53611	Only,she added"we''ll''ave to go on breeding calves or we wo n''t get no milk, an''what are we goin''to do with the bullocks?"
53611	Point is, what''s the good of getting yourself in a funk about it? 53611 Pretty awful, is n''t it?"
53611	Rum go, ai n''t it?
53611	Sell?
53611	Shall I cast off?
53611	Shall you be''ere to- morrow?
53611	She''s a bit touched, is n''t she?
53611	Some of us''ll have to start a hareem, soon; who knows?
53611	Sorry to trouble you,he said,"but do you think this train''s been taken off, for any reason?"
53611	Talking about us, father?
53611	Tell me what you mean by''all right''?
53611	The sex instinct, fundamentally, is n''t it?
53611	This is a jolly old boat, is n''t it?
53611	Tongue, eh?
53611	Was''e a married man?
53611	We- el,remarked Flack,"I never''eard as''is''eart was affected, did you?"
53611	Well, I ca n''t''elp it, can I?
53611	Well, ai n''t you going to open it, father?
53611	Well, ai n''t you?
53611	Well, but''ow d''you know?
53611	Well, how can you expect us to get married when we have n''t got a decent thing to put on?
53611	Well, to be sure,she said,"I wonder if they''d let me sit down and rest for a few minutes?
53611	Well, we only brought four bottles of water with us,she said,"where are we going to get any more in Kilburn?"
53611	Well, well,he said,"will you come and have tea with me at the club?"
53611	Well?
53611	Well?
53611	Whacher got?
53611	Whacher want with cigars?
53611	What are you going to do with her?
53611	What are you putting your hat straight for?
53611	What are you talking about?
53611	What can one do?
53611	What did Mr Barker say to that?
53611	What do they say?
53611	What do you want?
53611	What good is it all, if there is no future?
53611	What have you got hold of now?
53611	What in''eaven''s name''s wrong, gel?
53611	What is it, Jasper?
53611	What is it, Mill?
53611	What is it?
53611	What is the good of going on?
53611	What is the matter?
53611	What of?
53611	What then?
53611	What were they afraid of?
53611	What yer think of this''closed door''business?
53611	What''ave you got to give us as is worth food?
53611	What''s he say?
53611	What''s the good of money when there''s nothing to buy with it? 53611 What''s the good of''em?"
53611	What''s the news?
53611	What''s the time?
53611	What''s up now?
53611	What''s up?
53611	What''s your remedy, then?
53611	What? 53611 What?"
53611	What?
53611	What?
53611	When did you leave there?
53611	Where are you going?
53611	Where can we go?
53611	Where from did you get tongue, my gal?
53611	Where have you come from?
53611	Where to?
53611	Where to?
53611	Where''s this shop of yours?
53611	Where?
53611	Which of you three is in command?
53611	Who are you?
53611	Who would n''t be?
53611	Who''d buy your''fal- lals''for you, I should like to know?
53611	Who''s it for, Mill?
53611	Who''s it for?
53611	Who''s to be any the wiser?
53611	Why ca n''t you leave me alone?
53611	Why do n''t you bring the letters in?
53611	Why does n''t he go himself?
53611	Why me?
53611	Why should Pan die and Dionysus live?
53611	Why?
53611	Will you change two pints of milk for a small tin of tongue?
53611	Work? 53611 Wot the''ell are yer starin''at?"
53611	Yes, yes-- what?
53611	Yes?
53611	Yes?
53611	Yet?
53611	You ca n''t drive me then?
53611	You ca n''t mean as you wo n''t sell us a glass of milk?
53611	You ca n''t steal from dead people,explained Blanche;"besides, who''ll have the things if we do n''t?"
53611	You can call me''engineer,''I suppose?
53611	You wait till Mr Right comes along,put in Mrs Gosling, and then turned the conversation by saying:"Well, father, what''s the news this evening?"
53611	You''re Mrs Isaacson, are you? 53611 You''re not going alone?"
53611	You''re not tired? 53611 You''ungry?"
53611	You''ve had no advice yet from Plymouth?
53611	You?
53611	''Oose paid for everything you''ve eat or drunk or wore ever since you was born?
53611	2"Have you heard?"
