Some of the women's locals existed for a good many years, but a large proportion are recorded as having lapsed or suspended after one or two years.
Either Valkanhayn and Spasso had more men than the size of their ships indicated, or they had gotten a lot of locals to work for them. More than the population of the moribund city, at least as Harkaman remembered it. There had been about five hundred in all; they lived by mining the old buildings for metal, and trading metalwork for food and textiles and powder and other things made elsewhere.
I could almost pity them, if it weren't so funny." He laughed again. "You know what their idea was?" Trask shook his head. "Who are they?" "What I called them, a couple of chicken thieves. They raid planets like Set and Hertha and Melkarth, where the locals haven't anything to fight with or anything worth fighting for. I didn't know they'd teamed up, but that figures.
Today, it is a civilized world, and one of Marduk's best friends. You know, sometimes I think a few lights are coming on again, here and there in the Old Federation. If so, you Space Vikings are helping to light them." "You mean the planets we use as bases, and the things we teach the locals?" "That, too, of course. Civilization needs civilized technologies.
Spring began to loosen up about the first of March, an' by that time Artie owed me two million real dollars. Locals an' Hammy was into me for close to a billion, but I didn't treasure their humble offerings much, 'ceptin' as pipe-lighters. We was keyed up to a high pitch by this time, an' was beginnin' to get thin and ringey about the eyes.
"Passenger brought off from the Lusitania in a private tug. Orders are to let her through all the way to London." "I know all about that," the station-master grumbled. "I have three locals on my hands already, been held up for half an hour. Old Glynn, the director's, in one of them too. Might be General Manager to hear him swear." "Is she signalled yet?" Liverpool asked.
"But let's get some more tallies if we can," urged Sanger. This, however, was not possible; for Grant gave his prettiest exhibition in the ninth, striking out three fellows in succession with that perplexing drop, which apparently he had mastered. "This is our last chance, boys," said Eliot, as the locals gathered at the bench. "One run is a small margin, and no game is lost until it's won."
If I was really going to put in a base here, I wouldn't thank that pair for the kind of public-relations work they've been doing among the locals." That was just about the situation. Spasso and Valkanhayn and some of their officers met them on the landing stage of the big building in the middle of the spaceport, where they had established quarters.
Artie from losin', me from longin' for the time to come when I should start out to be a little Monte Cristo on my own hook, an' Locals an' Hammy, from pityin' Artie an' envyin' me. On the twenty-fifth of March a wagon-load of grub an' four men came out to get things started.
Well, those two had what they called a war of wits until finally Locals hit Hammy with a chair, which was the way most o' their discussions ended; but it turned out that what Hammy was tryin' to say was that we should open the trunks, dress ourselves in the clothes, an' give a show.
