Hell, is it right for a fella to be looking down on the lights of Paris, Moscow, Cairo, and Rangoon when he hasn't ever been any farther than Minneapolis?" Two-and-Two sounded fabulously befuddled. David Lester started screaming again. They had left him alone and apparently unconscious, inside his ring, because all ionics, including his, had had to be set.
"I have a headache," said the Angel; "the noise is more deafening than it was when I was here in 1910." "Yes, sir; since then we have had the Great Skirmish, an event which furiously intensified money-making. We, like every other people, have ever since been obliged to cultivate the art of getting five out of two-and-two.
All this happened under the sardonic gaze of Glen Tiflin, and before the puzzled eyes of Joe Kuzak and Two-and-Two Baines. A dozen others were hovering near. Nelsen lowered his voice and called, "Nance?" She answered at once. "I'm all right, Frank. A few people to patch. Some beyond that. I'm in the hospital with Doc Forbes..."
It was barely a quarter of three when Dick & Co. walking two-and-two, came in sight of the otherwise unoccupied store that formed the football headquarters. "We're too early," muttered Prescott, consulting his watch. "We'll have to take a walk around a few blocks yet, fellows." "Why?" Dan Dalzell wanted to know. "What difference does a matter of a few minutes make?"
He was one of at least three dozen poor wretches, hollow-eyed, lean of cheek, and shivering with famine, whom the sergeant proceeded to drive into a small crowd near the entrance, shouting an order which was repeated outside. Six men appeared, each carrying a load of chains. With these he fastened his prisoners together, two-and-two, by the wrist and ankle, and marched them out into the open air.
Two-and-Two Baines gulped, sighed, and made a jagged scribble, like the trail of a rocket gone nuts. Jig Hollins wrote in swooping, arrogant circles, that came, perhaps, from his extra jobs as an advertising sky writer with an airplane. Frank Nelsen was next, and Charlie Reynolds was last. Theirs were the most indistinctive signatures in the lot. Just ordinary writing.
In front rode a company of knights in glittering armour; then came a long array of men-at-arms, squires, and attendants, gorgeously attired; then more knights, riding two-and-two; then a body of courtiers, and in the midst of these, borne upon the shoulders of some of them, a platform draped in cloth of gold.
At a quarter-past ten the girls assembled in the dining-room, and were duly marshalled. They did not, however, walk two-and-two like ordinary schools.
Don't worry if it happens to some of you. We know that it straightens out." For a few minutes it seemed that they had a small respite in their struggle for adjustment to a fantastic environment. "Well I got cleaned up, some that's better," Two-and-Two said. "But look at the fuzzy lights down on Earth.
"The stuff is crawling up my legs," Nelsen growled. They knew that the Kuzaks, maybe Two-and-Two, Reynolds, Gimp, Storey, must be trying to call them. They kept listening in their helmet-phones. But this time Frank Nelsen knew that he'd gotten himself a real haystack of enormity in which to double for a lost needle.
