61844Do you hear me, young fool?
61844Do you think this is the time for detective work?
61844For love of Venus, Thekla, or love of the Legion?"
61844How could I go back, with a hanging charge against me?"
61844Ice cold and greenish, bubbling in blue glasses?"

63304Who are we to decide if this is a good thing? 63304 You see?"
63304*****"You see?"

62325See anything, Mac?
62325See, bossmac?
62325The wall?
62325The''pedes are coming, are n''t they?
62325Then how about letting me use that as a tank?
62325Then how can they plan and act all together?
62325Think that''ll stop them long?
62325We''ve won?
62325Well?
62325What about you?

62325You seeing things, Mac?
62325_ Almost?_Swede echoed.
62325And me?
62325Are you trying Adonis City, Limpy?"
62325But had he killed the brains that had directed this gigantic assault on the mine?
62325But were the animals merely disorganized only as long as the broadcast continued, or had their rulers really been killed?
62325But where were they?
62325His face whiter and more contorted than ever, Limpy said:"Why do n''t you guys beat it?"
62325How about you?
62325How does a beehive act as a unit?
62325How long would they remain severed from the controlling brains?
62325Should they give up the fight against the shrewd, heartbreakingly persistent vermin?
62325Straightening, Mac asked:"How many fishmen are staying?"
62325Were the''pede dictators in the center of that battalion?
62325Where''s the queen''pede, or the brain, or whatever it is?"
62325Why do n''t we blow up the place and quit?"
40993And how did you expect to get away with the platinum?
40993But the troglodytes?
40993But what about Raynor and Davy?
40993But why?
40993Ca n''t we go the rest of the way in this? 40993 Campfire markers?"
40993Did you plant the platinum, or is it back there?

