Reif said, "You can supply such weapons to my armies?" Plekhanov said, "That is our intention, in time." Reif came erect. "Subject to the approval of the clan leaders, I am now Khan. Tell me more of this State of which you have spoken." The sergeant stopped the small company about a quarter of a mile from the city of Bari.
Reif's ten-year-old son came up next to him and peered down at the map. "What's that child doing here?" Plekhanov snapped. Reif looked into the other's face. "This is Taller Second, my son. You from First Earth have never bothered to study our customs. One of them is that a Khan's son participates in all battles his father does. It is his training."
Reif and the three Earthlings were bent over a military map depicting the area. Barry Watson traced with his finger. "There are only two major passes into this valley. We have this one, they dominate that." Plekhanov was scowling, out of his element and knowing it. "How many men has Mynor been able to get together?" Watson avoided looking into the older man's face.
As they passed Security Police guards, to left and right, eyes took in their weapons, openly carried. But such eyes shifted and the guards remained at their posts. Only one sergeant opened his mouth in protest. "Sir," he said to Watson, hesitantly, "you are entering Number One's presence armed." "Shut up," Natt Roberts rapped at him. Reif said, "That will be all, sergeant."
Then the birds of the raven rugs and reives, And the leal men of Lothian, are louping on their horse; Then shall the poor people be spoiled full near, And the Abbeys be burnt truly that stand upon Tweed They shall burn and slay, and great reif make: There shall no poor man who say whose man he is: Then shall the land be lawless, for love there is none.
Klirr! The rapier fell on the floor, and Balder with it. "Confound you, do take care. Didn't I warn you?" An energetic knocking at the door of communication interrupted me. "Herr Reif, I must really beg you to be quiet," called my landlady's daughter, not by any means in her sweetest tones. "We've been kept awake for the last hour."
That's the bad spot, that right flank has to hold." Plekhanov's thick lips trembled. He said in fury, "Is this insubordination?" Reif turned on his heel and followed by young Taller and his staff hurried down the knoll to where their horses were tethered. Chessman said to Hawkins, "If you've got the fuel, Dick, maybe it'd be a good idea to keep them under observation.
"Especially in view of the fact that we have a machine on the ship capable of transmuting metals." Leonid Plekhanov, Joseph Chessman, Barry Watson, Khan Reif and several of the Tulan army staff stood on a small knoll overlooking a valley of several square miles. A valley dominated on all sides but the sea by mountain ranges.
"I was coughing to make you quiet, that endless murmuring made me so nervous!" cried Fräulein Lieschen, her voice trembling with annoyance. "I'm writing a poem, I tell you, and when one is composing a poem one must murmur. If you can't sleep through it, you can't be healthy. You must have eaten too much supper, or something. You can congratulate yourself that you've got such a lodger as Reif.
A spark and all Texcoco goes up in flames." Reif said coldly, "We need immediate reforms. They've got to be pacified. An immediate announcement of more consumer goods, fewer State taxes, above all a relaxation of Security Police pressures. Given immediate promise of these, we might maintain ourselves." Joe Chessman's sullen face was twitching at the right corner of his mouth.
