Their expressions ran the gamut from sheepishness to blank haughtiness. MacDonald bug-eyed. "Dean ... Rosetti ... the Temple priests burned you at the stake!" They grinned at him, shamefaced. "Guess not," Dean said. "We were kidnaped. We've been teaching basic science, in some phony monastery." Watson's face was white. "Joe," he said. "Yeah," Joe Chessman growled. "You sold me out.
