And I can't see that it has any ill effects. But you were just lucky, Thorson it might have gone another way." Dane sighed. "I know that, sir," he confessed. "I'm not trying to rocket out " Tau gave a half-smile. "We all off-fire our tubes at times," he conceded. "Only next time "
And you can trust Thorson on stowage that's one thing he does know." Which dubious ending left Dane wondering as to whether he had been complimented or warned. "I'll be on board again before you know it the Combine will ship me out to Trewsworld on your second trip across and I'll join ship there. For once we won't have to worry for awhile. Nothing can happen on a mail run."
At the up-swing of his body to the right, he let go and plunged out, landing half across one of the reed islets. The Khatkan clawed his way to his knees, gained his feet, and leaped for the next bit of solid ground. "You, Thorson!" Jellico jerked his head at Dane and the younger spaceman holstered his fire ray, slipped gingerly over the drop and prepared to repeat Nymani's feat as best he could.
"Thorson our acting-cargo-master." "Thorson," the Khatkan acknowledged with a grave nod of his head, and then glanced down to floor level with a look of surprise. Weaving a pattern about his legs, purring loudly, Sindbad was offering an unusually fervent welcome of his own. The Ranger went down on one knee, his hand out for Sindbad's inquiring sniff.
The Medic shrugged. "I can try. I was out scouting this morning met one of the storm priests who handles their medical work. But I wasn't welcomed. However, under the circumstances, we have to try something " In the corridor Van Rycke had an order for Dane. "I suggest that you keep to quarters, Thorson, until we know how matters stand." Dane saluted.
"We don't know," Rip sounded tired, beaten. "Meanwhile," he got to his feet, "we'd better set a course home " "Home," Weeks repeated. To him Terra was not his own home he had been born in the polar swamps of Venus. But to All Solarians no matter which planet had nurtured them Terra was home. "You," Rip's big hand fell gently on the little oiler's shoulder, "stay here with Thorson "
And old Magnus Thorson stood up, leaning on his staff, full of holy wonder, and the women softly sobbed and prayed at his feet. And when they parted there was in every heart a confident acceptance of David's closing words: "Whoever rests, however feebly, on the eternal mercy shall live forever." After this "call" sleep was impossible to David.
And they talked of David a little, and then Magnus Thorson, the father-in-law of Thora, being a very old man, went alone into Nanna's cottage to see David. And after a while the women were called, and Christine took with her a plate of fish and bread which she had prepared; and David was glad of their sympathy. They sat down outside the door.
