"I don't understand it either, but you'll agree that since my precognizer said no ship but Bors's is coming here and he precognized every one of the prizes before they arrived you'll concede that the Mekinese aren't coming here. So you're going out to meet them." He saw Bors, and breathed an audible sigh of relief. "Bors!" he said in a changed tone. "I'm glad you're back!"
"True," said Morgan. "She could have some very unpleasant experiences. I'll be more stern with her." Gwenlyn did not seem alarmed. "One more thing," Bors added. "They say the dictator of Mekin is superstitious, that he patronizes fortune-tellers. Suppose one of them is a Talent? Suppose he gets precognized information?" "I worry about that," admitted Morgan.
If things were different, I I " "You what?" asked Morgan. "By the way! One of our Talents has precognized that your uncle's going back to Tralee as its king again. Largely on your account. You're his heir, aren't you?" Bors blinked. "Hero," said Morgan, waving his hand. "Twenty-two planets adoring you, believing you brought Mekin down single-handed. Aching to work with you, follow you, admire you.
He turned to Morgan, who answered blandly, "One of our Talents precognized an event. We had to come here and help it to happen. Gwenlyn was doubtful, but she's come around." "What was it?" "It hasn't happened yet," said Morgan. He produced a cigar and lighted it. "Gwenlyn, shall I tell him?" "Don't you dare!" said Gwenlyn hotly. Bors said unhappily, "I'm sorry you're going away, Gwenlyn.
One of our Talents precognized you opening parliament next year. So I knew things had to come out right." "Y-yes," said the king, dubiously. "I suppose so. But there had to be efforts, too, to bring it about. Otherwise it wouldn't seem right." "Naturally!" said Morgan.
"When one of my Talents precognized that Gwenlyn was going to marry the heir of the Pretender of Tralee and be Queen of Tralee some day, why, it didn't seem a bit likely. But once I knew about that precognition, I put in a little effort...." King Humphrey was thoughtful. "Things look good," said Morgan expansively. "My Talents are precognizing all over the place.
