Then from up forward, without turning, Webber spoke. "What do you think now of Vaillant's fine idea, Paula?" "It can still work," she said, but there was no conviction in her voice. "If you don't mind," said Kieran, with an edge to his voice, "I'd still like to know what this Sako business has to do with reviving me." "The Sakae rule the humans on that world," Paula answered.
"You're a Norwegian, aren't you, Ida? So you're a foreigner just as Mr. Sako is. I suppose he thinks Norwegians are just as strange as you think Japanese. Countries are like families, I guess; you think your own is the best in the world. But I don't believe that God was so good to the Norwegians that he made them the best. He had to divide the good things just as I do when I have any candy.
He turned his head and took in Friday and Sako, standing near-by. "You are Sako?" he asked the latter. "It is most unfortunate that you had to deceive me a little while ago. We shall have to see what to do about it. Later. For the present, move farther back, out of the way. So. You, black one, next to my friend Carse: we must be moving along. So." Ku Sui surveyed then with inscrutable eyes.
Kieran stared at her. "So what? If they're intelligent " "You talk as though it was the simplest thing in the world," she flashed. "Isn't it? If your Sakae are intelligent and the humans of Sako aren't, then the Sakae have the rights on that world, don't they?" She looked at him, not saying anything, and again she had that stricken look of one who has tried and failed.
I give some to Aunt Kate and some to Uncle Larry and once I gave a chocolate to you, Ida. I wish you'd try and be polite to Mr. Sako. You don't need to be intimate friends if you don't want to. Just think what a splendid chance you have to learn about Japan." Ida had stared at her as Lena had done, but she told Mrs.
It's expected to go on like that, till there are twenty-nine hundred starworlds represented there, twenty-nine thousand any number. But " Kieran had been listening closely. "But what? What upset this particular utopia?" "Sako." "This world we're going to?" "Yes," she said soberly. "Men found something different about this world when they reached it.
"You will remain motionless in your present position, keeping your radio receiver open for further instructions. We are approaching and will be with you in thirty minutes." Carse motioned to Friday to switch off the mike. Sako sank limply into a chair, soaked with perspiration. "Now we must wait again," the Hawk murmured, crossing his arms and scanning the visi-screen.
Straight through the vast cold reaches that stretched between one mighty planet and another the Scorpion arrowed, Carse and Friday standing watch and watch, Sako always on duty with the latter. Behind, Saturn's rings melted smaller, and ahead a dusky speck grew against the vault of space until the red belts and one great seething crimson spot that marked it as Jupiter stood out plainly.
Three men had emerged alive from the clash between the Hawk and the Kite: Carse himself, Friday, his gigantic negro companion in adventure, and a bearded half-caste called Sako, sole survivor of Judd's crew. Aided sullenly by this man, they first cleaned up the ravaged ranch, burying the bodies of the dead, repairing fences and generally bringing order out of confusion.
He felt good, very good. He felt a little drunk, not enough to impede his mental processes but enough to give him a fine devil-may-care indifference to what happened next.
