rmanence on HAPPY
GLADES--well, a machine is a machine. Where shall we put _you_?"
Captain Webber leaned on the arm of the little man and walked to the
open lock.
"You _do_ understand?" asked Mr. Greypoole.
Captain Webber's head nodded halfway down, then stopped; and his eyes
froze forever upon the City.
"A pity...."
The little man with the thin hair walked about the cabins and rooms,
straightening, dusting; he climbed down the ladder, shook his head and
started down the path to the wooden house.
When he had washed all the empty glasses and replaced them, he sat down
in the large leather chair and adjusted himself into the most
comfortable position.
His eyes stared in waxen contentment at the homely interior, with its
lavender wallpaper, needle-point tapestries and tidy arrangement.
He did not move.
