You a bad reaction had, an allergy, Doctor Channath says. You should soon better feel." "Uhh. That'll teach me to drink Traiti liquor."
Tom could hardly keep himself from laughing. Captain Strong had scored heavily! The Solar Guard officer then turned his attention to Astro. "Astro, where in the name of the universe did you get the idea you could be an officer in the Solar Guard?" "I can handle anything with push in it, sir!" Astro smiled his confidence. "Know anything about hyperdrive?" "Uhh no, sir."
Herbert snapped. "Yes, sir uhh Mister." Astro flushed and joined Tom. "Cadet Candidate Philip Morgan," announced the next boy. Herbert repeated the name into the machine, then announced, "Cadet Candidates Tom Corbett, Astro, and Philip Morgan assigned to Section 42-D." Turning to the three boys, he indicated the spiraling slidestairs. "Forty-second floor.
"In Venusport?" demanded Connel, following Tom around the deck. "Yes, sir " "Before or after your trip into the jungle?" "Uhh before, I think," Tom replied hesitantly. "No. No. It was after we came back." "Well, out with it, Corbett!" exploded the major. "When? Where? You didn't do that much visiting! You were too tired to move!"

He heard, though he could not see, the langurs pressing about him, and behind them the uhh! uhh! of Sona.

"Yes, sir, but would you mind lowering your voice, sir?

"Oh, Mowgli, is it danger?" the boy called back mockingly. "That is all Mysa thinks for: Is it danger? But for Mowgli, who goes to and fro in the Jungle by night, watching, what do ye care?" "How loud he cries!" said the cow.
Astro still hesitated, "I don't know, Manning. I uhh " "By the rings of Saturn! What's going on here?" Suddenly from outside the ring of boys that had gathered around, McKenny came roaring in, bulling his way to the center of the group to face Roger and Astro. "I have a strained wrist, sir," began Roger smoothly.
"I began to hear rumors that well, I was I don't know what I was doing I haven't listened to much of the rumors but I guess, umm, I don't know, that I was making love to millions of women, or something like that, uhh, I don't know.
"It's difficult to answer that question with facts, Commander Walters." "Why?" insisted Walters. "Well, nothing's really happened," answered Steve. "You mean, nothing since the fight in the gym?" "Oh " Strong flushed. "You know about that?" Commander Walters smiled. "Black eyes and faces that looked like raw beef don't go unnoticed, Steve." "Uhh no, sir," was Strong's lame reply.
