"Well," said Connel, accepting a wedge of pie at Mrs. Hill's insistence, "now they've made the wrong move. Burning Sinclair's property and attacking an officer of the Solar Guard is going too far." "What are you going to do about it?" asked George. "I'm not at liberty to say, Mr. Hill," replied Connel. "But I can tell you this.
He was waiting for Marion she had sent word she should come and he came out of the front door into the sunshine with a smile of welcome when he saw Dicksie with her. Dicksie, long an admirer of Sinclair's, as women usually were, had recast somewhat violently her opinions of him. She faced him now with a criminal consciousness that she knew too much.
"There is not much of the precious commodity to be found in our days; the young men one meets in society are not cut after that pattern. And so Mrs. Sinclair is ailing again?" "'Seriously indisposed, was Mr. Sinclair's expression; and he looked rather grave, I thought." "My dear creature, Neville always looks grave, as though he were engaged in a criminal investigation.
The odor of musk became in an instant sickening. Dicksie threw the music disdainfully aside, and sprang up with a flushed face to leave the room.

He opened fire, squeezing the trigger rapidly. The first row of green-clad men were immediately frozen. Dropping to one knee, the spaceman again opened fire, and men in the second row stiffened as they tried to return the fire. "Fire! Cut him down!" roared Hilmarc frantically. The men broke ranks and the area in front of Sinclair's house crackled with paralo-ray gunfire.
