They separated, horrified by the ghastly simplicity of the plan. Just following this, Benda received the telegram announcing the prospective visit of his lifelong friend, Dr. Hagstrom. He took it at once to Rohan. "Will my friend be permitted to depart again, if he once gets in here?" he demanded with his customary directness. "It depends on you," Rohan replied blandly.
Benda spent the days intervening between then and the arrival of his friend Hagstrom, closed up in his office, in intense study. He figured things on pieces of paper, committed them to memory, and scrupulously burned the paper. Then he wandered about the park and plucked at leaves and twigs. The Cipher Message Benda conducted me personally to a room very much like an ordinary hotel room.
But I wanted to be there, for Benda was my lifelong friend. I guided them to Rohan's rooms, and saw a dozen dark forms slip in, one by one. Then we went on to the dormitory where Benda lived.

A run up to New York would be just the thing. To his amazement, he was not permitted to board the outbound bus.

I looked at him closely. He looked healthy and well cared-for, all except for a couple of new lines of worry on his face. Undoubtedly that worn look meant some sort of trouble. The New Religion
There is a good deal in the writings of the times to show that life was becoming almost unbearable for three-fourths of humanity. It is only natural, therefore, that Rohan, the prophet of the new religion, found followers more rapidly than he could organize them. About ten years before the visit of Dr. Hagstrom to his friend Benda, Rohan and his new religion had been much in the newspapers.
