'Some bird, said I; 'an owl, perhaps'; and once more I fell into meditation; my mind wandered from one thing to another musing now on the structure of the Roman tongue now on the rise and fall of the Persian power and now on the powers vested in recorders at quarter-sessions.
See if you can raise Earth on the radio, Morey, will you, while I tell these fellows what happened? If you succeed, tell them to call in Dad and your father, and to have a couple of tape recorders on the job. We'll want a record of what I have to send. Say that we'll call back in an hour."
