Nothing can have been more unworthy of him than the sneer at Pitt in the great speech on the Nabob of Arcot's debts , for stopping to pick up chaff and straws from the Irish revenue instead of checking profligate expenditure in India. Pitt's alternative was irresistible.
The sphere seemed to flow, and was a disc two feet across as Arcot's toneless voice of concentration continued. "It is changing into a hand, like a human hand." The disc changed into a human hand, the fingers slightly bent, the soft, white fingers of a woman with the pink of the flesh and the wrinkles at the knuckles visible.
"Oh, no," said Wade, waving his pipe in a grand gesture of importance. "Arcot just decided he didn't like that law and made a new one himself." "Now wait a minute!" said Fuller. "The velocity of light is a property of space!" Arcot's bantering smile was gone. "Now you've got it, Fuller. The velocity of light, just as Einstein said, is a property of space. What happens if we change space?"
In laboriously erecting his edifice of reasoning he also studiously regards the intellects and the passions of ordinary men; strives to bring his mind into cordial relations with theirs; employs every faculty he possesses to give reality, to give even visibility, to his thoughts; and though he never made a speech which rivals that of Burke on the Nabob of Arcot's Debts, in respect to grasp of understanding, astounding wealth of imagination and depth of moral passion, he always so contrived to organize his materials into a complete whole, that the result stood out clearly to the sight of the mind, as a structure resting on strong foundations, and reared to due height by the mingled skill of the artisan and the artist.
By win I mean force us to let them attack Ortol. They can't really attack us; artificial space is a perfect defense." Arcot's molecular ray apprized the Thessians of his presence. Their screen flared up once more. Arcot was driving straight toward their ship as they turned. He snapped the relux screens in front of his eyes an instant before the enemy cosmics reached his ship.
But the greatest of Burke's speeches, if we look merely at the richness and variety of mental power and the force and depth of moral passion displayed in it, is his speech on the Nabob of Arcot's Debts.
Then he drew a dotted line from Earth to the planet they were now on. Torlos looked at him in incredulous wonder. Again he indicated his respect for Arcot's brain. Arcot smiled and indicated the city. "Can we go there?" he projected into the other's mind. Torlos turned and glanced toward the end of the corridor. There was no one in sight, so he shouted an order in a deep, pleasant voice.
Arcot's thoughts were pure reflection, but the Talsonian brightened at once. "I feared it might be alternating but we can handle direct current. All our transmission is done at high voltage direct current. What potential do you generate? Will we have to install changers?"
When he hears that I want to go gallivanting off all over the Universe with you guys, he is very likely to turn thumbs down on the whole deal. Besides, Arcot's dad has a lot of influence around here, too, and I have a healthy hunch he won't like the idea, either." "I rather fear he won't," agreed Arcot gloomily.
"Fine what is it?" asked Morey after vainly striving to deduce some sense from the formulas that were chasing through Arcot's thoughts.
