King leered triumphantly, for there were tears, undried tears of mirth, on the boys' cheeks. Then the examination began. Yes, they had walked along the cliffs. Yes, they had entered Colonel Dabney's grounds. For what purpose had they entered Colonel Dabney's grounds? "Well, sir, there was a badger."
She was bursting with the joyous knowledge that she was on the moon, seeing the impossible and looking at fame. They sipped at drinks but the liquid rose much too swiftly in the straws and Cochrane reflected that the drink in Babs' glass would cost Dabney's father-in-law as much as Babs earned in a week back home, and his own was costing no less.
It was getting to be tolerable noisy down here for your mammy, so nigh to the plant. And we allowed to s'prise you. We've been buildin' us a new house up on the knoll just this side o' Major Dabney's." It was the cruelest of the changes the one hardest to bear; and it drove the boy back into the dumb reticence which was a part of his birthright.
And as I spoke I let my temper rise to a point which I hoped would shock father and take his mind from the decanter and the ice. "I demand that you allow me to carry out your plans for my garden, and that you help me do it to the limit of the hinges in your back and Dabney's. And, Dabney, don't let me hear another word about that hinge until those dahlias are in bloom.
Cochrane debated momentarily whether this information could be used in the publicity campaign of Spaceways, Inc. Strictly speaking, there was some slight obligation to throw extra fame Dabney's way regardless, because the corporation had been formed as a public-relations device. Any other features, such as changing the history of the human race, were technically incidental.
All previous fields had extended in all directions, increasing in intensity as the square of the distance ... "Cut," said Cochrane. West automatically abandoned his professional delivery. He placidly re-addressed himself to his beer. "How about it, Jones?" asked Cochrane. "Dabney's got a variation? What is it?" "It's a field of force that doesn't spread out.
The road which we had followed is called the stage-road. Crossing the run, we followed it in the direction of Dinwiddie Court House, until we reached the Quaker road. The enemy was not encountered in our front, but farther to the right there was severe fighting along Hatcher's Run. During the night we moved to a position near Dabney's Mill. I think we followed the Vaughan road.
Presently a written note came from Holden: "Jed: send West and Jamison right away to Dabney's lunar laboratory to get details of discovery from man named Jones. Get moon-jeep and driver from hotel. I will want you in an hour. Bill." "I'll be back," said Cochrane. "Wait." He left the table and found West and Jamison in Bell's room, all three in conference over a bottle.
General Griffin was attacked near where the Quaker Road intersects the Boydton Road, but repulsed it easily, capturing about one hundred men. Humphreys reached Dabney's Mill, and was pushing on when last heard from. "I now feel like ending the matter, if it is possible to do so, before going back. I do not want you, therefore, to cut loose and go after the enemy's roads at present.
"Well, you bet your life he's a heap higher'n that now," said another, who had chanced to be at the station when the Gordons, father and son, left the train together. "He's a half a head taller than the old man, an' built like one o' Maje' Dabney's thoroughbreds. But I reckon he ain't nothin' but a school-boy, for all o' that." "Gar-r-r!" spat a third.
