She went up to the station to meet Louis at half-past eleven in alternating moods of trembling softness and militancy, softness to welcome him, belligerency for Ole Fred and the gang, and strange gusts of helpless, blazing, hungry joy at the thought of getting him away from them, all to herself. Almost she wished she could snatch him from life itself.

Reason for operation: Rediscovery & Re-education after two years on the planet failed to detect signs of militancy. The R&R agent had been drained of information, then killed.
