15976You''d think nothin''easier than to walk eend- on acrost her?
15976You''ve seen how flat she is-- the Marsh?
15976You, Tom?
15976said De Aquila, rubbing his nose,"to whom did he say that?"
15976said Puck;''or"son of Adam"or"daughter of Eve"?''
15976said the farmer-- he was in a furious temper because I was walking the old horse in circles all this time--"What, you young jackanapes?"
15976says Sebastian, and raps with his cow- tail on the table,"whose guns are they, then?"
557''Am I?
557''And now, how many catapults have you?
557''And thou wilt say nothing of what has passed?
557''And thou wilt surrender Pevensey without word or blow?
557''And what might you call yourself when you are at home?
557''Born in Britain?
557''But so long as I do not anger thee, my tale will be secret?
557''By the Saints,said he,"why didst thou not say thou wast on the Duke Robert''s side at the first?"
557''Do you also begin to bargain so early?
557''He hath done this day by day before our very face?
557''How could I know that De Aquila would give it me?
557''How did I tell you?
557''How dost thou know?
557''How long will it rise?
557''How will that profit us?
557''I?
557''Is n''t there any way for you to get back to Valhalla, or wherever you come from?
557''Is the Plague comin''to the Marsh?
557''Jest? 557 ''Nay,"said one elder,"prove to us that he lives"; and another said cunningly,"What will you give us if we read you his last words?"
557''Now, why has he grown so tender of his men of a sudden?
557''Only a life? 557 ''Shall we go?"
557''Shall we hang these?
557''Then we do nothing?
557''Then what do you recommend,said Maximus,"to keep the North quiet till I win Gaul?"
557''To me?
557''To which Empire?
557''What do you do, O my friend?
557''What do you do?
557''What if we will not come?
557''What is to do?
557''What other comfort have ye left me?
557''What service shall I pay?
557''What thieves''talk is that?
557''What was his shield- mark?
557''What would you have done,he said to me,"if I had not been here?"
557''What''s next?
557''What?
557''What?
557''Where did you hear of it?
557''Where is the Sorcerer?
557''Who made thee a Lawgiver in England?
557''Why should I? 557 ''Will the sea drown the Marsh?"
557''Will you write him that?
557''Witness those rings and roundelays, do you mean?''
557''You think blackly today?
557''You think so? 557 ''You think so?"
557And you?
557Back again to earth, old foxes?
557But what of the demi- cannon? 557 But will the war come our ways, think you?"
557Can I work no more honest trading between the two sides these troublous times?
557Do you fight against Theodosius? 557 Dost thou know, Richard, why Hugh slept, and why he still sleeps, among thy Norman men- at- arms?"
557Has n''t he turned himself into a raw- beef- eating Scythian?
557How can we make our holy heather- wine, if you burn our bee- pasture?
557I have no keep at Dallington; and if we buried it, whom could we trust?
557I suppose( he had eyes like an eagle''s)--"I suppose that is a trading- station also?"
557Market- day, is it? 557 Oh, Sir John, Sir John, why did you never use the sea?
557Shall I drop my dagger on his head?
557Shall we tell our sons?
557Six mounted men or twelve archers thou shalt send me whenever I call for them, and-- where got you that corn?
557The Wall must be won at a price?
557Then by your reasoning I ought to say''Thank you''to Satan if he helped me?
557Well?
557What avail is honour or a sword against a pen? 557 What can you guess what Maximus thinks, you old horse- coper?"
557What did you pay him?
557What does it foretell?
557What is a handful of crushed oats to a Roman?
557What is our fate to be, you fine and well- fed child?
557What of our Manors?
557What profit canst thou make of poor old pilgrims that can neither work nor fight?
557What would you do if you were a handful of oats being crushed between the upper and lower stones of a mill?
557What?
557Where did you get your horse shod?
557Why didst thou bring the child here?
557Will it serve?
557come back from Lunnon?
557''A Jew drew blood from a Christian and no more was said?''
557''An''do you think your Pa''ud give me a drink for takin''you there, Missy?''
557''And did you meet any adventures?''
557''And had n''t you ever been into the house since?''
557''And how did you feel?''
557''And how did your play go?''
557''And that was here at home?''
557''And the fighting?
557''And the man was n''t really dead?''
557''And the sword?''
557''And was that Saxon Hugh the novice?''
557''And were the children quite well?''
557''And were you pleased?''
557''And what did poor Weland do?''
557''And what did we-- I mean, what did our village do?''
557''And what did you do afterwards?''
557''And what did you do?''
557''And what did you think of it all?''
557''And what did your Mother say when you came home?
557''And what do you have to eat?''
557''And what happened after?''
557''And what happened to Gilbert?''
557''And what happened to the fat old General with the five cooks?''
557''And why did Sir Richard and Brother Hugh leave it lying about?
557''And you?
557''And, of course, the sons were both quite cured?''
557''Anything like tattooing?''
557''Are they?''
557''Are you going to magic it away?''
557''Are you sure?''
557''But Master Collins meant the guns for Sir Andrew Barton all along, did n''t he?''
557''But are the books true?''
557''But did he make it right with the King?''
557''But did you know this was all going to happen just right?''
557''But if we hang all fellows who write falsely, why did De Aquila not begin with Gilbert the Clerk?
557''But if you''ve seen a bullet--''''Seen?''
557''But settin''that aside?''
557''But tell me now, and I will not call you a babe but a Rabbi, why did the King sign the roll of the New Law at Runnymede?
557''But what did Elias of Bury do?''
557''But what did you-- what did Robin promise the Widow?''
557''But what happened to Hugh the novice?''
557''But what lessons did you do-- when-- when you were little?''
557''But what wonderful beast yields this stretching leather?''
557''But where?
557''But you''re a Roman yourself, are n''t you?''
557''Canst thou read, child?''
557''Could n''t you get away before?''
557''D''you marvel that I love it?''
557''Did Robert ever land in Pevensey after all?''
557''Did Weland see all this?''
557''Did he get home all right?''
557''Did n''t I say all good families are very much the same?''
557''Did n''t the Faun tell you I was coming?''
557''Did n''t you ever wonder who had put it there?''
557''Did n''t you hate that?''
557''Did she, now?''
557''Did they all see it that way?''
557''Did we not?
557''Did you have a governess, then?''
557''Did you have to pass an Exam?''
557''Did you know it was going to happen?''
557''Did you never suspect ary one?''
557''Do what?
557''Do ye?''
557''Do you mean the Isle of Wight?
557''Do you mean this?''
557''Do you really want to know?''
557''Does that mean the Battle of Hastings-- Ten Sixty- Six?''
557''Dost thou know of that, babe?''
557''Eh?''
557''Engines?''
557''Fairies?
557''Fetch it?
557''Games?
557''Had you?''
557''Hap you have heard it?''
557''Happy?''
557''Have you a knife on you?''
557''Have you ever bin in the Marsh?''
557''Have you ever explored North?''
