"Same point: round the boat and home again." "And it's ten sovs. to five, Hart?" "All right. You'll lose, Carteret." Carteret laughed. He saw the five sovereigns as surely in his possession as he saw the sculls in his hands. There was no trouble with the start this time, and they were off at once. Lord Hartledon took the lead.
"The theory today is, Nadine, old thing, that professionals such as the captain are gathering experience in case a serious fracas with the Sovs ever develops. Meanwhile his training is kept at a fine edge fighting in our inter-corporation, inter-union, or union-corporation fracases that develop in our private enterprise society." She laughed her scorn. "And what a theory!
The Sovs haven't been exposed to religion for several generations, Joe. Probably the Party heads had forgotten it as a potential danger. Here in the West-world we do better. The Temple provides us with a pressure valve in that particular area, but I still wouldn't like to see our trank and Telly bemused morons subjected to a sudden blast of revival-type religion." Joe looked back at Holland.
"You could have paid me three sovs. by this time," replied Harvey, "so just out with the dust." Mole made no reply. Jefferson then added his congratulations. "Pshaw!" said Jack. "Mr. Mole did it all." "How?" "Why, he poisoned the poor shark with his wooden legs. It's enough to make a fish disgusted with life." A loud laugh followed.
However, rumors have been coming out of the Sov-world, and particularly Siberia, and the more backward countries to the south, such as Sinkiang. Rumors of an underground organized to overthrow the Sovs." "And that religious thing," Nadine added. Frank Hodgson murmured, "Yes, indeed. We received two more reports of it today." All looked at him. He said to Joe, "Some fanatic in Siberia.
You mean you got no promotion at all?" Joe said, "I was upped to Low-Middle from High-Lower, sir. At my age, at the time, quite a promotion." Baron Haer was remembering, too. "That was the fracas that brought on the howl from the Sovs. They claimed those mitrailleuse were post-1900 and violated the Universal Disarmament Pact. Yes, I recall that.
However, he continued to think of licking Harberth the "jolliest" thing he could conceive, until his mind wandered home to Lucille, and he enhanced the imaginary jollity by conceiving her present.... "Sturdy little brute," observed a big Fifth Form boy seated with a couple of friends on the bench beside him, "but I'd lay two to one in sovs.
Hawke was eager and disposed to be liberal. "Oh! A hundred sovs for the job, as you lay it out and fifty for my little incidentals," laughed Jack Blunt. "Of course, if it goes on to anything serious, you'll have to put away the real 'boodle, where I have something to run with, if I have to cut it. I might run up a dangerous plant!" "Bah!" decisively said Hawke.
"In my opinion, gentlemen, you could not have done otherwise. Hem!" Then that common phrase, "You could have heard a pin drop," might have been used with respect to that vast assemblage. That "hem!" was a very fatal sign with Mr. Justice Bantam, as the bar well knew. "I'll take you six to five in sovs he gives him seven years," whispered one learned gentleman to another, without moving his lips.
Gus had doubled up under the weight of his hand as though he had been a leaf. Cotton dimly felt that for a fellow of his build and weight to let Gus have the full benefit of both was not fair. "That is how it must feel, I suppose, to strike a girl. My fist seems unclean," he said, in huge disgust. "I'd give Todd his three sovs. back if I could recall that blow.
