The Taber family did not preserve that note; but in the Treasury Department of the United States, among Washington's memoranda of expenditures, is the item under date of Nov. 6, 1778, "To Cash paid servant for bringing cheese from Mr. Taber, 16 shillings."
The tape recorder stuck to the bottom of the Taber conference coffeepot had cost Senator Crane a hundred dollars. He had now listened to it four times and was pacing the floor of his office, scowling darkly at the walls. An android! What in hell was an android? What kind of a stupid, impossible thing was this?
"We thought maybe my brother broke his leg and then dropped dead or or something. Anyhow, I got this here court order they gave it to me and I showed it to Taber " "Who are they?" Blackwell felt strangely excited. He felt as though this man were a friend, although he didn't know quite why. "Well, you see I've been around a long time. I run errands and things for Senator Crane.
But if you have considerable money, you had better leave it in the office safe. You can pay me when we return. The sing-song girls in Hong-Kong are far handsomer. That is a part of the show in Hong-Kong. But here it is China." "If you will not take me, I'll find some guide who will." "I will take you. I simply warn you." "I advise you against this trip, Mr. Taber," said the manager.
Let's say you've got me licked. I'll admit I should have reacted a little less arrogantly. My nerves were shot. I'd been up late too often. Now I'm ready to be reasonable." Crane was scowling. "This isn't like you, Taber not like you at all. I'm suspicious. Why are you suddenly so agreeable?" "Because I believe the nation the world is in great danger.
They were certainly too well aware of the gravity of this situation to let petty politics interfere. Or were they? "Okay, Doc," Brent said crisply. "Thanks for letting me pick your brain." "Good luck, son." Entman went back to his work and Taber left. As he walked down the corridor, he analyzed the cheerful tone of Entman's voice and told himself that even Entman didn't really believe it.
The three new short story writers who show most promise are Gertrude Nafe and Thomas Beer, whose first stories appeared in the Century Magazine during 1917, and Elizabeth Stead Taber, whose story, "The Scar," when it appeared in the Seven Arts, attracted much favorable comment.
To be of service to his electorate, Senator Crane realized, he had to have something tangible in the way of evidence. The only way to get this was to ferret out Taber's contacts and locate the tenth android himself, or at least be there when Taber located the creature.
"I reckon you can wait to eat," Sally Taber had suggested; "ole Andy has been dyin' with consumption ever since dat time when he went to The Forge an' got baptized in his wife's night shift him not being able to get a robe! Andy took a mighty stiff chill that-er-day an' it war like a finger pintin' the way to his grave.
Also, he was a man of robust hates and great loyalties; a man whom Brent Taber was honored to call friend. He was also a man Brent Taber was waiting to hear from. The call came late in the afternoon of the day following Charles Blackwell's search for his would-be brother. Taber picked up the phone. "It's me Callahan. He's here, Mr. Taber." "Thanks. I'll be right over."
