At first, it was not positively certain who would reach the fence first and so beat in the race, but Sid's alacrity in starting was so great that he gained the prize, or would have taken it, had any been offered. The others though made very good time, and showed what freemen could do when hard pushed by their oppressors.
Rives, the new dimwit detector. Sid's in direct charge of personnel," he continued, "so you two'll be working together quite a bit." "Glad to know you, doctor," Keating said. Then he turned to Melroy. "Scott, you're really going through with this, then?" he asked. "I'm afraid we'll have trouble, then." "Look, Sid," Melroy said. "We've been all over that.
It was now in the juvenile scrap heap, thanks to an attempt to harness the bit of machinery to the powerful lighting current in Sid's house, but it had been delight indescribable to swing the little switch and watch the armature gain momentum until it hummed like a bee. So the first of his desires ran, "Motor, electric. Batteries, too."
It was er well, Sid and Ida were to blame." "That's the way it looked to me," declared Cora. Ida stared at Jack's sister for a moment, and then, with an open sneer on her face, turned deliberately away. "Oh, I'm so glad we escaped, anyhow!" ejaculated Mary Downes. Her voice attracted Sid's attention. He had not noticed the little work girl before.
Sharp gave a sobbing gasp of relief. "Only a few acres got to go. That won't hurt you." "Thank God for that! And it's goin' to be the best crop we ever had. It's the finest country in the world!" Her face was beaming. "You'd better be getting back," warned Taylor. "Sid's taken the inspector up to give him some dinner." "He hasn't!" said Mrs. Sharp indignantly. "If that isn't just like a man."
Sid's signal reactions were setting away from him again; uranium meant nuclear power to him, and the two words were interchangeable. As she studied the arrangement of the numbers and words, she could hear Tranter saying: "Nuts, Sid. We knew about uranium a long time before anybody found out what could be done with it. Uranium was discovered on Terra in 1789, by Klaproth."
I said: "Gee!" Sid said: "What's that?" "A letter to my sister from that chump. Harry Goward," said I. "I've got to take it to her. Looks pretty sad now." Sid didn't like Harry Goward any more than I did, because he'd borrowed Sid's best racket and left it out in the rain, and then just laughed. So he said: "Not sad enough. Give it to me. I'll fix it."
The club, at Sid's suggestion, had already passed a vote to give no quarter to down-townies, and that in case of trouble it should be "war to the last drop!" They prudently did not say what that drop might be, blood or only perspiration. Here was a grand test-hour close at hand. One of the down-townies raised a provoking cry, "Ho, fellers; see those little ragamuffins!"
Kenny was appalled at the number of heads that appeared at studio windows, the head of Sidney Fahr among them, round-eyed and incredulous. Well, that part at least was normal. Sid's face advertised a chronic distrust of his senses.
"How has he been getting on?" "How do you expect? He looks upon work as something that only damned fools do. Where's Frank?" "Oh, he's out with Sid Sharp. Sid's our neighbor. He has the farm you passed on your way here." "Getting on all right with him, Nora?" "Why, of course," said Nora with just a suggestion of irritation in her voice.
