She added, "I got rather frightened when Commissioner Tate was first telling me what had been going on." "Yes, I know." Pilch was silent for some moments again, considering the wall-screen as if thinking about something connected with it. "Well, we'll drop that for now," she said finally.
After one ball, in the negotiation of which neither your bat, nor your pads, nor your gloves came into play, they send you back into the pavilion to spend the rest of the afternoon listening to fatuous stories of some old gentleman who knew Fuller Pilch. And when your side takes the field, where are you? Probably at long leg both ends, exposed to the public gaze as the worst fieldsman in London.
And here's something else very interesting that's going on at present." "What's that?" "The real hush-hush reason for Mantelish's expedition," Trigger explained, "is, of course, to scout around this whole area of space with planetary plasmoid detectors. They don't want anybody stumbling on another setup like Harvest Moon and accidentally activating another king plasmoid." "Yes," Pilch said.
Presently she said, "If you're bent on it, go to Mr Pilch, round the corner; he's the only doctor I'll let come in my house. You can have him or nobody, that's flat!" In two minutes Reginald was battering wildly at Mr Pilch's door.
You should have seen the kind of place the old farmer kept it when it wasn't working." "I did," said Pilch. "Long, wide, straight-walled pit in the ground. Cover for shade, plenty of food, running water. He was a good farmer. Very high locked fence around it to keep little girls and anyone else from getting too close to his useful monster." "Right," said Trigger. She shook her head.
Mr Pilch may have known very little of medicine, but he knew enough to make him shake his head as he saw the boy. "Regular bad case that. Smallpox and half a dozen things on the top of it. I can't do anything." "Can you give me no medicine for him, or tell me what food he ought to take or what? Surely there's a chance of his getting better?" Mr Pilch laughed quietly.
"Of course. That sort of thing is sometimes told to nervous interviewees. We don't bother with it. But now supposing I told you very sincerely that no recording will be made of any little personal glimpses we may get?" "Lying again." "Right again," said Pilch. "You've been scanned about as thoroughly as anyone ever gets to be outside of a total therapy.
And on Maccadon, in just a few weeks, you'd begun working that moderate inclination to be back in the Manon System up to a dandy first-rate compulsion." Trigger licked her lips. "Sure," said Pilch. "You had to have a good sensible reason. You gave yourself one." "Well!" "Oh, you were fond of that young man, all right. Who wouldn't be? Wonderful-looking lug.
Presently she said, "I have a feeling that does mean something. But all I get is that it's the faces of two clocks. On one of them the hands are going around very fast. And on the other they go around slowly." "Yes," Pilch said. She waited a little. "No other thought about those clocks? Just that they should mean something?" Trigger shook her head. "That's all."
"So you wouldn't have been working with me if whatever has been going on weren't somehow connected with the plasmoids." "Oh, yes, I would," said Pilch. "Or old Cranadon. Someone like that. We do give service as required when somebody has the good sense to ask for it. But obviously, we couldn't have dropped that other job just now and come to Manon to clear up some individual difficulty."