557''Have you ever heard me say that word yet?''
557''Have you seen a painted lead- slinger?''
557''Heroes of Asgard Thor?''
557''How can I say?
557''How can it be round?''
557''How could we have hanged Fulke?''
557''How do you mean?''
557''How early?''
557''How much gold did you get?
557''How old did you think it was?''
557''How think ye?
557''How would you like to be called"mortal"or"human being"all the time?''
557''How''s it done?''
557''How?
557''How?
557''I was thinking-- suppose we saved some of our porridge and put it in the attic for you?
557''I''m glad they''re gone, then; but what made the People of the Hills go away?''
557''I''m sorry about the Leaves,''he said,''but it would never have done if you had gone home and told, would it?''
557''I?
557''Is it just a Wall?
557''Is it?''
557''Is the tale meet for children, think you?''
557''It''s like the shadows talking, is n''t it?''
557''Just then( you know how near the brutes creep when one is eating?)
557''Like Miss Blake tells us about?''
557''May we see?''
557''Neither then nor later?''
557''No sorcery, Sir Richard?''
557''Not afraid that those men yonder''--he jerked his head towards the incessant POP- POP of the guns from the lower woods--''will do you hurt?''
557''Now, what Thing made those?''
557''Or do they?''
557''People burned in wicker baskets?''
557''Pevensey?
557''Pirate?''
557''Pirates do n''t build churches, do they?''
557''Play about, like us?''
557''Quo Caesar abiit celsus imperio?
557''Regnum?
557''Robin, how a''mischief''s name am I to tell these innocents what comes of sinful pride?''
557''Round?''
557''Said De Aquila, after jehan was gone down the stair:"Hugh, hast thou ever told my Gilbert thou canst read Latin hand- of- write?"
557''Said Thorkild of Borkum:"Do they mean we must fight for all this gear?"
557''So they have; but I told you that you should come and go and look and know, did n''t I?
557''South?''
557''That?
557''The boy?
557''Then are n''t you most awfully old?''
557''Then she''d be a Pett-- or a Whitgift, would she?''
557''Then why was he on the Wall?''
557''Then you did n''t do anything to his son?''
557''There?
557''To here, d''you mean?''
557''Us?''
557''Was he angry?''
557''Was it anything like this?''
557''Was it bad?''
557''Was it thirty or forty year back you broke my head at Peasmarsh Fair?''
557''Was n''t it in your books?''
557''Was n''t your woman a Whitgift, Ralph?
557''Was she pretty?''
557''Was the man a Chinaman?''
557''Was your nurse a-- a Romaness too?''
557''Was yours a dangerous voyage?''
557''We have n''t made him angry, have we?''
557''Well, ai n''t that just me?''
557''Well,''said Puck calmly,''what did you think of it?
557''Well?''
557''Were n''t you afraid?''
557''Were they angry with him?''
557''Were you invisible?''
557''What Devil''s in that belfry?''
557''What Wall?''
557''What are these?
557''What are you looking for?''
557''What at?''
557''What can town folk know of the nature of housen-- or land?''
557''What could I say?
557''What did Weland say?''
557''What did he do?''
557''What did he mean by his General''s son?''
557''What did he mean?
557''What did he promise, now?''
557''What did it mean?''
557''What did they make?''
557''What did you do in summer?''
557''What did you do with your gold?''
557''What did you do?''
557''What did you do?''
557''What did you say?''
557''What did you-- what did the fai-- Pharisees want?''
557''What does the Faun mean,''he said, half aloud to himself,''by telling me that the Painted People have changed?''
557''What for?''
557''What had happened?
557''What happened to old Allo?
557''What is a tame Pict?''
557''What sort of questions?''
557''What terms?''
557''What was she like?''
557''What was the song you were singing just now?''
557''What waters?''
557''What''s a novice?''
557''What''s taking seisin?''
557''What''s that for-- Magic?''
557''What''s that?''
557''What?
557''What?''
557''When I''ve seen these two young folk home, we''ll make a night of old days, Ralph, with passin''old tales-- eh?
557''When did this happen?''
557''When the men of the Cohort I was to command came back unhelmeted from the cock- fight, their birds under their arms, and asked me who I was?
557''When?''
557''Where Weland landed?''
557''Where at?''
557''Where did she come out of?
557''Where did you go?
557''Where''s Puck?''
557''Which?
557''Who is it?''
557''Who was he?''
557''Who was he?''
557''Who''s for my Little Lindens?
557''Why did Sir Andrew Barton help you?''
557''Why did you laugh that horrid way?''
557''Why would n''t he?''
557''Why?
557''Why?
557''Why?''
557''Will you be here when we come again?''
557''Would that be a Act of Parliament like?''
557''Would you believe it, that when that farmer woke and found his horse shod he rode away without one word of thanks?
557''Yet surely, surely they are taught to spit upon Jews?''
557''You are not afraid?''
557( Have I said he was little, and could not endure to be helped to his saddle?)
557Ah, what is a Woman that you forsake her, And the hearth- fire and the home- acre, To go with the old grey Widow- maker?
557An''what''s your news since all these years?''
557An''where might you live?''
557And I quaked, and I went... How''s yon, Robin?''
557And all the bullocks from Brightling here?"
557And see you marks that show and fade, Like shadows on the Downs?
557And see you, after rain, the trace Of mound and ditch and wall?
557And what did Amal do?''
557And why?
557Anderida?''
557Are n''t you afraid of wolves?''
557Are ye content, lads?"
557Are you pirate- folk?''
557At this time of year?
557Because his son was going to be killed?''
557But settin''that aside, d''ye believe or-- do ye?''
557But they''re sold to a Scotch pirate by your old friend--""''Where''s your proof?"
557But what was the result?
557But why are you chewing leaves at your time of life, daughter?
557But-- ye knew this?''
557By the way, are you free, maiden?''
557D''ye do any o''this still?''
557Did Hugh die?
557Did I ask Master Collins for his timber- tug to haul beams?
557Did he promise me a set of iron cramps or ties for the roof?
557Did he?''
557Did n''t Sir Richard Dalyngridge talk about it?''
557Did n''t he know it was Sir Richard''s old treasure?''
557Did n''t she ever say?''
557Did the Winged Hats ever come back?
557Did you see the signing of the Law at Runnymede?''
557Did you sling that bullet?''
557Do I want that?
557Do n''t they hunt wolves here?''
557Do n''t you know?''
557Do n''t you like it?''
557Do n''t you remember, Una?''
557Do ye believe or-- do ye?''
557Do you know them?''
557Do you know"Farewell, Rewards and Fairies"?''
557Do you remember, O Faun,''--he turned to Puck--''the little altar I built to the Sylvan Pan by the pine- forest beyond the brook?''
557Do you see what I meant?''
557Do you wonder that he learned quickly?
557Does he tell how we were out all day riding the Marsh, and how I near perished in a quicksand, and coughed like a sick ewe for ten days after?"
