Such a vortex-ring is made by the smoker who purses his lips into a round hole and sends out a puff of smoke. The outside of the ring is kept back by the friction of his lips while the inside is going forwards; thus a rotation is set up all round the smoke-ring as it travels out into the air."
In fine, if we suppose the material universe to be composed of a series of vortex-rings developed from an invisible universe which is not a perfect fluid, it will be ephemeral, just as the smoke-ring which we develop from air, or that which we develop from water, is ephemeral, the only difference being in duration, these lasting only for a few seconds, and the others it may be for billions of years."
But the real ones like to jump in and help the old world along!" "Oh, but do take a chauffeur," he pleaded. Miss Sinclair gave him a mocking smile. "Would you mind my running my own little show in my own little way?" she observed sweetly. He blew out a large smoke-ring and did not reply. His honest, sunburned face assumed a far-away expression. Coal Oil Johnny was thinking!
She felt those subtle restrictions which come upon us in fatigue. Had she slept well she would have greeted him as soon as she saw him. Now it was impossible. He had got into another world. She watched his smoke-ring. The air had carried it slowly away from him, and brought it out intact upon the landing. "Two hundred and five eighty-two. In any case I shall put them on Bari, not on Florence.
He stretched himself, lay back in his chair, sent a smoke-ring circling toward the ceiling, and watched it, smiling absently. "Rather a facer for our friend Goldberger," he added, after a minute. "What's the matter with Goldberger? He seemed rather peeved with you this afternoon." "No wonder. He's Grady's man, and we're after Grady.
Exactly like you." He reclined on the table and blew a fat smoke-ring. "And why won't you tell me the numbers? I have dreamt of a red hen that is two hundred and five, and a friend unexpected he means eighty-two. But I try for the Terno this week. So tell me another number." Miss Abbott did not know of the Tombola. His speech terrified her.

"Everywhere," said Bors. "But we've computers for it. And they're quite adequate." Logan shrugged. "Then what do you need me for?" "You tell me!" said Bors, nettled. "Certainly we don't need calculations for space-travel. We've no long journey in mind. We're simply going to go out and do some fighting when the Mekinese fleet gets here." Logan blew another smoke-ring.
I struck the match and held it, while the invalid inhaled with normal lips; and suddenly I sighed. I was irresistibly reminded of my poor dear old Raffles. A smoke-ring worthy of the great A. J. was floating upward from the sick man's lips. "And now take one yourself. I have smoked more poisonous cigarettes. But even these are not Sullivans!" I cannot repeat what I said. I have no idea what I did.
"What we need," said Bors desperately, "is a means to compute courses for our missiles so they'll hit, and that the enemy can't counter-compute so that his missiles can't compute how to change course in order to cancel ours out." He was astonished as the words left his mouth. This was what was needed, of course. But then he realized that it couldn't be done. Logan blew a smoke-ring.
