he
was
quasi
-
human
,
quasi
-
Martian
;
the
parallel
Martian
reflex
(
as
unsubtle
as
a
sneeze
)
was
triggered
by
those
two
,
but
could
activate
only
in
season
what
must
be
termed
"
sex
"
in
a
Martian
is
as
romantic
as
intravenous
feeding
.
