"Always providing Lieutenant Fraser consents to the arrangement," the lawyer added smoothly. "Oh, I'll consent," laughed Fraser wryly.
Just as unprecedented, Tarlac thought wryly, as it had been for him to be kidnapped by arrangement of the Circle of Lords and coerced into taking the Ordeal. Since the orders for that had come through the two rulers, it seemed only fitting that they participate now, as well.
The mikes would be receiving transducers and the speakers would be transmitting transducers. "The leads from them," Tom ended, "will be centralized in a single electronic control unit inside the ship. I'll handle that part of it." "Great idea, Tom!" Arv Hanson said admiringly.

"I guess you're right, Charley," he added, smiling wryly. "It must be something in the air." "Are you going to take that offer," demanded Virginia, wrathfully, "and rob me and mother of our mine?"

Wish I'd got one of my own." "All right. I'll adopt you," laughed Saltash. "You shall be the son of my old age." "Oh, don't be an ass!" protested Bunny. "Why on earth don't you get married?"

Kennon grimaced wryly. He'd be damned if he'd sell his training for six thousand a year. Slave labor, that's what it was. There were a dozen ads like that in the Journal.