53611	After all why not?
53611	Ai n''t I to be allowed to judge of the nature of the investment I''m goin''in for?
53611	And how are we going to get back?"
53611	And what are you proposing to do?"
53611	And what in God''s name is the sense or reason of it?
53611	And what''s it all for, I ask you?"
53611	And, I say, do you think we''ll be able to raid some soap from somewhere?
53611	And, my dear, what difference can it make?
53611	Are you on, Mill?"
53611	Are you on?"
53611	Are you ready?
53611	Are you sure we''re goin''right, Blanche?"
53611	But iss it not better that we who are not peasants should go together?"
53611	But meanwhile what of mankind?
53611	But where we go?
53611	But, then, who could have helped themselves?
53611	Ca n''t you see that everything''s different?
53611	Ca n''t you see that money''s no good, that you ca n''t eat it, or wear it, or light a fire with it, like that other woman said?
53611	Ca n''t you understand, or wo n''t you?"
53611	Could it be that everybody was more natural, that there was less restraint?
53611	Did she tell you that, by the way?"
53611	Did you want to see me about anything particular?"
53611	Do n''t they bitterly resent the fact that their own men- folk are resistlessly drawn to stare at, and inwardly desire, such a woman?
53611	Do n''t they know perfectly well that such a woman is attractive to men in a way their own disguised bodies can never be?"
53611	Do n''t you know yourself that that attire is more attractive to you than any befrilled and bedecorated arrangement of lace, ribbons and gauds?
53611	Do you know what this place has been?"
53611	Do you realize that?
53611	Do you think any man is attracted by a litter of odds and ends?
53611	Do you think it matters what particular form of worship or pettifogging details of belief you adopt?
53611	Do you think the community can spare us?"
53611	Does it matter?
53611	Does n''t every woman sneer when they see some Frenchwoman, perhaps, who dresses to display her figure instead of hiding it?
53611	Doubtless she meditated on the many wrongs her daughters had done her, and wondered why she should have been brought out to die in this wilderness?
53611	Even when Mrs Gosling asked with perfect relevance,"Are we going to stop''ere, Blanche?"
53611	Five years ago I''adn''t got my big rise----""Oh, no, father; what would the neighbours think of us if we started to take boarders again?"
53611	Flack lifted his spectacles and holding them on a level with his eyebrows, said,"Bad news?"
53611	For a moment they stood awkwardly, staring; then Gurney said,"Any more news?"
53611	Had he been alone, that plunderer, or had his companions fled from him in terror?
53611	Have n''t we, Millie?"
53611	Have we, Millie?"
53611	Have you far to go?"
53611	Have you seen it?"
53611	He heard her and looked up,"What is it?"
53611	He pondered that for a time, and then asked,"Who were you?"
53611	How could one account for one''s presence in a London thoroughfare at seven o''clock on a bright May evening in such attire?
53611	How do we know that vessels have n''t been passing up the Channel for months past?
53611	I am writing now to tell you that I shall be back in London in a few days, and to ask you whether you can find a room for me in Wisteria Grove?''"
53611	I do n''t think----""Would n''t you be frightened of me if I picked you up and ran shouting into the woods?"
53611	I thought, perhaps, you might be willing to let us have some milk and eggs and vegetables in exchange?"
53611	I want you to tell me, were there any young men in London when you left?
53611	I was willing to reject it if I could find a flaw....""And then?"
53611	If she could sleep in your kitchen...?
53611	If you saw Pan, why should n''t she see Dionysus?
53611	In the bountiful South such a life might have its rewards, but how could they endure it in this uncertain and cruel North?
