"Let 'em pant," he said. "At a distance!" She smiled uncertainly. If he had a mustache, she thought, he'd be twirling it. There were two more calls in the next few minutes, of similar nature. Quillan rebuffed them cheerfully. It was rather flattering in a way. She wondered how so many people in the cocktail lounge happened to know Quillan by name.
"That's a fact." Trigger took another sip. She set down her glass. "There's something else," she said reluctantly. "Yes?" "When you said you'd come on board to see I got to Manon, I was thinking none of the people who'd been after me on Maccadon could know I was on the Dawn City. They might though. Quite easily."

The Archipelago of Chiloé, extends from Cape Capitanes to Quillan, from lat. 41° 50' to 44° S. long. 302° to 303° 25' E, from the meridian of Teneriffe . On the north it is bounded by the continent, where the Juncos and Rancos , two independent and unconverted nations, possess the country from thence to Valdivia: on the east by the Andes, which separate it from Patagonia; on the south by the archipelago of Guaitecas; and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.
She settled back slightly in the chair, surprised by the force of the reaction. She hadn't realized by now how keyed up she was! She sighed a small sigh. Then she smiled at Quillan.

She made a convulsive effort to vanish beneath the surface of the creek. Being flat on the sand as it was, that didn't work. So she stopped splashing about and made rapid covering-up motions here and there instead. "You've got a nerve!" she snapped as her breath came back. "Beat it! Fast!" Ole bashful Quillan, standing on the bank fifteen feet above her, looked hurt. He also looked.
The table was littered with instruments, like an electronic workbench. A visual screen showed a view of both her own cabin and a section of the passage outside it, up to the point where it entered the big hall. "What is it?" she asked uncertainly. "Essentially," said Quillan, "we've set up a catassin trap." "Catassin!" Trigger squeaked. "That's right. Don't get too nervous though.

"You got this little chunk the hard way, I feel," she observed. "True," Quillan admitted, "But we have to get it any way we can till we get enough to move on. Then we move."
"Imagine!" said Quillan thoughtfully. "Uh got something to seal up the clothes?" "Yes," Lyad said. "Bring it here, Flam." "Toss it, Flam!" cautioned Quillan. "Remember the leg." Lyad's hands did things to the clothes at her back. Then they went away. "You can sit up now, Trigger!" Quillan's voice informed her loudly. "Sort of slide down easy off the table and see if you can stand."
Je veux aller querir la justice, et faire donner la question a toute ma maison; a servantes, a valets, a fils, a fille, et a moi aussi."

And Nelchen tossed her head, with a touch of the provocative. Louis Quillan did what seemed advisable. " and, furthermore, your stupidity is no excuse for rumpling my hair," said Nelchen, by and by.