557Does it become me, Hal?"
557Does that comfort thee, Fulke?"
557Eh, Jehan?
557Eh, why not?
557Eh?"
557For fun?''
557Has he puzzled you much, Una?''
557Have you never heard of a Father''s right over his children?
557He said presently to me:"If I gave you the old Province of Valentia to govern, could you keep the Picts contented till I won Gaul?
557He said:"What now?"
557He stopped, hollowed one hand round his ear, and, with a wicked twinkle in his eye, went on:''What, a play toward?
557He watched us passing buckets from the pond, and at last he said to me:"Who are you?"
557How can I keep my young men from listening to the Winged Hats-- in winter especially, when we are hungry?
557How can a man be wise if he hate?
557How could you ever do it?''
557How d''you call them?''
557How did we get home that night?
557How do you do, sir?''
557How many cattle, think you, would the Bishop of Tours give for that tale?
557How should the foolish Kings know that while they fight and steal and kill?''
557How think ye?"
557How?''
557I did not see them( I was sick after the fight), but Witta told me, and, lo, ye know it also?
557I do n''t know as you''ve ever heard say Pharisees are like chickens?''
557I said, therefore, to Elias of Bury, a great one among our people:"Why do our people lend any more to the Kings that oppress us?"
557I was so astonished that I jumped out and said:"What on Human Earth are you doing here, Weland?"''
557I-- I did n''t know you were a-- a-- What are you?''
557I?"
557If Fulke is given my Pevensey, which is England''s gate, what will he do with it?
557If one told thee all was betrayed, what wouldst thou do?"
557Is it true, Hugh?"
557Is n''t it splendid?''
557Is there no sorcery left in the world?''
557Laugh and ride over him?''
557Left he no word?"
557Like the one round the kitchen- garden?''
557Now see you why your pokings and pryings have raised the Devil in Sussex?
557Oh, what is it?"
557Or the Monks of Blois?
557Or thy brother?
557Over the hill, you mean?''
557Said De Aquila, at the window of our chamber:"How did I tell you?
557See you our little mill that clacks, So busy by the brook?
557See you our pastures wide and lone, Where the red oxen browse?
557See you our stilly woods of oak, And the dread ditch beside?
557See you the windy levels spread About the gates of Rye?
557Shall I swear it?"
557Sir Richard bowed a little and went on:"''Gold horseshoes on black?"
557Suppose we get sunstroke, or a fever?"
557Swimmin''?''
557Than maids were wo nt to do, Yet who of late for cleanliness Finds sixpence in her shoe?''
557The Red King was dead-- slain( ye remember?)
557The stone one with the line from Xenophon?''
557Then he looked me up and down, and said:"Hungry again?
557There''s more under my hat besides hair?''
557To kill''em?''
557Tom Shoesmith?''
557Vel Dives splendidus totus in prandio?
557Vines?
557Was it not so, Faun?''
557Was it sorcery?''
557We shall be slaves just the same?
557Were our Devils only nest- building apes?
557What Games?''
557What a murrain call had I, they said, to mell with old St Barnabas''?
557What are you laughin''at?
557What did I tell thee when I rode away, boy?"
557What did his lord do?
557What did you do?''
557What do I know of Xenophon?
557What does he add at the bottom of the roll?
557What else could you expect?''
557What is the price of my blood?"
557What is your Turkis?''
557What shall we do to him, Sir Hugh?"
557What were my Devils, then?''
557What will she say to Sir Richard?
557What''s he talking to old Hobden about?''
557What''s your complaint?
557What''s your say?''
557When did they torture him?''
557When didst thou come over to the Duke?
557When do we hang Gilbert?"
557When our Duke came out of Normandy to take his England, great knights( have ye heard?)
557Where are the Captains of the Wall?"
557Where did Gilbert hide that writing?
557Where did he get through?''
557Where from?''
557Where''ve you been?''
557Wherefore does it point South-- or North?''
557Which am I to follow?"
557Who a- plague has another key, then?"
557Who am I to meddle with things too high for me?
557Who will be the first to come through thereby?
557Who would stop them-- Fulke?"
557Why dost thou stay, and turn away?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?
557Why not?''
557Why not?''
557Why not?''
557Why should I care for such things, my business being to reach my station?
557Wo n''t you, Puck?''
557Ye see?''
557Yet how could I?
557You meant that King John might have spent it on that?''
557You play on my side?"
557You''d think nothin''easier than to walk eend- on acrost her?
557You''ve seen how flat she is-- the Marsh?
557You, Tom?
557said De Aquila, rubbing his nose,"to whom did he say that?"
557said Puck;''or"son of Adam"or"daughter of Eve"?''
557said the farmer-- he was in a furious temper because I was walking the old horse in circles all this time--"What, you young jackanapes?"
557says Sebastian, and raps with his cow- tail on the table,"whose guns are they, then?"
20898''Fatso'', eh?
20898''No trouble,''it says here in fine print? 20898 ... the matter?
20898A few weeks against twenty- five years... what do you think of his time estimate, Deg my dear?
20898Ace,_ Darling_?
20898Afraid of water?
20898Alive?
20898All right... but suppose we do find somebody who out- Gunthers us?
20898All the way down?
20898Am I to ignore the fact that you are one of the best telekineticists living?
20898And I suppose it''s you that cartoonist what''s- his- name is using as a model for''Timorous Timmy''?
20898And all the way up?
20898And are you interested enough to find out whose business it would be, and follow through on it?
20898And cause a revolution?
20898And have you scream to high heaven that I opened it? 20898 And make it stick?
20898And this?
20898And you wo n''t... wo n''t interfere?
20898And you''ll-- personally-- go on my hour with it?
20898Anything I can do, I''ve got to do... well, shall we go?
20898Anything else on the agenda, Clee?
20898Are even you actually stupid enough to try to lie with your mind? 20898 Are you asking me or telling me?"
20898Are you both fully certain that you want the full treatment?
20898Are you crazy, Garlock?
20898Are you getting anywhere, Belle? 20898 Are you going to ask me to pair with you, Clee?"
20898Are you smart enough to understand that?
20898Assume I tried to work on you-- assume I succeeded-- what would you be? 20898 Belle, can you blast?
20898Belle?
20898Besides, do you think I''d miss a chance to be the first person-- and just a girl, too-- of a whole world to see other planets of other suns? 20898 Better?
20898Brains? 20898 Bundy, this is Garlock....""So what am I supposed to do-- burst into tears of joy?"
20898But I thought you were covering Miss Montandon?
20898But I wonder... are you sure we can get away with it?
20898But do n''t the boys on the ground need some help?
20898But do you know what I did?
20898But do you know what you''ve done, Lola?
20898But how could a man in such a big job_ possibly_ get away with such foul stuff as that?
20898But no crew at_ all_?
20898But this thought,''Dilipic''?
20898But we''re going to need a lot of money, and we''re just about broke, are n''t we?
