Mike flung himself at the Chief, literally snarling. His small fist hit the Chief's face and Mike was small but he was not puny. The "crack" of the impact was loud in the car. Haney grabbed. There was a moment's frenzied struggling. Then Mike was helplessly wrapped in Haney's arms, incoherent with fury and shame. "Crazy fool!" grunted the Chief, feeling his jaw. "What's the matter with you?
And off they dashed with furious clatter, leaving her to slowly retrace her lonely way, feeling very tired, very old, and very sad. Bertha was perfectly, perilously happy. It was almost her first escape from the brooding care and weight of Haney's presence. She felt as she used to feel when speeding away on swift gallop to the ranch with some companion as care-free as herself.
She took Haney's big nerveless hand in her firm grasp, and together they listened to the solemn words which made them husband and wife.
Mike's sharp voice barked: "What's the chance, Haney?" Haney's mouth opened, and closed, and opened again. "Rocket flames," he gasped, "pushed back wind splash on hull may melt lighten weight hundred to one against " The odds were worse than that. The ship couldn't land because its momentum was too great for the landing rockets to cancel out.
As they returned to the porch, Bertha put her hand on Haney's shoulder, in the manner of one man to another, saying: "I'm going for a little ride with these people, Captain, if you don't mind." "Not a whiff," he answered. "I'll be here when you come back." Again a subtle cadence in his voice so belied his smile that Alice's heart responded to it.
We'll have a space-tow up, and not bother to bring the barges back! There won't be any landing rockets! They'll carry double cargo! That's the answer! A space tug hauling a tow to the Platform!" "But, Joe," insisted Sally, "I didn't think of " The Chief heaved himself up. Haney's voice cut through what the Chief was about to say.
"You guys can come in now," said Haney's voice in Joe's headphones. "It's all okay. Mike's pumping out the other locks too, so you can come in at any of 'em." The space-suited figures clumped loudly to airlock doors. There were a dozen or more small airlocks in various parts of the hull, besides the great door to admit supply ships.
How much Haney's mines were pouring forth he did not know, but their wealth was said to be enormous. Every day added to the potentiality of this gray-eyed girl who stood so trustfully, so like a pupil, before him. He spoke with emotion. "I'll do what I can to advise you and help you, and so will Alice. Allen Crego is a good man he has your legal business, I believe?"
However we look at it, whoever may have been Haney's accomplice, that point seems settled." "Or else Haney lied," declared Mr. Wynne flatly. "If Haney came here alone, killed this old man and stole the diamonds there would be none of these questions, would there?" Mr. Birnes, who had listened silently, arose suddenly and left the room. Mr.
The woman stared a moment; then a slow grin developed on her face so like to Haney's own that Bertha laughed. The lost sister was found. As Haney neared her, he called out: "Well, Fan, ye're the same old sloven ye were when I used to kick your shins in Troy for soapin' me mouth." "Mart Haney, by the piper!" she exclaimed, wiping her lips and hands in anticipation of a caress.
