He
wished
keenly
that
he
had
kept
Fair
Witness
Cavendish
with
him
.
But
he
wasted
no
time
on
this
futility
but
cleared
the
useless
call
from
the
radio
and
tried
at
once
to
call
his
lawyer
,
Mark
Frisby
He
was
still
trying
when
the
taxicab
landed
inside
a
courtyard
landing
fiat
and
his
signal
was
cut
off
by
its
walls
.
He
then
tried
to
leave
the
cab
,
found
that
the
door
would
not
open
-
and
was
hardly
surprised
to
discover
that
he
was
becoming
very
light
-
headed
and
was
fast
losing
consciousness
.
Jill
tried
to
tell
herself
that
Ben
had
gone
charging
off
on
another
Scent
and
simply
had
forgotten
(
or
had
not
taken
time
)
to
let
her
know
.
But
she
did
not
believe
it
.
Ben
,
incredibly
busy
as
he
was
,
owed
much
of
his
success
,
both
professional
and
social
,
to
meticulous
attention
to
human
details
.
He
remembered
birthdays
and
would
rather
have
welched
on
a
poker
debt
than
have
forgotten
to
write
a
bread
-
and
-
butter
note
.
No
matter
where
he
had
gone
,
nor
how
urgent
the
errand
,
he
could
have
-
and
would
have
!
-
at
least
taken
two
minutes
while
in
the
air
to
record
a
reassuring
message
to
her
at
her
home
or
at
the
Center
.
It
was
an
unvarying
characteristic
of
Ben
,
she
reminded
herself
,
the
thing
that
made
him
a
lovable
beast
in
spite
of
his
many
faults
.
He
must
have
left
word
for
her
!
She
called
his
office
again
at
her
lunch
break
and
spoke
with
Ben
’
s
researcher
and
office
chief
,
Osbert
Kilgallen
.
He
assured
her
solemnly
that
Ben
had
left
no
message
for
her
,
nor
had
any
come
in
since
she
had
called
earlier
.
She
could
see
past
his
head
in
the
screen
that
there
were
other
people
in
the
office
;
she
decided
it
was
a
poor
time
to
mention
the
Man
from
Mars
.
"
Did
he
say
where
he
was
going
?
Or
when
he
would
be
back
?
"
"
No
.
But
that
is
not
unusual
.
We
always
have
a
few
spare
columns
on
the
hook
to
fill
in
when
one
of
these
things
comes
up
.
"
"
Well
"
Not
at
all
,
Miss
Boardman
.
He
did
not
call
;
it
was
a
statprint
message
,
filed
from
Paoli
Flat
in
Philadelphia
as
I
recall
.
"
Jill
had
to
be
satisfied
with
that
.
She
lunched
in
the
nurses
’
dining
room
and
tried
to
interest
herself
in
food
.
It
wasn
’
t
,
she
told
herself
,
as
if
anything
were
really
wrong
