If you won't consider that we might have meant to make you a gift. Pretty soon you'll have us completely confused!" "What a topic for an evening of fun," Gimp complained. "Hey, Helen can I mix the drinks?" "Yes of course, Mr. Hines. I'll get you the things," she said with apology in her eyes and voice, as if fussy celebrities had descended on her small, unsettled, and poor household.
But Ramos wasn't unkind. He checked himself in time. "No sweat, Tif," he muttered. "Hey, Gimp are you going to sit in that Archie all night?" Joe Kuzak, the easy-going twin, boomed genially. "How about the rest of us?" "Yeah how about that, Gimp?" Dave Lester put in, trying to sound as brash and bold as the others, instead of just bookish.
Maybe he asked, because he got an answer from the grinning, freckled face bending over him, as he lay, armorless, on a sort of pallet, under the taut stellene roof of a Moontent. "Sure Frankie me, Gimp Hines, the itinerant trader and repairman of the lunar wilderness... What a switch didn't think you'd goof! The Bunch especially Two-and-Two couldn't contact you.
"We have limited facilities for this purpose. The U.N.S.F. even less. However, an escort is due in, now. We can move out again, with you, in seven hours." "Thank you, sir," Nelsen responded. Gimp Hines had the better part of the supplies to be purchased already lined up at the warehouses. Nelsen counted the money he had left.
It'll want a piece of binding, or gimp, tacked around the edges. Have you any binding, or gimp, Calthy, that would suit?" Miss Calthea laughed. "You'd better wait until you are ready for it," she said, "and then come and see." "Anyway, I want the calico," said he. "Please put it aside for me, and I'll come in to-morrow and settle for it.
Having got herself arrayed in a dress of sky-blue satin, that ever and anon streams, cloud-like, behind her, and a lace cap of approved fashion, with pink strings nicely bordered in gimp, and a rich Honiton cape, jauntily thrown over her shoulders, and secured under the chin with a great cluster of blazing diamonds, and rows of unpolished pearls at her wrists, which are immersed in crimped ruffles, she doddles up and down the hall in a state of general excitement.
Besides, he had read up on the thickets of Mars, watched motion pictures, heard Gimp Hines' stories of his brief visit here. So, at first, he could be almost casual about what he saw in the peek box. There were many ghastly ways for a man to die. Even the thicket plant in the box seemed dead, though Nelsen knew that plant successors to the original Martians had the rugged power of revival.
The rowel of the spur had so wound itself among the gimp cords in those few moments, that separation was likely to be a matter of time. He too stooped, and the lantern standing on the ground betwixt them threw the gleam from its open side among the fir-tree needles and the blades of long damp grass with the effect of a large glowworm.
Just out of her bath the flower was quite fresh, and perfumed so as to inspire desire in Robert d'Arbrissel. Esther was in a charming toilette. A dress of black corded silk trimmed with rose-colored gimp opened over a petticoat of gray satin, the costume subsequently worn by Amigo, the handsome singer, in I Puritani. A Honiton lace kerchief fell or floated over her shoulders.
Yet he didn't hate Xavier Rodan any less. "The S.O.B. might just get sent to a mental hospital at the worst," Gimp growled loyally. "Well, come on, Frank let's forget it, ditch our Archies at the Hostel, get a culture steak, and look around to see what you've missed..."
