He then sent his mind down into the brain of the bulldog, and watched through its eyes until he saw the kennel steward leave for the night. Then Hanlon went down to the kennel deck. Sitting on the same bench as before, Hanlon sent his mind into that of the white bull. Again he had no trouble attaching a portion of his mind to the dog's brain.
If I waited to hear you, that would be no test at all. Simply will me, and then follow, whether I am on the right track or not. But keep your mind on the goal, and look toward it if convenient. Of course, the looking toward it is no help to me, save as it serves to fix your mind more firmly on the matter." And then Hanlon seemed to go more carefully.
This was the circumstance which brought them together at first, and it was something of a dry, mysterious manner which Hanlon observed in this fellow, when talking about the Prophet and his daughter, that caused him to keep up the intimacy between them.
Who ... or what ... was he? Hanlon went first to the bank, and made out a card for his own box. But once in the vault, and the attendant gone out, it was box 1044 he opened. There was a note for him. "Welcome to Simonides," he read. "My name here is Art Georgopoulis. I work at present as a bartender at the Golden Web, on Thermopylae street.
"Say, I just wondered," Hanlon interrupted Geck's thanks. "Do you have any idea where your planet is located in space? I mean, do you know the suns closest to yours, anything about their distances or magnitudes?" Geck's thoughts and expression were a blank, and it took most of the work-period even to make him understand what Hanlon was trying to ask.
"Gee, I hope they let me work on codes." Hanlon shrugged. "They probably will, Dick. They try to fit us where we can do the most good, Rogers said." He picked up a book and sat down, apparently studying intently, and young Trowbridge resumed his own lessons. Hanlon began practicing his mind-reading at every opportunity.
"Thank you, Mr. Mortimer," Hanlon spoke quietly. "I made no mystery of my performance; I had no confederate, no paraphernalia. All there was to see could be seen by all. You willed me; I followed your will. That is all." The simple manner and pleasant demeanor of the young man greatly attracted Eunice, who smiled at him kindly.
The man stopped his struggles for the moment, while his face showed plainly how aghast he was at this interfering stranger's apparent knowledge of his intentions. "Who are you, huh, and what's your game, what's your game?" Hanlon made his voice seem both friendly and calculating, and hurried on with his specious explanation before the fellow should start fighting again.
He was still inside the palace of the conspirators, and it would undoubtedly not be too long before someone would enter the room seeking His Highness, and would find him and the dead men. For desperate minutes Hanlon considered every angle of the matter, and found only one possibility that might offer some chance of release and safety.
Suddenly, at one side, there seemed to be a more determined demonstration, and Hanlon tore his gaze from it, remembering his instructor's words: "Disregard specific diversions in one spot! Let the police handle those you must watch most carefully then for assassins!" Instantly he was more alert, more carefully scanning the whole scene before him, his eyes travelling forth and back.