20898But what could_ possibly_ make as good a thesis as those extra- galactic tapes?
20898But what_ are_ they?
20898But why do you want to mix into something that''s none of your business?
20898But would n''t transportation of material and so on present problems?
20898But you said you_ never_ went screens down with a woman?
20898But... no hard feelings, Jim? 20898 But_ can_ you?
20898But_ worlds_ do n''t die, surely?
20898Ca n''t you conceive of me flipping a coin honestly?
20898Ca n''t you straighten people out?
20898Can that actually be done?
20898Can you bomb?
20898Can you do anything with it, Clee?
20898Can you, after what you just told them?
20898Can_ you_ hit Andromeda?
20898Cannibals? 20898 Chancellor Ferber, are you completely out of your mind?
20898Clee, do you read me?
20898Commander Knahr, can you hop over here a minute? 20898 Could be-- but how about intergalactic hops?"
20898Could you do it, whatever it was, to me?
20898D''you think I''d stand for_ that_?
20898Darling? 20898 Did any of you happen to notice whether they know anything about artificial insemination?"
20898Did n''t it make you mad? 20898 Did you expect to cover a distance it takes light thousands of years to cross?
20898Do n''t you_ see_, you''ve done enough? 20898 Do they always... kill all the people?"
20898Do you know that we''ve got two of the finest men that ever lived?
20898Do you mean they''ll attack us on sight?
20898Do you so- called''Guardians of Humanity''care at all about the humanity you''re supposed to be protecting?
20898Do you suppose, Clee,Belle nibbled at her lower lip,"that we''re getting off on the wrong foot with uniforms and admirals and things?
20898Do you think I''d_ let_ her work on me?
20898Do you think she would n''t?
20898Do you want a bit of knowledge_ that_ badly, Belle?
20898Do you want me to give him the whole works?
20898Do you want to put out that kind of stuff around here?
20898Do you want us to help you pick up the other Primes?
20898Do you? 20898 Eat?
20898Everything on the beam?
20898Excuse me for changing the subject,Lola put in, plaintively,"but when, if ever, do we eat?
20898Fighting? 20898 Find out anything?"
20898Following me?
20898Food? 20898 Forty- two, twenty, forty?"
20898Forward? 20898 From now on, my friend, who is in the saddle?
20898From your standpoint, would that be bad?
20898Has n''t it got through your four- inch- thick skull into your idiot''s brain yet that I''m in a hurry? 20898 Have you had your coffee?"
20898Have you lost your mind?
20898Have you three lost your minds?
20898High- handed? 20898 How about cutting out this checking entirely, Clee?"
20898How about cutting the gab and getting some work done?
20898How about screens down enough to lep, boss?
20898How about this?
20898How about transportation? 20898 How about wearing some kind of half- way- comfortable shoes instead of those slippers?"
20898How can a thing like this_ possibly_ work?
20898How come?
20898How could you possibly lay off? 20898 How do you know whether I''m a virgin or not?
20898How do you like_ them_ tid- bits, Clee?
20898How do you want to handle it?
20898How far along are they?
20898How far did we miss target, Jim?
20898How heavy shots, Clee?
20898How long does it take to learn this bombing business, Jim?
20898How much of that is hindsight, Jim? 20898 How much of this stuff, if any, can I publish?
20898How much will this cost me, Fatso?
20898How much would that be per mile?
20898How would you test it?
20898How''s that for a masterly job of calibration?
20898Huh? 20898 Huh?
20898Huh? 20898 Huh?
20898Huh? 20898 Huh?
20898Huh? 20898 Huh?
20898Huh? 20898 Huh?"
20898I ca n''t?
20898I guess you''re right... well, shall we go out and insult our touchy young friend Semolo? 20898 I hate to shatter such wonderful dreams-- or do I?
20898I have your permission, then, to give Fao a little discipline when she starts rocking the boat?
20898I trust that this conversation is being recorded?
20898I would enjoy it too much, and you''d... well, you would n''t...."Huh?
20898I would n''t?
20898I''m still''ace''after what I just said? 20898 If I tell her, this deep, to play ball or else, do you think she''d need two treatments?"
20898In other words, do we or do we not attain a maximum? 20898 In spite of confession being supposed to be good for the soul, I do n''t like to admit that we''ve put gravel in the gear- box-- do you, Belle?"
20898Intelligence all the way?
20898Invasion of privacy? 20898 Is that it?"
20898Is that nice, you back- alley tomcat?
20898Is there any objection, Mr. Garlock, to Miss Flurnoy transmitting information of this meeting and of this ship to our base?
20898It was n''t practical, eh?
20898It would have to-- it covers the whole macrocosmic universe, does n''t it?
20898Jim, what are the Tellurian figures for exactly five hundred miles up?
20898Jim,he said, sharply,"have you been consciously aware of Belle''s manipulation?"
20898Just how would you go about ignoring Prime Operator Belle Bellamy?
20898Just too perfectly marvelous for_ anything_?
20898Just why, Captain Garlock, are you insisting on oral communication, when lepping is so much faster and better? 20898 Just_ what_ are you two talking about?
20898Lola, do you check me that this planet is named Hodell, that it is populated by creatures exactly like us? 20898 Lola?"
20898May I ask a couple of questions?
20898May I say a few words?
20898Maybe I''m dumb,Garlock broke in,"but just what are you going to use for money to get started?"
20898Miss Flurnoy, have they cleared the air over Pylon Six?
20898N. G."And this one?
20898Nerve? 20898 No trouble there....""What?"
20898No? 20898 No?
20898No? 20898 Not Dilipic?"
20898Not much to choose between, I''d say...''port me a tenth- piece, Clee? 20898 Of course?
20898Oh, I did n''t mean physically...."Through my blocks? 20898 Oh, I had n''t studied it... a pellet- projector....""_ Pellet!_ Do you call a four- seventy- five slug a pellet?"
20898Oh, I''m still''ace''? 20898 Oh, Miss Bellamy, too?
20898Oh, Miss Experience? 20898 Oh, did n''t you know?
20898Oh, may I go with you to your ship, sir, to take just a little look at it?
20898Oh, no?
20898Oh, you Arpalones do n''t die with your worlds, then?
20898Oh, you did n''t know? 20898 Oh, you have seen them?
20898Oh-- one of_ those_ things? 20898 Oh?
20898Oh? 20898 Oh?
20898Oh? 20898 Oh?
20898Oh?
20898Oh?
20898Operators, Primes, and the practically non- existent laws pertaining to their... what? 20898 Or lep it, so we two innocent bystanders can understand it?"
20898Orange- yellow? 20898 Ordinary?
20898People, yes-- but worlds?
20898Plain?
20898Please excuse this intrusion, Admiral-- or should it be plural? 20898 Power failure_ already_?"
20898Prime- proof? 20898 Probably Deg and I should do the same thing?"
20898Ready to go, Jim?
20898Ready, Clee?
20898Rehab?
