Racing toward the south another flier sped toward Helium. In its cabin a tall red man bent over the soft sole of an upturned sandal. With delicate instruments he measured the faint imprint of a small object which appeared there. Upon a pad beside him was the outline of a key and here he noted the results of his measurements.

Aristocratic feet with dainty ankles! He stood looking at her until she turned and caught him. There was a change since last night. She was older. He could see it now the utter impropriety of his cuddling her up like a baby in the big chair--the impossibility almost. Mary Josephine settled his doubt. With a happy little cry she ran to him and Keith found her arms about him again and her lovely mouth held up to be kissed. He hesitated for perhaps the tenth part of a second if hesitation could be counted in that space. Then his arms closed about her and he kissed her. He felt the snuggle of her face against his breast again the crush and sweetness of her hair against his lips and cheek. He kissed her again uninvited. Before he could stop the habit he had kissed her a third.

Cry of some animal but then there came words of which I only caught the French exclamation "Mon Dieu!" With great caution I advanced in the direction from which the sound proceeded and this is what I saw. On a couch of dried leaves there was stretched a man dressed in the same grey uniform which I wore myself. He was evidently horribly wounded for he held a cloth to his breast which was crimson with his blood. A pool had formed all round his couch and he lay in a haze of flies whose buzzing and droning would certainly have called my attention if his groans had not come to my ear. I lay for a moment fearing some trap and then my pity and loyalty rising above all other feelings I ran forward and knelt by his side. He turned a haggard face upon me and it was Duplessis the man who had gone before me. It needed but one glance at his sunken cheeks and glazing eyes to tell me that he was dying. "Gerard!" said he; "Gerard!".

And looked on. At the end of half an hour Ethelbertha retired from the contest hot dirty and a trifle irritable. The fireplace retained the same cold cynical expression with which it had greeted our entrance. Then I tried. I honestly tried my best. I was eager and anxious to succeed. For one reason I wanted my breakfast. For another I wanted to be able to say that I had done this thing. It seemed to me that for any human being to light a fire laid as that fire was laid would be a feat to be proud of. To light a fire even under ordinary circumstances is not too easy a task: to do so handicapped by MacShaughnassy's rules would I felt be an achievement pleasant to look back upon. My idea had I succeeded would have been to go round the neighbourhood and brag about it. However I did not succeed. I lit various other things including the kitchen.

But when he tried to stride on the left leg it refused his weight and spilled him forward again. He almost hit his head on the side of the truck going down and was suddenly looking at himself in one of the hubcaps of the Scout. The convex surface made his face look like a grotesque funhouse mask. At least he had left the goddamned hat back at the house; if he had seen that on his head Mort thought he would have screamed.

They really had a gargoyle tending the counter! The gargoyle seemed to be made of coarse gray stone and when he flexed his wings small pieces of crushed rock and dust showered silently to the floor. His hands were taloned and there were curved spikes growing out of his elbows. The only redeeming feature I could see was his smile which in itself was a bit unnerving. Dominating his wrinkled face the smile seemed permanently etched in place stretching well past his ears and displaying a set of pointed teeth even longer than Aahz's. "Take your order?" the gargoyle asked politely the smile never twitching. "Um . . . " I said taking a step back. "I'll have to think about it.
