There was to be a banquet at which he would sit next to the planet's chief executive and hear innumerable speeches about the splendor of Weald.

He asked him whether he recognised him, and Sand's head was so clear when he stabbed himself, that although he saw the major only for a moment and had never seen him again since, he remembered the minutest details of the costume which he had been wearing fourteen months previously, and which was the full-dress uniform.
