"Now be decent and listen to me, Nat. I've thought this thing over for oh, any amount of time. I'll bet anything it will work. What d'you say? Would you like to try it?" "Would I like to try it?" A conviction of Kellogg's earnestness forced itself upon Duncan's understanding. "Would I !" He lifted his glass and drained it at a gulp. "Why, that's the first laugh I've had for a month!"
He ignored Kellogg's genial protest that that wouldn't be necessary until the chairs were placed facing the screen. As an afterthought, he handed Fuzzies around, giving Little Fuzzy to Ben, Ko-Ko to Gerd, Mitzi to Ruth, Mike to Jimenez and taking Mamma and Baby on his own lap. Baby immediately started to climb up onto his head, as expected. It seemed to disconcert Kellogg, also as expected.
There wasn't time to go into that further. Kellogg's jeep was rising from the camp across the run and approaching. He decided to let the breakfast dishes go till after lunch. Kurt Borch had stayed behind at the Kellogg camp, so he kept an eye on the Fuzzies and brought them back when they started to stray toward the footbridge.
He stamped the foot down on the little bleeding body, and then Jack was within reach of him, and something crunched under the fist he drove into Kellogg's face. Kellogg staggered and tried to raise his hands; he made a strangled noise, and for an instant the idiotic thought crossed Jack's mind that he was trying to say, "Now, please don't misunderstand me."
Listen to me...." And Duncan expounded Kellogg's rules at length, adapting them to Tracey's circumstances, of course; and throughout maintained the gravity of a graven image. "You try, and you'll see if I'm not right," he concluded. "Gosh! I b'lieve you are!" Tracey cried admiringly. "I'm just going to see how it works." "Do, if you'd favour me, Tracey."
"I didn't mean to; mostly, I presume, I've been blundering round an explanation of Kellogg's kindness to me, in my usual ineffectual way felt somehow an explanation was due you, as the latest to suffer through his misplaced interest in me." "Perhaps," said Spaulding, "I am beginning to understand. Go on: I'm interested. About the fish-market?"
"The Zarathustra Company isn't the defendant," O'Brien argued sullenly. "Not of record, no," Brannhard agreed. "But isn't the Zarathustra Company's scientific division headed by one Leonard Kellogg?" "Dr. Kellogg's been relieved of his duties, pending the outcome of the trial. The division is now headed by Dr. Ernst Mallin."
Maybe it was beginning to dawn on him that the Federation courts were bigger than the chartered Zarathustra Company after all. Or maybe he just thought there'd been a revolution. Leonard Kellogg's temporarily Ernst Mallin's office was on the first floor of the penthouse, counting down from the top landing stage.
And, now that he thought of it, it had been one of Kellogg's people, van Riebeek, who had touched off the explosion in the first place. He didn't know van Riebeek himself, but Kellogg should have, and he had handled him the wrong way. He should have known what van Riebeek would go along with and what he wouldn't. "But, Victor, they won't convict Leonard of murder," Emmert was saying.
To contemplate the sum total of the benefits he had received at Kellogg's hands, since the day when the latter had found him ill and half-starved, friendless as a stray pup, on the bench in Washington Square, staggered his imagination.
