He apparently didn't notice visualizations, and he never made one. His transmission was as stiff and labored as the type of communication he required from others more so, if anything. DeVore scratched his neck. "How," he asked himself, "does one define a telepathic monotone?"
In daily double-leaded editorial columns the chief preached a Holy War, and in the local pages we fought the foe tooth and nail, biting and gouging and clawing, and they gouged and clawed back at us like catamounts. That was where the hard work fell upon Devore. He had to keep half his scanty staff working on politics while the other half tried to cover the run of the news.
If Central Coördinating wants to put the device on a national basis, we can't do anything about it." Morely looked down at the letter, then glared searchingly at DeVore. "The way I read this," he declared, "they want to distribute manufacturing rights on the communicator to plants in other regions than this. Right?" "Yes, sir."
He kept his tongue between his teeth and his teeth locked; and that must have been hard on Devore, for he was a flickery, high-tempered man, and nervous as a cat besides. To my knowledge, the only time he ever broke out was when we teetotally missed the Castleton divorce story. So far as the major's part in it was concerned, it was the Stickney veto story all over again, with variations.
I am sure that the trees will be well trimmed," he whispered. "Think of Mamie Devore in the thick of the great jelly competition, while the weight of Joe Mathewson's shoulders starts a spade into the soil as if it were going right to the centre of the earth. Why, Joe is likely to get us into international difficulties by poking the ribs of a Chinese ancestor!
Devore, who had been sitting next to the major, with his shoulder half turned from the old man, swung round sharply and interrupted him. "Major," he said, with a thin icy stream of sarcasm trickling through his words, "did you and the governor by any remote chance discuss anything so brutally new and fresh as the present political complications in this state?" "Oh, yes," said the major blandly.
There was one terrible moment when he failed to make a footing with his hind feet and we hung there over the gorge. After that, Dan Devore led him. In spite of our difficulties, we got down to the timber-line rather quickly. But there trouble seemed to increase rather than diminish. Trees had fallen across the way, and dangerous détours on uncertain footing were necessary to get round them.
Colonel Devore motioned them to follow him, and, saluting the French commander, the lads filed out of the tent. Colonel Devore introduced them to his own quarters and, waving his hand airily, exclaimed: "You will make yourselves perfectly at home here as long as you may stay." "Thank you, Colonel," said Chester. "We appreciate your hospitality."
"But they don't say anything about our continuing the Consolidated payments on an overwrite basis, for the sale of devices they may make. Now, do they?" "No, sir. But that's implied. In cases like this, Central always takes over all rights." DeVore hesitated. "I believe regulations " "I don't care what's implied, DeVore. And I don't care what you believe. All I see is what's in this letter.
He made full contact with the man, rapidly summarizing his conversation with DeVore, and including DeVore's short flash of his own conversation with Ward Kirk. "And get a rundown from personnel. Dig up something on their angle, too. Several representative cases. Get a few people to help you many as you need. I'm going to take this whole mess in to the Chief tomorrow morning."
