Miss Woodhull could not endure tears; she had never shed one in her life so far as she could recall and she wished to end the scene forthwith.

Then, and not until then, did silence return, did the dummy upon Stetson's rifle again raise its head. But this time there was no response. They waited a minute, two minutes tried the ruse again, and it was as before. Had they really hit the man out there, as they hoped, or was he, conscious of a trick, merely lying low? Who could tell?

The doctor's words still rang in Stetson's ears: "This patient's vital tone is too low to permit operative replacement of damaged organs. He'll live for a while because of the pod, but " And the doctor had shrugged. Stetson slumped into his desk chair, looked out the open port beside him.
After all, he is supposed to be here for a rest." Her answer was lost as Orne entered the hall, closed the door. In the privacy of his room, Orne pressed the transceiver stud at his neck, said: "Stet?" A voice hissed in his ears: "This is Mr. Stetson's relief. Orne, isn't it?" "Yes. I want a check right away on those Nathian records the archaeologists found.
Consequently the south wing was left entirely to Miss Stetson's supervision, and the south wing was a pretty sizable building and naturally under existing circumstances, it did not simmer down as promptly as under ordinary conditions.

Diana had jumped to her feet, backed away from him.
Jasper's brows stood out like bristles, and the eyes under them were red and fierce like a mad bull's. Again Rome's blows fell, but again the Lewallen reached him, and this time he got his face under the Stetson's chin, 'id the heavy fist fell upon the back of his head, and upon his neck, as upon wood and leather.
