Out There, in orbit or beyond, and in full, spatial sunlight, its jetting ions would deliver ten pounds of continuous thrust. "A thousand bucks that's nowhere near enough," Two-and-Two mourned further. "Doggone, why can't we get blasted up off the Earth that costs the most, all by itself just in our Archies?
He thought about how terribly vulnerable to attack Pallastown seemed, even with its encirclement of outriding guard stations. He thought of Paul Hendricks, Two-and-Two Baines, Charlie Reynolds, Otto Kramer, Mitch Storey, and Miss Rosalie Parks who was his old Latin teacher. He thought of trying to beam some of them. But hell, they all seemed so long-lost, and he wasn't in the mood, now.
"Only you were right the first time. These letters shouldn't be delivered until your next trip around, tomorrow morning." They both handed the envelopes back to Roy Harder. The voices of their Bunch-mates jangled in a conflicting chorus. "Ah yuh damfools!" Two-and-Two bleated. "Good for them!" Art Kuzak said, perhaps mockingly.
"Frank this is Two-and-Two...! Why don't you ever call or answer...?" Two-and-Two's usually plaintive voice had a special quality, as if he was maybe in trouble. This time, Frank got a directional fix, adjusted his antenna, and called, "Hey, Two-and-Two...! Hey, Pal it's me Frank Nelsen...!" Venus was in the sky, not too close to the sun.
"All right, Frank," she said quietly. "Follow your nose. It's just liable to be right on the beam for you. I might follow mine. I don't know." "Joe and Two-and-Two are around if you need anything, Nance," he said. "I'll tell them. Gimp, I hear, is on the way. Not much point in my waiting for him, though..." Somehow he loved Nance Codiss as much or more than ever.
"They are," Nelsen told him. "Passing close to Mars, which is lined up orbitally along our route," Gimp put in. "Did you beam Two-and-Two and Charlie on Venus?" "Uh-huh they're just kind of bored," Ramos said. "I even got Storey at the Martian Survey Station. But he's going out into those lousy thickets, again. Old Paul, in Jarviston, sounds the same.
The company took a hilarious pleasure in associating the four two-and-two, and commented openly on the distribution: "Mistress Clary is mighty condescending to this jackanapes." "Mistress Dulcie and t'other form a genteel pair."
"It won't be ten years, before you all wind up in the Belt." "Bring back the Mystery of Mars, Mitch!" Frank was saying. "When you get finished Mooning, come to Venus, Lover Lad," Reynolds told Ramos. "But good luck!" "Jeez I'm gonna get sentimental," Two-and-Two moaned. "Luck everybody. Come on, Charlie let's roll! I don't want to slobber!" "I'll catch up with you all watch!" Gimp promised.
Just an almost mystical bitterness, a shock and an uncertainty, as if he could depend on nothing. "So what about Two-and-Two?" he growled, remembering how he used to avoid any responsibility for the big, good-hearted lug; but now he felt surer about himself, and things seemed different. "I guess the Expedition medic had to straighten him out with devil-killers," Hines answered.
Several of those hills between Cienega de Pesquero and the Punta del Comissario are linked two-and-two together, like basaltic columns; it is, however, very probable that they are calcareous, like the Tetas de Managua, south of the Havannah. In the archipelago of San Bernardo we passed between the island of Salamanquilla and Cape Boqueron.