53611	Is it not inconceivable that any race of men could be wiser, more perfect than ourselves?
53611	Is it possible that there is traffic between America and Europe, and that they pass us by for fear of infection?
53611	Is n''t it awful how careless we are?"
53611	It iss well that we cling together?
53611	Jasper, surely we have all learnt certain things to avoid, have n''t we?
53611	Jasper, what?
53611	London William Heinemann 1913 BOOK I THE NEW PLAGUE I-- THE GOSLING FAMILY 1"Where''s the gels gone to?"
53611	Millie, lazy and indifferent, shrugged her shoulders and replied:"All very well, mother, but what can we do?"
53611	Not in the Strand?"
53611	Now we can be two jolly, clean human beings who understand each other, ca n''t we?
53611	Of what account was it that one girl was prettier or better dressed than her neighbour?
53611	She considered earnestly for a few moments and then asked:"Did you go into Charing Cross Post Office?
53611	She hesitated for a moment, and then said:"And what about you?
53611	Such a silly incongruous growth, was n''t it?
53611	Surely she must see that everything was different now?
53611	Surely they''ll keep the water goin'', though; whatever''appens, they''d surely keep the water on?"
53611	That was coming; that would have come if this plague....""What was that?"
53611	There were cries of"What is it?...
53611	Thirty miles or so, anyway?"
53611	This is where we are facing the beginning of law-- isn''t it?
53611	Understand?"
53611	Was she not, also, a widow?
53611	We buy heavily; yes?
53611	Well, are women all fools, or what is it?"
53611	Were the old gods coming back to witness the death of man, as they had witnessed his birth?
53611	Were women there, also, maintaining the terrible fight against Nature in the awful struggle to find food?
53611	What about your mother and you two girls?
53611	What are you afraid of?"
53611	What can I do?"
53611	What do these huge shops sell?"
53611	What had they to work for, and to hope for, save this miserable possession of unsatisfied life?
53611	What hope was there for that generation?
53611	What if it did?"
53611	What was his name?
53611	What was that?"
53611	What will they be like in five years''time?
53611	What work would there be to do?
53611	What''d they do with money if they got it?"
53611	What?"
53611	What?"
53611	When Mr Barker took up my advice, as''e did very quick, Mr Prince said,''You do n''t tell me as you really take this plague serious, Barker?''
53611	Where are you going to sleep to- night?"
53611	Where are you going?
53611	Who cared if some mad woman plundered every jeweller''s shop in the whole City?
53611	Who was to forbid theft or avenge murder?
53611	Who would do the work?
53611	Who''s that?"
53611	Who''s to wind''em?"
53611	Why are so many men irresistibly attracted by parlourmaids and housemaids?"
53611	Why do n''t they keep away from''em?"
53611	Why do n''t we have these windows cleaned sometimes?"
53611	Why do the fashions change every year-- sometimes more often than that in matters of detail?
53611	Why should he wait?
53611	Why should we think that this is the first?"
53611	Why would her mother be so foolish?
53611	Why, in the name of God, could not people keep quiet?
53611	Why, she argued, should n''t she go into Wycombe?
53611	Will you come and help us?"
53611	With one man to every thousand women or so, what can you expect?
53611	With the wind blowing towards us?"
53611	Would you care to go out as our special commissioner and report at length?..."
53611	Yes?
53611	Yes?"
53611	Yes?"
53611	Yes?"
53611	Yes?"
53611	You do n''t want to go to bed?"
53611	You have n''t seen any young man who at all resembles this photograph, have you?"
53611	You''re new here, are n''t you?"
53611	Zo?"
53611	a Queen, are you?"
53611	ai n''t it?"
53611	but shall you?"
53611	ca n''t you understand, mother,"broke out Blanche petulantly,"that the whole of London is absolutely deserted?
53611	ejaculated Gurney;"do you mean to say that women just accept these fashions without any sense or reason at all?"
53611	through the stage of"Well, well,''ow much do you want?
53611	what are you doing?"
53611	what does it matter?"
53611	what, what?
53611	where''s Cis?
53611	why to goodness not?"
20519	A fingernail?
20519	A way out?
20519	Am I a great big curse? 20519 Am I?"
20519	And I''m to follow yours?
20519	And have you radiating the fact like a broadcasting station?
20519	And how can I believe you?
20519	And if I fail?
20519	And knowing the score makes me also dangerous to your Highways? 20519 And now?"
20519	And to which school do you belong?
20519	And who is the character?
20519	And you found what, when you tried to call her?
20519	Anything?
20519	Apologize?
20519	Are you going to let him get away with this?
20519	Are you guilty or not guilty?
20519	Both sides?
20519	But Steve-- what can we do?
20519	But could n''t I have been told_ something_?
20519	But how does this apply to me?
20519	But how on Earth--?
20519	But what is their purpose?
20519	But what kind of a sign would call your interest so deep that you did n''t at least see the limb, even if you were perceiving the sign?