20898Remember what I said about this drive not being conditioned to anything? 20898 Rough?
20898Run a search pattern first?
20898Scared?
20898Screen?
20898See? 20898 See?"
20898Shall Brownie and I set our blocks?
20898Shall we go screens half- down, Alsyne, and cry in each other''s beer?
20898Shall we go?
20898Shot?
20898So that you could exploit other planets? 20898 So why do n''t you, Fao and Deggi, put Jim in charge of construction?"
20898So will you, Junior, believe me.... Ready, all? 20898 So you and I are merely two red cells in the bloodstream of a super- dooper- galactic super- monster?
20898So_ I''m_ in it, too? 20898 So_ that''s_ what an eidetic memory is?
20898Stay here, sir? 20898 Such as?"
20898Suppose that, under such conditions, we refuse to attend the meeting?
20898Suppose we blast you and your jets out of the air and land anyway?
20898Surely not behind the Curtains? 20898 Talk about_ power!_ And_ speed!_ To get all that stuff and''port up here in the millisecond or so we had the screens open?
20898Thank you, sir... but what limits? 20898 That I''m being coerced?
20898The Arpales? 20898 The_ real_ story, I mean?"
20898Then how about Jim?
20898Then it is n''t that you do n''t want to, but you_ ca n''t_?
20898Then why do n''t you do it right now?
20898Think you can deliver on that, Clee?
20898Two hundred years in seventy- eight seconds? 20898 Um... m... m. What do you think?"
20898Well, Garlock, perhaps_ you_ will give us some screens- down facts?
20898Well, little Miss Weisenheimer,Garlock smiled quizzically at Belle,"You grabbed the ball-- what are you going to do with it?"
20898Well, what_ are_ you going to do?
20898Well, why did n''t I think of it myself, ten years ago?
20898Well,_ what_ do you think of_ that_?
20898Well?
20898What are these Ozobes?
20898What are you gunners supposed to be doing here?
20898What are you talking about, Chief?
20898What are you thinking about at the moment?
20898What at? 20898 What d''you suppose_ that_ means?"
20898What did it feel like, Belle?
20898What difference does that make? 20898 What difference would it make, anyway?"
20898What do we do, boss?
20898What do you mean by that?
20898What do you mean by_ that_ crack?
20898What do you mean,''ridiculous''?
20898What do you think, Thaker?
20898What do you think, sir?
20898What do you want to do first?
20898What do_ you_ think?
20898What good does it do? 20898 What happened, Clee?"
20898What in hell''s name are you bothering_ me_ with_ that_ stuff for? 20898 What points?"
20898What the hell are you trying to prove? 20898 What the hell kind of show is_ that_ to put on?"
20898What with? 20898 What would a warm- blood be doing out in space?
20898What''s the story, Jerry?
20898What, actually, have you done? 20898 What?
20898What?
20898Where are you going to sit down, Jim? 20898 Where are you?"
20898Where do we draw the line between humanoid and non- human?
20898Where do we fit in?
20898Where do you want us to sit, and do we strap down?
20898Where is this Clamer?
20898Where were they?
20898Where? 20898 Where?"
20898Where?
20898Which one of the many?
20898While landing here is forbidden-- top secret, you know-- would my refusal mean much to you?
20898Who cares anything about the rock and dirt of a_ planet_? 20898 Who do you think you''re kidding, boss?
20898Who is your superior officer?
20898Who, me? 20898 Why did n''t I think of that coffee business a couple of years ago?"
20898Why do n''t you talk sense, instead of such yak- yak?
20898Why do women have to go off the deep end on clothes?
20898Why from me?
20898Why have n''t you reported in?
20898Why not let this one drop right here, Belle? 20898 Why not?
20898Why not?
20898Why not?
20898Why not?
20898Why not?
20898Why should we be fussy about their street- cleaning department? 20898 Why the sob- and- moan routine, Clee, from a guy who''s going to be monarch of all he surveys?"
20898Why waste energy trying to crack a Prime''s shield? 20898 Why words, sweetheart?
20898Why, General Cardeen?
20898Why? 20898 Why?"
20898With suspension or expulsion from the Society the consequences? 20898 With your name?
20898Without hiring me first? 20898 World?"
20898Would n''t take as much as a kiloton equivalent, would it?
20898Would you like to be assigned to Mr. Garlock for the duration of his stay on Margonia?
20898Would you, Jim?
20898Yeah?
20898Yes, I was pushing with all my might,came from the three listeners, and James went on:"Are you saying the damn thing''s_ alive_?"
20898Yes, sir?
20898Yes, sir?
20898Yes? 20898 You admit that you''re using force?"
20898You are hereby promoted to be Head of the...."Oh, yeah?
20898You are transmitting this precisely, Miss Flurnoy?
20898You are willing, then, to fight side by side with us Arpalones against the enemies of humanity? 20898 You do n''t think we''ll ever get back, do you, Clee?"
20898You have the hospital room ready?... 20898 You knocked hell out of yourself, did n''t you?"
20898You know what that bleached- blonde tried to do? 20898 You know, I might take you up on that?
20898You know, of course, of the trip we took yesterday?
20898You mean you can_ restore_ planets so badly ruined that all the people die?
20898You unprincipled, lascivious, lecherous_ Hitler!_ Have you got the unmitigated gall to take_ me_ for a floozie? 20898 You''d be just as well pleased if I did n''t?"
20898You''ll_ What?_Ferber screamed.
20898You''re afraid of me, Lola?
20898You''re not?
20898You''ve_ seen_ one? 20898 You, personally, in the_ Pleiades_?"
20898You... you... Why, I was never so insulted...."Insulted? 20898 You_ are_ a Prime Operator, are n''t you?"
20898You_ have_ been thinking, have n''t you? 20898 Your call could come from any of the other solar systems in this neighborhood, then?"
20898_ Ace_, darling?
20898_ Brought?_"Yeah. 20898 _ Hungry?_ Look!"
20898_ That''s_ why you knew what I was thinking about, even though I tight- beamed the thought and my screens were tight?
20898_ Until_ we get back to Tellus there will be no Gunthering aboard this ship...."_ What?_Belle broke in again.
20898_ What?_ I_ will_ not! 20898 _ What?_""Exactly.
20898_ What_ a logic-- excuse me, skip it...."Oh, you really_ meant_ it when you said you were n''t going to fight with me any more?
20898_ What_ do you think about_ that_?
20898_ What_?
20898_ Why-- Belle-- Bellamy!_"_ What_ goes_ on_ here?
20898_ Would_ you, then, if I asked you to?
20898_ You''re fired!_"_ You_ fire_ me_?
20898_ You_ are complimenting_ me_?
20898***"Got a minute, Gene?"
20898***"How long do disease germs live in a human body after they''ve killed it?"
20898***"Will you please stop talking Sanskrit?"
20898***"Yeah?
20898A couple of shots in the arm?"
20898A couple of weeks?
20898A good- night kiss, Clee, darling?
