My God! It has kept me awake nights!" "Colcord" Simec's white eyes rested professionally upon the host "let us get to the root of your state of mind; your brief is for the individual as against the common good, is it not?" Colcord frowned. "Oh, I haven't any brief, Simec; I've never reasoned about the thing, that is, in a cold, scientific way. It's a matter of heart, I suppose of instinct.
I wish I could but I can't." Bates shifted uneasily. He shrugged. "It's too hypothetical. And yet of course it's absurd yet if the thing could happen, I think I'd stick with Colcord." "In other words" Simec's voice now had a sibilant hiss "if you could end war through your death you'd be willing to die now, or at any specified time?" "If you're talking to me," said Colcord, "I'm on record.
"Now we're getting back to Simec's hostia honoraria and hostia piacularis," laughed Bates. "It is a new viewpoint," sighed Evelyn. "Curiously, I hadn't thought of that." She smiled across the table at her husband, but he was slouched in his chair, his eyes staring vacantly over her head. "Of course you'd all do it, every one," he said presently.
"This is not at all funny." "I don't see the joke, I must confess," grumbled Allison. Evelyn wished that Latham or his wife would add weight to the protest, but they remained silent, staring curiously at the inventor, as, indeed, they had throughout. Now she thought of it, she realized that the two had remained practically aloof from the discussion that had preceded Simec's dénouement.
The prevailing mood impressed Evelyn Colcord strongly, and, glancing down the table, she started at her accuracy in divining the cause. Simec's place was vacant. She recalled now that but a moment before he had been summoned to the telephone. She had noted his temporary departure only as one notices the lifting of a saffron mist.
Simec's colorless delivered question came as from afar. Colcord had arisen and was staring at the inventor with the face of one exalted. "If you have what you say you have, Simec, you meet my condition to the letter. At the very least, it will be a most important asset to the cause of my country.