20519	But what makes you think you are being pushed?
20519	But what?
20519	But where did she go?
20519	But why would we lie to you?
20519	But--?
20519	Can-- I see-- How is--? 20519 Catch any plans from them?"
20519	Catherine?
20519	Certain?
20519	Chess?
20519	Could n''t someone tell me?
20519	Could n''t you have taken me in too?
20519	Depends upon exactly what?
20519	Did I ever deny it?
20519	Did you get it?
20519	Did you have a clean- up squad following me all the time, picking up the debris? 20519 Digging for what?"
20519	Dismal prospect, is n''t it?
20519	Do I look all shot to bits?
20519	Do go on? 20519 Do you believe me, Steve?"
20519	Do you hope to get more?
20519	Do you know much about crystallography?
20519	Do you want me to get the cure? 20519 Do you yourself really expect me to seek blessed oblivion?"
20519	Does it hurt?
20519	Done any drinking?
20519	Everybody?
20519	Fast?
20519	Fine day for a ride, is n''t it?
20519	For four months?
20519	For what?
20519	For what?
20519	Forget her--?
20519	Got any plans?
20519	Guinea pig?
20519	Has anybody ever stopped to consider mine?
20519	Has n''t anybody thought of arresting me for kidnapping, suspicion of murder, reckless driving and cluttering up the highway with junk?
20519	Have I got a vote? 20519 Have n''t you done enough already?"
20519	Have you an assignment?
20519	Helping it?
20519	How about the crazy man who questions his own sanity, using this personal question as proof of his sanity since real nuts_ know_ they''re sane?
20519	How about the guy that hauled me out of that wreck? 20519 How are you going to find out?"
20519	How can I believe you now?
20519	How can I possibly believe you?
20519	How come the Harrisons moved so abruptly?
20519	How do I get it?
20519	How far out does this damned dead area extend?
20519	How long have I been known to be a Mekstrom Carrier?
20519	How much postage did you cost? 20519 How''d you connect?"
20519	How''d you guess?
20519	Huh?
20519	Huh?
20519	Huh?
20519	I know that, sir, but--"Then why do you disobey?
20519	I presume these signs cost quite a bit more than the stark, black and white enamel jobs?
20519	I suppose you know that I''m still trying to find my fiancà © e?
20519	I was n''t trying, then--"How about the people in the hotel in Denver?
20519	I-- what?
20519	Impossible?
20519	In other words you are more than willing to be convinced?
20519	In other words your parents are due for the treatment next?
20519	Is it bad?
20519	Is it terrible?
20519	Is n''t medicine a field that deals with people?
20519	Is n''t that bad? 20519 Is n''t the fact that you''re Mekstrom and I''m human likely to cause some rather pointed comment?"
20519	Is what terrible?
20519	It''s cold outside, remember?
20519	Just exactly what do you have in mind?
20519	Just like that?
20519	Just what has this to do with me and my future?
20519	Just what went on?
20519	Just where do they live?
20519	Just why was this registered nurse travelling with you?
20519	Know the route?
20519	Later?
20519	Let well enough alone?
20519	Look,I asked him,"why not admit it?
20519	Look,I said with a sudden thought,"Why ca n''t I still go on?
20519	Looking for someone?
20519	Marian?
20519	May I cut in?
20519	May I point out that I am far ahead of your game? 20519 May I quote you?"
20519	Mekstrom''s?
20519	Mind if I ride back to the house with you, mister?
20519	Mind telling a non- telepath what the devil you cooked up?
20519	Mind telling me what I''m slated for? 20519 Miss Macklin, you Mekstroms have hard bodies, but do you think your hide will stop a slug from this?"
20519	Moved?
20519	No feeling?
20519	No?
20519	No?
20519	Now, Miss Nameless, you sit over there and tell me how come this distressing tableau?
20519	Now,he finished,"Shall I read you chapter and verse?"
20519	Odd theory?
20519	Oh, Steve--"And then again maybe you''re doing your best to lead my puzzled little mind away from what you consider a dangerous subject?