20898A little knock like that?
20898A_ Prime''s_ blocks?
20898All that astronomy and anthropology that nobody ever even dreamed of before?
20898And I have n''t started yet?"
20898And James rammed home the red button that would send them-- all four wondered--_where_?
20898And after breakfast, in the Main--"About three weeks, Jim, you think?"
20898And do I transmit to and/or record for you, sir?"
20898And how about our own galaxy, the most important piece of all?
20898And if so,_ how_?"
20898And in Garlock''s room that night, getting ready for bed, Belle asked suddenly,"Clee, what in hell did you do to Fao Talaho?"
20898And is there anything else we have to cover now?"
20898And may we keep this box?
20898And nothing but firecrackers-- we''re going down, are n''t we?"
20898And put me on a tape for willful inurbanity?
20898And that the falling is altogether too apt to be the other way?"
20898And visiting restrictions and so on?
20898And why?
20898And with her guard down clear to the floor?
20898And you do n''t believe, Clee, that my thesis had anything to do with my holding out at first?"
20898And you have a very high regard for your virginity, too, do n''t you?"
20898And you tell_ me_ not to be ridiculous?"
20898Any connection?"
20898Any ideas?"
20898Any objections?"
20898Any suggestions, anybody?
20898Anyway, I''d rather kill him myself than wish the job off onto-- you do n''t_ like_ killing, do you?"
20898Apparent weight grew less and less, until:"This is about enough for you, Miss Flurnoy?"
20898Are there any other living beings aboard with you?"
20898Are we finally ready to go down and get to work?"
20898Are you any good at mind- bombing?"
20898Are you listening, Bellamy?"
20898Are you lying in your teeth or are you dumb enough to believe it yourself?"
20898Are you or are n''t you?"
20898Are you ready, Belle, to abandon the project, find an uninhabited Tellurian world, and begin to populate it?"
20898Are you trying to take me for a ride on_ that_ old sawhorse?"
20898Arpalones?"
20898As a matter of information, Belle, why did you take Jim in the first place?"
20898As far as I know, not even a rough estimate has ever been made-- has there, Clee?"
20898As of right now, are we under the Code or not?"
20898Ask me again sometime; say in about a month?"
20898Avengord?"
20898Back to Tellus, then?"
20898Back to the Main?"
20898Belle, what were you briefed for?"
20898Belle_ Bellamy_?
20898Besides astronomy, which is all yours, what do we need most?"
20898Besides, that''s your line, is n''t it?"
20898Besides....""What thesis?"
20898Better we eat, huh?
20898Breakfast over and out in the Main:"But when a man''s disposition is ugly all the time, how can you tell the difference?"
20898Brownie?
20898But anyway, unless... unless you find another Prime as strong as Clee is-- and I do n''t really think there are any, do you?"
20898But do you mean to actually say I can now completely block you or any other Prime out?"
20898But do you think Belle would actually peek?"
20898But honestly, Clee-- seriously, screens- down honestly-- can you see any possible future in it?"
20898But how about this?
20898But how about you?
20898But how come we got off on_ this_ subject, I wonder?
20898But how in all hell can Jim and I refuse to breed them up without dealing out the deadliest insult they know?"
20898But if that''s actually your picture of Brownie-- and you''re no part of a liar-- just what kind of a woman could you love?
20898But in love?
20898But just how, Clee-- if he''s as smart as you say he is-- do you think you can make him fire you?"
20898But just out of curiosity, are you two pairing, or not?"
20898But low or dirty or coarse or lewd, Clee?
20898But speaking of holding hands, would it help if we paired again?"
20898But such immense distances, sir... what can you possibly be using for a space- drive?"
20898But these creatures, naked and unarmed on the ground?
20898But think you can stand it, Belle, to wear more than twelve square inches of clothes?"
20898But what can I_ do_ about it, Clee?"
20898But what has an empty stomach got to do with the case?"
20898But who else are you going to marry?
20898But why?
20898Ca n''t you win?"
20898Can we--_dare_ we-- plant such genes where none have ever been known before?"
20898Can you tell me anything about it?"
20898Check, Belle?"
20898Check, Clee?"
20898Check, Clee?"
20898Check?"
20898Check?"
20898Check?"
20898Check?"
20898Check?"
20898Check?"
20898Clear so far?"
20898Clee, are n''t you sorry you got mad and blew your top and wanted to pick up your marbles and go home?
20898Could you do anything with that, Jerry?"
20898Definitely?"
20898Deggi and Fao?
20898Did n''t it sock you, too, Belle?"
20898Did n''t you know these four private rooms are solid?
20898Did you do any better?"
20898Did you eat your candy bar?"
20898Did you ever see a better- matched couple?
20898Did, or did not, this quiet, unannounced closing smell ever- so- slightly of cheese?
20898Do I understand correctly your thought that your race is_ Homo Sapiens_, the same as ours?"
20898Do I?
20898Do n''t I?"
20898Do n''t you ever lep?"
20898Do n''t you know what the thought''incompatible''means?"
20898Do n''t you see that?"
20898Do n''t you think I could do a good enough job?"
20898Do we_ have_ to wait until that confounded James boy gets back from wherever it was he went?"
20898Do you know you''re the only man I ever met that I could n''t make fall for me like a rock falling down a cliff?
20898Do you think she could actually have de- handed those men?
20898Do you think they''ve got spines stiff enough for the job?"
20898Do you think we wo n''t get it?"
20898Do you want in on it?"
20898Do you want to run some more tests, to see which of us is the intergalactic transporter?"
20898Do you, really?"
20898Do you?"
20898Does that make sense?"
20898Does that make you feel better?"
20898Even if we find a similarity, what could we do about it?
20898Even if you_ would_--and I''m just beginning to realize how big a man you really are-- can that kind of stuff be taught?
20898Even that other thing-- brotherly love?
20898Everyone sitting down?
20898Explain, please?
20898Fair enough?"
20898Fair enough?"
20898Fair enough?"
20898First, are you absolutely sure that our refusal-- Belle''s and mine, I mean-- to breed down will be valid with them?"
20898First, to work on me in bed....""See?"
20898For deliberate intersexual invasion of privacy?"
20898For instance, could Garlock be forced to do whatever it is that he does?
20898For instance, what would your computer do with the figures you shot at me the day we started out?
20898For what?"
20898Full formal, screens down and recorded?"
20898Genius?
20898Getting anywhere?"
20898Guardians?
20898Had n''t you better?"
20898Have I made myself clear?"
20898Have any of you thought of any improvement on Lola''s monogamous society?"
20898Have n''t you read your house- tape yet?"
20898Have you figured out a way to break it?"
20898Have you got a counter?"
20898Have you got_ that_ figured out yet?"
20898Have you read any of my papers?"
20898Have you studied paraphysics?"
20898Have you, Clee?"
20898He could n''t, very well, because after you''re married, it would....""Did the big lug tell you I was going to marry him?"
