The throat is of course dry, and the eyesight interfered with for a day or more, but Talley has not seen even insomnia occur, to say nothing of nervous excitation or delirium. Theoretically, however, before such atropin dosage, an idiosyncrasy against belladonna should be determined.
Joe said between mouthfuls: "Funny way for anything to take off, riding on it looked like a truck." "It is a truck," said Talley. "A high-speed truck. Fifty of them specially made to serve as undercarriages so pushpot pilots can practice. The pushpots are really only expected to work once, you know." Joe nodded. "They aren't to take off," Talley explained. "Not in theory.
Judge Talley described the situation as a "cancer on the body politic." He drew a distinction between liberty and license and said that his experience in the criminal courts of New York had brought one great American failing very strongly home to him. "The one thing the American people lack to-day," he said, "is a proper method for bringing up their children. I see the results of this every day.
It was old Talley, whose log-house, in 1862, was the point from which Stonewall Jackson began his sudden rush upon Hooker's right. Talley, then a young farmer, had walked at the General's stirrup pointing out the way. He had interesting things to tell of Stonewall Jackson at that moment when his career culminated. "What did he seem like?" I queried.
The field's been losing two pilots a week. Lately more." "It doesn't sound exactly reasonable," said Joe slowly. He put a last forkful in his mouth. "It's also inconvenient," said Talley, "for the pilots." The pilot Walton opened his mouth. "It'd be sabotage," he said curtly, "if there was any way to do it. Four pilots killed this week." He lapsed into silence again. Joe considered. He frowned.
I know you're Joe Kenmore. I'm Brick Talley and this is Captain no less than Captain! Thomas J. Walton. Impressed?" "Very much," said Joe. He sat down. "What about the control surfaces on pushpots?" "They're in the jet blast!" said the co-pilot, now identified as Brick Talley. "Like the V Two rockets when the Germans made 'em. Vanes in the exhaust blast, no kidding!
Then their work would be done, and their only remaining purpose would be to get their pilots back to the ground alive, while the Platform on its own third stage shot out to space. "So," said Talley, "since their pilots need to practice landings, the trucks get them off the ground.
We made for the west, firing as we went, and the soldiers fell right and left. I stayed by Joe Hardin till they dropped him in his tracks, and fought fifteen of the militia while Otho Hinton stopped to get his heavy boots off. Tom Talley, too, had one boot off and one foot stuck in the leg of the other. He could not run and he had no knife to cut the leather.
When a man's made ten complete flights he retires. One flight a week thereafter to keep in practice only, until the big day for the Platform's take-off. Those guys sweat!" "Is it that bad?" The pilot grunted. The co-pilot Talley spread out his hands. "It is that bad! Every so often one of them comes down untidily. There's something the matter with the motors.
He served Joe briskly and marched out again. "That's Hotel de Gink service," said Talley. "No wasted motion, no sloppy civilities. He was about to eat that himself, he gave it to you, and now he'll cook himself a double portion of everything. What are you doing here, anyhow?" Joe shrugged.