20519	Oh, he did, did he?
20519	Oh, it is n''t so worthless, is it?
20519	Oh?
20519	One thing,she suggested,"have you talked to the people who got you out from under your car yet?"
20519	Poor esper,she said softly,"you could n''t really know--""Know what?"
20519	Pushed around?
20519	See here,I snapped,"did you ever have a guest named Farrow?"
20519	See?
20519	Shall we have a drink and relax for a moment?
20519	Shock?
20519	Siberia? 20519 So have you any plans?"
20519	So how do I go out and get it?
20519	So long as someone does the work, huh?
20519	So now what happens?
20519	So what do I do to avert this future?
20519	So what do we do now?
20519	So what has this to do with Mekstrom''s Disease and supermen?
20519	So what tripped you up?
20519	So what''s this truth?
20519	So where is all this getting us?
20519	So who wrote me?
20519	So--"So what do you propose to do about this?
20519	So?
20519	Sort of when a locomotive falls on their head?
20519	Spokes? 20519 Steer?"
20519	Steve, what on Earth are you talking about?
20519	Steve,she said earnestly,"Believe me and let me be your--"# Better half?# I finished sourly.
20519	Steve,she said,"why do you do these things?"
20519	Successful?
20519	Such as--?
20519	Suppose,said Miss Macklin unexpectedly,"that it is impossible?"
20519	The full treatment--? 20519 The what?"
20519	Then explain the license, the date with the reverend, the hotel reservation?
20519	Then for the love of God, what do you expect of me?
20519	Then what is the difference?
20519	Then what is this all about? 20519 Then what the devil is wrong?"
20519	Then where the hell is she, Doc?
20519	Then why all this balderdash about shock, rejection, and so on?
20519	Then why was-- is-- she here so long?
20519	Then you begin to agree with me?
20519	They took to it willingly?
20519	Think I''ll have to learn all over?
20519	Think it''s safe for me to wait?
20519	To what?
20519	Trouble?
20519	True,said Mr. Macklin,"And yet, if they declared their intentions, how long would they last?"
20519	Understand what?
20519	Want to start something?
20519	Well, where do we go?
20519	Well, why in the devil do n''t you announce yourselves?
20519	Well, you''d still prefer to find her alive, would n''t you?
20519	Were you all working to innoculate me at Homestead, or were you really studying me to find out what made me a carrier instead of a victim?
20519	Were you?
20519	Were?
20519	Wha--?
20519	What am I?
20519	What are we looking for?
20519	What are you going to do?
20519	What cooks, Farrow?
20519	What did they find?
20519	What do they do with failures?
20519	What do you consider good evidence?
20519	What do you mean?
20519	What do you mean?
20519	What else can I do, Steve?
20519	What gives?
20519	What goes on?
20519	What good did you do there?
20519	What happened?
20519	What have you got that I have n''t got?
20519	What have you in mind for him?
20519	What is the meaning of all this? 20519 What may I do for you?"
20519	What next?
20519	What would you like me to just give up, Marian? 20519 What''s the treatment like?"
20519	What''s to talk over?
20519	What''s your trouble--?
20519	What--?
20519	What?
20519	Wheelchair?
20519	When would they have the chance?
20519	Where are you?
20519	Where have you been published?
20519	Where--?
20519	Which train?
20519	Which way do I go from here? 20519 Which way?"
20519	Which will it be? 20519 Who are your writers?"
20519	Who can?
20519	Who is n''t?
20519	Who''s to decide?
20519	Who-- me?
20519	Why could n''t I have joined her-- you--?
20519	Why did n''t they?
20519	Why dispute my word?
20519	Why do n''t you come on in?
20519	Why is he quietly sitting there in Mekstrom hide while he is overtly grieving over the painful death of his fellow man?
