It had been off Meriden for five minutes then. Mekinese fighting ships were boiling up from the atmosphere of Meriden and plunging out to space to offer battle. They were surprisingly ready, reacting like hair-triggered weapons. Bors hadn't completed his challenge before they were streaking toward Meriden's sky.
Schmidt said she would rather be the dirtiest shepherdess on Sentis than a physician in Meriden. "Very well," cried Peter, "we will cross the ocean again and settle in Berne or Zürich." As always when Peter Schmidt made this proposition, Mrs. Schmidt's face took on an expression of hard, hostile determination. It did not escape Frederick's notice. Everything Mrs.
The leading American makers turn out good goods, far above the average English or German; but the consumer is not able to tell whether he is using an American or foreign-made knife, because of the habit of branding everything with American names, and we have to bear the curse." "Why is it that Meriden people hang together so?" I asked. "Do we?" he asked, laughing.
"You can't change human nature, Mr. Shivers," Edward would insist in his precise but ineffectual manner. "We all want property, you would accept a fortune if it was offered to you, and so should I. Americans will never become socialists." "But look at me, wasn't I born in Meriden, Connecticut? Ain't that Yankee enough for you?" Thus Mr. Shivers sought blandly to confound him.

But he had never seen a Mekinese fighting-man face to face. Filled with such hatred as he felt, he meant to do so now. A space-boat came up from the ground. The Horus trained weapons on it.
On their way home Stanistreet congratulated Tyson. "By Jove! you've fallen on your feet, Tyson. They tell me Miss Batchelor is interested in you." "I am not interested in Miss Batchelor. Who is she?" "She is only Miss Batchelor of Meriden Court the richest land-owner in Leicestershire." "Good heavens! Why doesn't somebody marry her?" "Miss Batchelor, they say, is much too clever for that."
And if, Indian fashion, he laid his ear to the ground, he already heard the festive music being rehearsed below ground that is to be played on the great day of a universal renaissance. "All of us," he said, "should first be Americanized and then become neo-Europeans." One of Frederick's favourite walks was to the suburb of Meriden where the Italian wine-growers settled.
