She
had
not
thought
seriously
about
it
at
the
time
,
as
she
had
not
really
believed
that
anything
could
happen
to
Ben
.
Now
she
thought
about
it
for
a
long
time
,
while
trying
to
continue
her
duties
.
There
comes
a
time
in
the
life
of
every
human
when
he
or
she
must
decide
to
risk
"
his
life
,
his
fortune
,
and
his
sacred
honor
"
on
an
outcome
dubious
.
Those
who
fail
the
challenge
are
merely
overgrown
children
,
can
never
be
anything
else
.
Jill
Boardman
encountered
her
personal
challenge
-
and
accepted
it
-
at
3
:
47
that
afternoon
while
convincing
a
ward
visitor
that
he
simply
could
not
bring
a
dog
onto
the
floor
even
though
he
had
managed
to
slip
it
past
the
receptionist
and
even
if
the
sight
of
this
dog
was
just
what
the
patient
needed
.
The
Man
from
Mars
sat
down
again
when
Jill
left
.
He
did
not
pick
up
the
picture
book
they
had
given
him
but
simply
waited
in
a
fashion
which
may
be
described
as
"
patient
"
only
because
human
language
does
not
embrace
Martian
emotions
nor
attitudes
.
He
merely
held
still
with
quiet
happiness
because
his
brother
had
said
that
he
would
return
.
He
was
prepared
to
wait
,
without
doing
anything
,
without
moving
,
for
several
years
if
necessary
.
He
had
no
clear
idea
how
long
it
had
been
since
he
had
first
shared
water
with
this
brother
;
not
only
was
this
place
curiously
distorted
in
time
and
shape
,
with
sequences
of
sights
and
sounds
and
experiences
new
to
him
and
not
yet
grokked
,
but
also
the
culture
of
his
nest
took
a
different
grasp
of
time
from
that
which
is
human
.
The
difference
lay
not
in
their
much
longer
lifetimes
as
counted
in
Earth
years
,
but
in
a
basically
different
attitude
.
The
sentence
,
"
It
is
later
than
you
think
,
"
could
not
have
been
expressed
in
Martian
-
nor
could
"
Haste
makes
waste
,
"
though
for
a
different
reason
:
the
first
notion
was
inconceivable
while
the
latter
was
an
unexpressed
Martian
basic
,
as
unnecessary
as
telling
a
fish
to
bathe
.
But
the
quotation
,
"
As
it
was
in
the
Beginning
,
is
now
and
ever
shall
be
,
"
was
so
Martian
in
mood
that
it
could
be
translated
more
easily
than
"
two
plus
two
makes
four
"
-
which
was
not
a
truism
on
Mars
.
Smith
waited
.
Brush
came
in
and
looked
at
him
;
Smith
did
not
move
and
Brush
went
away
.
When
Smith
heard
a
key
in
the
outer
door
,
he
recalled
that
this
sound
had
been
one
that
he
had
heard
somewhat
before
the
last
visit
of
his
water
brother
,
so
he
shifted
his
metabolism
in
preparation
,
in
case
the
sequence
occurred
again
.
He
was
astonished
when
the
door
opened
and
Jill
slipped
in
,
as
he
had
not
been
aware
that
the
outer
door
was
a
door
.
But
he
grokked
it
at
once
and
gave
himself
over
to
the
joyful
fullness
which
comes
only
in
the
presence
of
one
’
s
own
nestlings
,
one
’
s
chosen
water
brothers
,
and
(
under
certain
circumstances
)
in
the
presence
of
the
Old
Ones
.
His
joy
was
somewhat
sullied
by
immediate
awareness
that
his
brother
did
not
fully
share
it
But
Smith
had
already
learned
that
these
creatures
,
so
much
like
himself
in
some
ways
,
could
endure
emotions
dreadful
to
contemplate
and
still
not
die
.
His
Brother
Mahmoud
underwent
a
spiritual
agony
five
times
daily
and
not
only
did
not
die
but
had
urged
the
agony
on
him
as
a
needful
thing
.
