Not one was left. When I forsook Hanamenu, the whole population moved with me. Sure, I was decent to them, that was all. "I never want to see the white man's country again. I have starved in the big cities, and worked like a dog for the banana trust in the West Indies. I have begged a cup of coffee in San Francisco, and been fanned by a cop's club.
It's as if the river had spoken or a tree it's so it's so different. That saved me that verse that I remembered. I said it over and over and over again to myself. I fitted it to the ferry whistles on the bay to the cop's steps as they passed again to the roar of the L-train and the jangling of the surface cars.
But I took little heed of them, looking in dull wonderment at John Fry, and Smiler, and the blunderbuss, and Peggy. John Fry was scratching his head, I could see, and getting blue in the face, by the light from Cop's parlour-window, and going to and fro upon Smiler, as if he were hard set with it.
The traffic cop's defeat had been rather public; and just as soon as he could stand up straight in the pulpit, the minister meant to preach a series of sermons against the laxity of a police force that permits such outrages to occur in broad daylight. More than that, the thing was in the papers, and people were reading and giggling on the street cars and in restaurants.
Well, some coves down to Cow Flat come up an' stole my goat, Butts, an' a lot of others, an' me an' some other fellers is goin' after 'em t'-night, late. A good sheep-dog what's a quiet worker 'd be spiffin. Cop's all right. He'd work fer me.

They were simply cops on assignment to get the semi-freighter Cerberus back in shape to travel on her lawful occasions among the stars, and to see that she and her passengers and crew got to the destination for which they'd started. The cop's purpose was essentially routine. And the Huks couldn't possibly imagine it.
"And I'll tell you why. Witnesses saw me give you the money to-night, and last week, too. I've been getting fixed for you." Cork put the wad of money carefully into his pocket, and said: "Come on, Fanny; let's have some chop suey before we go home." "Clear out, quick, both of you, or I'll " The cop's bluster trailed away into inconsequentiality. At the corner of the street the two halted.
'I'm a sure-'nough sleut', he says. 'I blows into dis house at de special request of Mr. McEachern, de American gent. De odder mug hands de lemon again. 'Tell it to de King of Denmark, he says. 'Dis cop's de limit. Youse has enough gall fer ten strong men, he says. 'Show me to Mr. McEachern, says Galer. 'He'll crouch, is dat it?" "Vouch?" suggested Jimmy. "Meaning give the glad hand to."
Come on, Cap'n, we gotta get out the vote." Murdoch shook his head. "In the first place, I'm not registered." Izzy grinned. "Every cop's registered in his own precinct; Wayne got the honor system fixed for us. Show your papers and go into any booth in your territory. That's all. And you'd better be seen voting often, too, Cap'n. What's your precinct?" "Eleventh, but I'm not voting.
He saw us and waved to us, and then suddenly the spaceport cop's face got as white as my shirt and he grabbed Bish by the arm. Bish didn't change color; he just shook off the cop's hand, got to his feet, dropped his cigar, and took a side skip out into the aisle. "Murell!" he yelled. "Freeze!
