"You'll have half Dunchurch round you, praising you and patting you on the back all in front of Venia, mind you. It'll be put in all the papers and you'll get a medal." "And suppose we are both drowned?" said Mr. Blundell, soberly. "Drowned? Fiddlesticks !" said Mr. Turnbull. "However, please yourself. If you're afraid " "I'll do it," said Blundell, decidedly.
Tarrano in retreat!... Our escape from Venia? Pouf! That was a jest. I was there on Earth merely to get you, and the Brende model. I had no thought of conquering the Earth just then. I accomplished my two purposes and left.... It was not a retreat, merely a planned departure. "But this, my Elza, is very different. I did not wish to do what I am doing now.

They shut off the power early this morning for all low vibrations yours and under. Brought 'em all down for a general traffic inspection. Then changed their minds and threw it on again. But if you're coming out north again, you've got to get out by noon. And you go in at your own peril." He assumed that Argo and his men were Venus refugees going with me into Venia!