20519	Why not give it up?
20519	Why not?
20519	Why on earth would they be doing that?
20519	Why should I smoke my own?
20519	Why would you lie to me?
20519	Why, Mr. Cornell, what are you doing back here?
20519	Why?
20519	Why?
20519	Why?
20519	Why?
20519	Will Catherine find solace in Phillip''s arms? 20519 Will you get my car?"
20519	Will you wear it again, my dear?
20519	Wo n''t that be dangerous?
20519	Yeah?
20519	Yeah?
20519	Yeah?
20519	Yes, your honor?
20519	Yes?
20519	You did n''t happen to notice whether the mailbox flag was up, did you?
20519	You drove across the country before, remember? 20519 You mean that?"
20519	You realize that you''re probably as big a liability with us as you were trying to find us?
20519	You would n''t have wanted us not to help? 20519 You''d like to register a formal charge?
20519	You''ll be all right?
20519	You''ll listen to the bitter end?
20519	You''re certain that Phelps is a Mekstrom?
20519	You''re certain?
20519	You''re informing me?
20519	You''re not really a failure yet, are you, kid?
20519	You''re speaking of what?
20519	You''ve got something to add?
20519	Your folks at home?
20519	# And the fact that I was carrying a story that would get me popped into the nearest hatch for the incipient paranoid made it all right?# She nodded.
20519	# Can I see her?#"Lord no!"
20519	# Catherine?# I thought sharply, because most medicos are telepath, not perceptive.
20519	# Eight days?
20519	# Eleven o''clock.#"Going to call?"
20519	# Fingerprints?#"You''d been dating her."
20519	# How bad off am I?#"You''re a mess, Steve.
20519	# Mekstrom''s Disease--?# was my thought of horror.
20519	# Now-- why?# The telepath half of the team answered.
20519	# So they moved so fast that they could n''t even change their Highway Sign?# I thought worriedly.
20519	# Telepath?# He nodded imperceptibly.
20519	# Telepath?#"Yes, and a good one."
20519	# The laboratory again?# I thought.
20519	# What are they saying, Farrow?# I snapped mentally.
20519	# Who else is awake?#"Just me, so far,"she replied quietly.
20519	''Ca n''t it wait until morning?''
20519	40?"
20519	After all, would you want Catherine to stay with you?
20519	Again, as apparently irrelevant, she said,"He''s a top grade telepath; he knows control--""Control--?"
20519	Am I not correct?"
20519	Am I not right?"
20519	Among the other incredible items--""Incredible?"
20519	And at this point the long long trail takes a fork, does n''t it?
20519	And beyond your basic suspicions, what can you prove?"
20519	And you?"
20519	And, most important of all... could Steve find that enemy before they made him vanish too?
20519	Another disappearance?
20519	Another week or two--?"
20519	Are you?"
20519	As I was saying, how can we credit much of your tale when you raved about one man lifting the car and the other hauling you out from underneath?"
20519	As a mechanical engineer, you are familiar with the line of reasoning that we non- engineering people call Occam''s Razor?"
20519	As we turned back South, I asked her,"Any more comment?"
20519	Away from or toward what?
20519	But do you have to prove it?"
20519	But if neither side can afford to have the secret come out, how come--?# I pondered this for a long time and admitted that it made no sense to me.
20519	But lacking your original plan, what are you going to do now?"
20519	But now--""Now what?"
20519	But our mutual desire to find some privacy in this modern fish- bowl had put me in the hospital and Catherine-- where--?
20519	But who would reject a block and tackle in favor of an impossibly strong man?
20519	But why did n''t someone stop to think of the poor benighted case who was in the accident ward?
20519	But why would Scholar Phelps be lying?
20519	But,#--how could anyone have taken a look at the scene of the accident and not seen traces of woman?
20519	Ca n''t you stop accusing yourself of some evil factor?
20519	Can you dig that fine, Officer?
20519	Can you make it alone, Steve?
20519	Car?
20519	Changing the subject, I asked,"but what about the others who just drop out of sight?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Cornell?"
20519	Could I have mis- heard you?"
20519	Could either side afford to let you walk into New Washington with the living proof of your Mekstrom Body?"
20519	Could n''t you do the usual job?#"You were pretty badly ground up, Steve.
20519	Did you dig her telephone number?"
20519	Do I turn with the missing spoke, or do I turn with the one that is not missing?
20519	Do you understand?"
20519	Doctor--?#"Sorry, Steve.
20519	Doctor?
20519	Eventually I held her up from me, tried to shake her gently, and said,"Now what''s the shooting all about, Farrow?"