20898Here''s the first one-- what do you read?"
20898Hm- h- h- nh?"
20898How about calling it the''Galactic Service''?
20898How about cutting out this cat- and- dog act and getting some work done?"
20898How about it, Belle?"
20898How about landing conventions?
20898How about you, Clee?"
20898How are you coming with your calculations?"
20898How come you were smart enough to get the answer so quick, Brownie?"
20898How come?"
20898How could a Two-- a high Two, at that-- be working as an usher?
20898How could you_ possibly_ give a head of hair a static charge of fifty or a hundred kilovolts and not have it leak off?"
20898How did the visitors like Hodell?
20898How did you repeal the Law of Conservation?"
20898How do you like_ them_ parsnips, Your Royal Fatness?"
20898How do you like_ them_ potatoes, Buster?"
20898How do you two stand?"
20898How do you want it?"
20898How do you, a scientist, psionicist, and scholar, keep in such hard shape as that?"
20898How does it look?"
20898How does it work?"
20898How does this kind of stuff fit into that theory you''re not admitting is a theory?"
20898How does_ that_ fit into your theory?"
20898How long will it take to organize?
20898How long will it take you, Belle, to materialize those uniforms?"
20898How many red cells are there in your blood stream?"
20898How many samples do you want?"
20898How much will you see after I''ve cut one wire?"
20898How official do you want it?
20898How sure are you of that?"
20898How would you go about making first contact?"
20898How would you go about trying it?"
20898How''re you coming, Belle?"
20898How?
20898How?"
20898How_ dare_ you try to cut Chancellor Ferber off?"
20898I do n''t like that, but we do need the money... but we can have her for this coming week?"
20898I do n''t want to get sloppy but....""Want to lep it?"
20898I mean, could you if you wanted to?"
20898I mean, did he ever... well, sort of knock you around?"
20898I thought there were four of you?"
20898I trust that you, Governor Atterlin, will be kind enough to spread word of our physical shortcomings, and so spare us further embarrassment?"
20898If I can knock''em too groggy to think, will you carry on and keep''em that way?"
20898If a diet is wholesome, nutritious, well- balanced, and tasty, what shred of difference can it_ possibly_ make what its ingredients once were?"
20898If any?"
20898If it''s anybody''s business except your own?"
20898If the foregoing were true, what would_ you_ do, Junior?"
20898If we could visit your Tellus, perhaps...?"
20898If you tried to''port yourself without any idea of where you wanted to go, where do you think you''d land?"
20898In sync?"
20898Insisted on payment for every nut, wire, and service?
20898Is all the Xenology as cockeyed as I''m afraid it must be?"
20898Is it actually loose, or are we getting up into concepts that no human mind can grasp?
20898Is that clear?"
20898Is there a jump number, N, at which the probability is one- half that we land nearer Tellus instead of farther away?
20898It''ll be more productive to analyze the beams the Arpalones are using to break them up, do n''t you think?"
20898It''s the truth, is n''t it?"
20898Jim and Brownie?"
20898Jim?"
20898Just one-- and just a little one, at that?"
20898Labor?
20898Let''s get to work, shall we?"
20898Let''s get to work, shall we?"
20898Let''s try Semolo, on Lizoria, shall we?"
20898Lola?"
20898Lola?"
20898Marriage, declarations, registration, and everything?
20898May I borrow a''talker''like Miss Flurnoy for a few days?
20898May I meet your Secret Service Chief, please?"
20898Miss Flurnoy?"
20898Miss Mitala, do you want to listen or shall we drive it into you, too?"
20898Miss Montandon?
20898Missile launching stations and missile storage?
20898More feminine?
20898More subdued?
20898More than one way?
20898More... more adult?
20898My God, Clee, can_ you_ do_ that_?"
20898Need me?"
20898No bosses or anything?"
20898No reservations?
20898No teleportation?"
20898No, he did n''t_ know_ what would hatch out-- he''d never let one live that long, but what the hell else_ could_ hatch except Ozobes?
20898Not from this part of the galaxy, certainly... could it be that intergalactic travel is actually possible?
20898Not ordinary Gunther blocks?"
20898Oh, is n''t it_ wonderful_?"
20898Oh...."Garlock was taken slightly aback, but went on quickly,"What do you think of your opposite number, Belle?"
20898Okay; how many women could live with me for a year without going crazy?"
20898Okay?
20898On the other hand, if Ferber offered Belle Bellamy five million credits a year to''work''for SSE, is there anything we could do about it?"
20898On the third hand....""Three hands, Clee?
20898One of their moons?"
20898Or any one of the four, to say nothing of them all?
20898Or can you, really?"
20898Or did that belief weaken a bit when we met Baver 14WD27?"
20898Or do I?
20898Or say, if you wake up first, why not punch me and we''ll have breakfast together?"
20898Out of the dumps?"
20898Over Margon Base?"
20898Over here, see?
20898Pure egg- head... pure?
20898Question: should this authority be political?"
20898Read him?"
20898Ready?
20898Right?
20898Right?"
20898Right?"
20898Right?"
20898Screens down?"
20898Second question: if there is any possible way for him to get there, can he be made to stay away?"
20898See?
20898Seventy planets enough?"
20898Shall I bomb''em out?"
20898Shall I bring it here, or to a bank in the city?"
20898Shall I come in and try it?"
20898Shall I drop the linkage?
20898Shall I take her down now or do you want to check in from here first?"
20898Shall I teleport you aboard?"
20898Shall we go eat?"
20898Shall we go out?"
20898Shall we strap down and hang onto our teeth?"
20898She looks, acts, talks, and thinks like a_ virgin_.... Well, if that''s all, she is n''t any-- or is she?
20898She seemed-- quieter?
20898She told you, I suppose, when explaining a certain fact, that I told her she was n''t my type?"
20898Since I am always in tune with the field....""What does_ that_ mean?"
20898Skill?
20898So that''s it?"
20898So what''s the answer?"
20898Softer?
20898Spread it on me now, huh?"
20898Suppose we do n''t find anything at all?"
20898Suppose we meet forces already organized?
20898Suppose we take a fast tour, with you and I taking quick peeks, without the peekees ever knowing we''ve been peeking?"
20898Suppose you could?"
20898Suppose?"
20898Sure your stuff''s all aboard?"
20898Surely you do n''t think I''m enough of a heel, Jim, to step on your toes like that?"
20898Surely, you do n''t think I''m going to_ invite_ you into my room, do you?"
20898Than sheer perfection?"
20898That Jezebel?
20898That does n''t take either brains or ability....""Oh, no?"
20898That egomaniac?
20898That iceberg?
20898That might have something to do with it, do n''t you think?"
20898That now you''re going too far?
20898That reminds me-- are you getting anywhere on that N- problem?
20898That these twenty- odd men, having had their minds opened and having been given insight into what is possible, will go forward instead of backward?"
20898That with really adult Primes running things the Galactic Service would run itself?