20519	Ever heard of it?"
20519	Finally I said,"Marian, if you know that I''m not to be changed by logic or argument, why do you bother?"
20519	Fred Macklin interrupted,"Look, Dad, why are we bothering with all this guff?"
20519	From my first meeting with her I knew she was no telepath, so I bluntly said,"Where''s the regular girl?
20519	Going to amputate?
20519	Going to watch me writhing in pain as my infection climbs toward my vitals?
20519	Had Mr. Macklin given me the truth or was I being sold another shoddy bill of goods?
20519	Harrison?"
20519	Have n''t you any feelings?"
20519	Have you ever been put on an odious job, only to find that the job is really pleasant?"
20519	Have you ever heard of the psi- pattern changing before?__ Ah, and another item, that road sign with the busted spoke has been replaced.
20519	He shook his head unhappily as he said,"Why ca n''t you leave well- enough alone?"
20519	His voice rasped,"Indeed?"
20519	How did you get out?"
20519	How many people did you convince?"
20519	How the heck did you find us?"
20519	How would you select them?"
20519	I asked,"Phil, please tell me-- what is going on?"
20519	I broke the silence by saying,"What right has any man or collection of men to decide whether I, or anyone else, has the right to live or die?"
20519	I eyed him cynically and then added,"Or is it''Whom shall I kill?''
20519	I flipped my lighter and let her inhale a big puff before I put the next question:"Why are you here and what goes on?"
20519	I had to grab myself to keep from yelling,"Unfortunate?"
20519	I interjected,"And what do we do about it?"
20519	I looked down at the hand and said,"Young lady, do you realize that you have an advanced case of Mekstrom''s Disease?"
20519	I posed the question:# Am I nuts?#"No, Steve,"she replied solemnly.
20519	I said hopefully,"I suppose as a Mekstrom I''ll eventually be qualified to join you?"
20519	I snapped,"Farrow, what grade of telepath is Catherine?"
20519	I stopped briefly a few hundred feet from the lead- in road and asked Miss Farrow:"What''s your telepath range?
20519	I took a fast stab:"Doctor, how does my flesh differ from yours?"
20519	I tried giving him stare for stare, but eventually I gave up and said,"So now where do we go?"
20519	I''ll call Step Two passably okay, but--?
20519	I''m a bit less than bright, but what have I done now?"
20519	I''ve been here eight days--?"
20519	I--""Will you come quietly, Mr. Cornell?
20519	If our child came as predicted, the first thing I''d do would be to have the child inoculate the father?
20519	If they wanted to take over the Earth, could n''t they do it by a show of force?
20519	Inwardly I grinned, and then with the same feeling as if I''d laughed out loud at a funeral, I said,"Through these steel bars?"
20519	Is n''t it wonderful, though?
20519	Is n''t that about it?"
20519	Is that it, Marian?"
20519	Is that right?"
20519	It changes them so--""But that''s what I''m headed for, is n''t it?"
20519	Just die?
20519	Keep it running in one direction, please?"
20519	Know what happens?"
20519	Know where they went?"
20519	Likely to bring''em out of Hiding?"
20519	Makes me sort of a male Typhoid Mary, does n''t it?"
20519	Maybe we all had it in for Catherine, and did her in?"
20519	Maybe--?"
20519	Me?
20519	More evidence to the fact that Miss Lewis was with you?
20519	Mr. Cornell, what is your reaction to Mekstrom''s Disease at this point?"
20519	Mullaney,''he asks me,''How would you like to be that strong?''
20519	New?"
20519	Now do you understand?"
20519	Now, Mr. Cornell, how about this theory of yours?"
20519	Now, Mr. Cornell, may I see that postcard?"
20519	Now, Steve, ready to steer?"
20519	Now, suppose you tell me what happened?"
20519	Now, what gives?"
20519	Officer-- are you telepath or perceptive?"
20519	Okay?"
20519	Or a gunny sack weighted down with an anvil?
20519	Or are you going to cut it off inch by inch and watch me suffer?"
20519	Or did the Highways make you indulge in a running competition?"
20519	Or did you come second class mail?"
20519	Or did you just pick up the ones you wanted?
20519	Or do they drum you out of the corps?"
20519	Or had he spun me a yarn just to get me out of his house without a riot?
20519	Or shall I lay one along your jaw and carry you?"
20519	Or shall I put the big arm on you?"
20519	Or would you rather wait until my parents are cured?
20519	Or,"I went on bitterly,"is it the Hypocritic Oath?"
20519	Or,"she added slyly,"have you been trained to prepare a patient for the full treatment?"
20519	Painfully?"
20519	Perhaps of kidnapping, or maybe illegal restraint?"
20519	Ran twelfth in your class at Illinois, did n''t you?"
20519	Relax, will you Steve?
20519	Right?"
20519	Right?#( Farrow nodded slowly.)
20519	Sensible?"
20519	Shall I please everybody by taking a bite of my hip- pocket artillery sights whilst testing the trigger pull with one forefinger?
20519	She slipped her hands out sidewise on the backs of their seats, put her face between them and said,"Anybody got a cigarette, fellows?"
20519	She tried:"Mr. Cornell?
20519	She went on,"I suppose you would not be happy with the usual press release?"
20519	So how long have I been here?#"Eight days."
20519	So that you could watch her die at the rate of a sixty- fourth of an inch each hour?"
20519	Something that really is not so?"
20519	Somewhere, Old Adam must have been slightly to blame--?"
20519	Sounds reasonable, does n''t it?"
20519	Steve, can you hear me?"
20519	Steve, if James Thorndyke had asked me to jump off the roof, I''d have asked him''what direction?''
20519	Steve-- what are we up against?"
20519	Stock?
20519	Tell me, did anyone see you leave that apartment with Miss Lewis?"
20519	Tell me, fellow, where are you now?"
20519	That about it?"
20519	The door opened and a big stubble- faced gorilla gazed out and snarled at me:"Are you the persistent character?"
20519	The high jump?
20519	The next awkward question comes up: What are we going to do with me?"
20519	Then she looked up at me with troubled eyes and asked,"What are you going to do now, Steve?"
20519	Then we cracked up.#"What did it?"
20519	There ai n''t no woman in this room, see?"
20519	This is not my own idea alone, but the combined ideas of a number of people who have studied the human mind--""In other words, I''m nuts?"
20519	To stand there and watch the tears in the eyes of a woman as she asks you,"But ca n''t you remember, son?"
20519	To the door down there-- three beyond the one you''re perceiving now-- is there a wheelchair there?"
20519	Understand?"
20519	Understand?"
20519	Well, have you ever eyed the human race in slightly another manner?"
20519	What about the character in 913?"
20519	What can I do for you?"
20519	What could I say to that?
20519	What do I have to do to gain this benefit?
20519	What does he say?"
20519	What happens next?"
20519	What have I done, other than to be present just before several people turn up missing?
20519	What is your next move?"
20519	What possible justification have you for putting me through my jumps?"
20519	What shall we do next?"
20519	What should I do?
20519	What the hell did I know, really?
20519	What was Phelps getting at?
20519	What was behind the spreading plague called Mekstrom''s Disease?
20519	What we must know now is: Is Steve Cornell, the Mekstrom Carrier, now a non- carrier because he has contracted the disease?"
20519	What were the oddly sinister symbols along otherwise ordinary roads?
20519	What would it be now?"
20519	What would you like to know?"
20519	What''s cooking?"
20519	When he saw the stuff taking hold, Thorndyke asked,"Steve, just who is Catherine?"
20519	Where is?"
20519	Where''s my nurse?"
20519	Who could?"
20519	Who do I have to kill?"
20519	Who ever hunted ducks from a canoe, dressed in windbreakers and hightopped boots?
20519	Who was the elusive enemy with powers even beyond those ESP had bestowed on mankind?
20519	Why bother to ask me how I feel?"
20519	Why must I fumble my way through this as I''ve fumbled through everything else?"
20519	Why were there"blank"spots where telepathy did n''t work?
20519	Why, then, had Catherine come here to place herself in their hands?
20519	Will Steve catch Mekstrom''s Disease?
20519	Will you help bring to the Earth''s People the blessing that is now denied them?"
20519	Without knowing that I was asking, I cried out,"But why?"
20519	You ask me,''am I going to live or die?''
20519	You do n''t mind?"
20519	You''re no pinup boy, Steve, but-- and this may come as a shock to you-- women do n''t put one- tenth the stock in pulchritude that men do?
20519	You''re not endowing them with extraterrestrial origin, are you?"
20519	_ Lenient--?_"However, unless you are able to pay, I have no recourse but to exact the prison sentence of ninety days.