20898That would keep them from killing anyone standing near me, do n''t you think?"
20898The city had disappeared long since; for hundreds of almost- level square miles there extended a sparkling, seething, writhing expanse of-- of what?
20898The funny pictures, eh?"
20898The pattern is not clear... but I wo n''t order screens down until I have to... if the reason had come from Belle....""_ Me_?"
20898The question is, do or do you not want those four deeply- buried cells blasted out of existence?"
20898Then where would he go?"
20898Then, through Belle''s solidly- set blocks,"How are you doing, ace?
20898Then, to Lola:"You''ve been reading these-- these Hodellians?"
20898Then, to the Engineer,"Do you know how they rehab a planet that''s been leveled flat by the golop?"
20898Then-- I''ll do it real slow, and watch me close-- you do like so... get it?"
20898Then:"Do you mean to say,"asked the merchant prince,"that you Galaxians are not the only ones who have interstellar travel?"
20898Then:"Do you think you''re kidding, Belle?"
20898These things were-- what?
20898They ca n''t go down a sewer that way?"
20898Those idiots you have been thinking of as''guardians''?
20898To have a private conference right out here in the Main... or is it?"
20898To minds linked to your own and to mine?"
20898To think you can add_ me_ to your collection of bootlicking, round- heeled tramps?"
20898Tomorrow morning all right with you?"
20898Unless, Alsyne, you do n''t agree?"
20898Until a day, then?"
20898Until, finally:"Clee, just how long are you going to keep this up?"
20898Very striking, of course, sir, but I do n''t think I''d care for it much on me-- unless you''d think I should, sir?"
20898We will be glad to trade you something for it, if we have anything you would like to have?"
20898We''re just about to open up the galaxy, are n''t we?"
20898Were all these worlds also peopled by_ Homo Sapiens_?
20898What age do you think this is-- that of the Vikings?
20898What are they?
20898What are you, an octopussy or an Arpalone?"
20898What are your ratios of value for the four metals here on Hodell?"
20898What can you do?"
20898What did he_ do_ to you, anyway?"
20898What did they feel like to you-- mosquito netting?
20898What do those facts mean to you?"
20898What do you think of_ them_ comfits, Chief?"
20898What do you think they''ve got down there, Clee Garlock, that could possibly handle you and me both?"
20898What do you think, Belle?"
20898What do you think, Jim?"
20898What do_ you_ think you''re good for on this project?
20898What first?"
20898What happens to the bodies they''re dumping down manholes?
20898What is it, then?"
20898What is it?
20898What is the reaction?
20898What job?"
20898What shall I study?"
20898What system are you using now?"
20898What then?"
20898What was it all about?"
20898What were they?
20898What would I have?
20898What would you think of_ that_ for a thesis, Lola?"
20898What''s so funny about that?"
20898What''s the angle?"
20898What''s the answer?"
20898What''s the matter?
20898What''s the use of being Primes if we ca n''t get any good out of it?
20898What, actually, have you got?
20898When SOP in getting a wife was to beat her unconscious with a club and drag her into the longboat by her hair?
20898When do we want to hit him?"
20898Where can you be from?"
20898Where do they come from?"
20898Where does this lead go to?"
20898Where from?"
20898Where is it, please?"
20898Where is its capital?
20898Where the_ hell_ have you been all morning?
20898Where''ll I flip it, Clee?
20898Where?"
20898Wherefore, when Garlock and his joyous companion reached the great spaceship--"How come you picked up_ that_ little man- eating shark?"
20898Which one do you want next?"
20898Which?"
20898Who does?"
20898Who else could run the Project?
20898Who is going to come to whom?
20898Who, Lingonor, is the leader of your opposition, if any?"
20898Who?
20898Why are you building your ship so small?"
20898Why ca n''t this one do it?
20898Why did n''t we blast them out of the way and land anyway?"
20898Why did you make yours so big?
20898Why do n''t all the planets get together and develop something to kill every Ozobe in every system of the group?"
20898Why do n''t you ever knock me into an outside loop?
20898Why else did you initiate our break?"
20898Why in all hell do n''t you start_ using_ it?"
20898Why not let''em really enjoy their honeymoon?"
20898Why not?"
20898Why the switch?
20898Why?"
20898Why_ should n''t_ it be us?"
20898Will you give me a try, Belle?"
20898Will you please give me enough of your mental pattern, Doctor Garlock, so that I can call you in case of need?
20898Will you sheathe your claws and take a lot of pains to be extra nice to her the rest of the day?"
20898Will you wait right here?"
20898With such people as the Prime Ministers, the labor and business leaders, the bosses and the gangsters to cope with?
20898With the''copters or over by the blast- pits?"
20898With those three as a grid, you could reach fifteen hundred or two thousand light- years, could n''t you?"
20898Wo n''t Xenology be in for a rough ride when we check in?
20898Worth a try?"
20898Would you and your two assistants like to teleport out here to us, and con us down yourselves?"
20898Would you be willing to sell us plans, or lease us ships...?"
20898Would you like to come along with us and see the end of this particular breeding- hole of sencors?"
20898Would you like to test our defenses?
20898You agree with General Cordeen that there will be one or more attempts at assassination?"
20898You are familiar, I suppose, with the phenomenon of ball lightning?"
20898You can do_ that_?"
20898You can lift large masses against much gravity?"
20898You certainly have-- what else do_ you_ suppose put me so far down into the dumps?"
20898You do believe, however, whether you want to or not, things you see with your own eyes?"
20898You do n''t know?
20898You have actually done so, at times, and won?"
20898You have others, I suppose?"
20898You know, I do n''t know of_ anything_ I''d rather have happen to me?"
20898You said I flaunted virginity like a banner, and now Belle.... What am I doing wrong?"
20898You see, nobody has visited this planet-- Groobe, its name is-- since almost all our humanity was killed, a few periods ago....""Killed?
20898You think_ I''m_ like Belle Bellamy?"
20898You two are really serious, are n''t you?
20898You want me, I take it, to cover humanoid races, too?"
20898You want to know why?"
20898You will, I trust, remain here long enough to discuss certain matters with my wife and me?"
20898You would n''t have any part of her, remember?
20898You''d do a better job, would n''t you, if you could concentrate on it?"
20898You''d think she''d....""Huh?"
20898You''ll be here a long time, I hope?
20898You''re worrying about_ me_?
20898You''ve always held that these generators work at random-- the rest of those assumptions are based on your theory?"
20898You''ve been listening to this stuff Lola and I were chewing on-- does any of it make sense to you?"
20898You''ve got them-- particularly those four Primes-- clearly in mind?"
20898You''ve met Alonzo P. Ferber, have n''t you?
20898You, with your Prime''s mind and your Prime''s body, not have any children?
20898You?
20898You?
20898You?"
20898You?"
20898Yours, personally, and others?"
20898_ You_ can block it, ca n''t you?"
20898and"In what way?"
20898so soon?