40993Might I go with you and the men, Captain?
40993Or have you hidden it?
40993Plain as day, ai n''t it, Ben?
40993Somewhere and hide?
40993Then you admit Brady is innocent?
40993Then you''re not the outlaw we supposed you to be?
40993Was n''t there an explosion?
40993What have you to say for yourself, Hantel?
40993What is it?
40993What will they do now?
40993What''s our altitude?
40993What''s up, anyways?
40993What''s wrong?
40993What''s wrong?
40993Where''ll we go?
40993Where''s the platinum?
40993Who are you two?
40993Who is he?
40993Wonder what the idea is?
40993You were taking orders from this man?
40993Had he come back to life in some miraculous manner?
40993If he knew, I asked myself, why was it he did not come right out and make an accusation with whatever evidence he held?
40993Think we''d better awaken Cragley?"
40993What apology could there be to this Innocent man he had all but sent to his death?
40993Will the owner of this ingenious little invention step up-- or do I have to call his name?"
40993Will you kindly explain how you intended making a getaway with the platinum?"
63062Can you help us? 63062 Can you help us?
63062Do you live?
63062How did you know? 63062 How is it you can boss them around?
63062Oh Lord,_ what did he see before he drowned_?
63062Why do you want to do it? 63062 Would you like to be worshiped after you die?
63062You mean that all you creatures out of space are dying? 63062 ***** After a long moment Lundy said,She?"
63062And if he did, what would it get anybody?
63062Big enough to catch The Vampire Lure in a net and keep it there, and not go nuts himself?
63062Can you bring our mates back safe?
63062Crazy?
63062Do you follow her, too?"
63062How did you know I was here?"
63062If The Others should come....""The Others?"
63062It is pleasant to be worshiped._"Pleasant?"
63062Kill?
63062Lundy said,"Where are they?"
63062Oh, can you help us?"
63062So you kill a good guy like Farrell, and drown Jackie Smith...."_ Kill?
63062That the-- the madness will stop of itself?"
63062Was this Lundy guy so much bigger than Farrell and Smith, and all the other men who had gone crazy over Her?
63062What is your thought?
63062Why did this planet take us out of space?
63062Why do you have to torture men-- drive them crazy for something they ca n''t have-- kill them?"
63062Why not plants with thinking minds?
63062Why not?
63062Would you like to be remembered always as something good and beautiful-- a goddess?"
63062You think I''d let you go?
63062You think anything you could do would make me let you go?"
63062_ Oh, hell!_ thought Lundy wearily,_ wo n''t he ever stop screaming?_ The rockets beat and thundered.
63062_ That would be better than to be forgotten._"Will you do what I ask of you, then?
63062_ Torture?
63062_ Will you let me free of this net?_"If you promise to do what I ask."
62314A_ gnau_?
62314And I?
62314And just who do you think you are? 62314 Are you ready?"
62314But why? 62314 Do n''t you think it was an exciting dream?"
62314How do you feel?
62314May I come in?
62314My name? 62314 No name?
62314Shall we go now?
62314Shall we go on?
62314Trossa, how about some flowers at my ears-- or do you think that it would look a little too much--?
62314What about you?
62314What do you mean, you have none?
62314What was it?
62314What''s your name?
62314Who are you?
62314You see nothing about me worthy of your respect? 62314 A god?
62314A house, fallen from the sky?
62314A house?
62314And what is that?"
62314And who knows how far away that light is?
62314Are n''t you listening?"
62314Are you infinitely superior to me--_me_?"
62314But who are you?
62314But whoever heard of a metal house?
62314Have you come to take me there?"
62314How long have I been ill?"
62314Of what use were those things on his belt-- for instance, that notched L- shaped thing?
62314Robert"--she laid longing hands on his shoulders--"can''t you see that I''m in love with you?"
62314Shall I carry the girl?"
62314She spoke her thought:"What are you doing?
62314Then Koroby said,"But if it is so far away, how could you speak my language?
62314Then she asked,"Is it far?
62314Too bad-- it had been such a dry year--"You''re comfortable?"
62314What could it possibly be?
62314What did you think you were doing?"
62314What was he thinking as he eyed her for a long moment?
62314Where are you from?
62314Where''s Yasak?
62314Where''s the strange man in armor?"
62314You"--he gripped Koroby''s shoulder, and his strength made her wince--"tell me, where is the nearest city?
32901Are you a racial purist? 32901 But what kind of a society will men like that create?
32901I imagine your stock is n''t so high with old scabbard and blade right now, is it?
32901Maybe you could shoot them on arrival?
32901So what do you intend to do-- run out and turn it all over to Carlson?
32901Well, then, what about the gold story?
32901Well, then-- if I had an idea you agreed with, the surest way to kill it would be to have you present it to him, right? 32901 What about freedom of religion and freedom from oppression?
32901What are you planning to do? 32901 What do you mean, impossible problem?"
32901What was all this talk about balance, instability, initiative and all the rest?
32901What will happen if you quit?
32901What''s the matter, Workham?
32901Who have you robbed lately?
32901Why did n''t you tell me about this before?
32901Why not leave this last batch of quitters right where they are? 32901 Why?
32901Wo n''t they be angry with everyone connected with the project because of the hoax?
32901You mean you''re going to try this without even discussing it with the personnel group?
32901And even if it was the same bait, why were n''t the same kind of people attracted?
32901And if you see Jaimie, send him along too, will you?
32901And who will go and live there among them later?"
32901Are they mostly farmers or technicians?"
32901Can you take it?"
32901Do n''t you know this project is vital to every person on Earth?
32901Do you trust me?"
32901How did you fight a thing like that?
32901How did you select a computer man, a communications man, an engineering physicist, out of a group of men with similar backgrounds?
32901How do they break down?
32901If we get tough with these babies, who will take a chance later on that we wo n''t repeat the trick?"
32901Is n''t that what brought people to this country?
32901It''s an idea that has about a fifty- fifty chance of being right in this case... would you be willing to try it?"
32901Jaimie, how did you do it?
32901Now, can you get me the files on this latest group?
32901Remember, you said if there were only a recent pioneer civilization around, you''d run to them with ink- blots and vocabulary tests?
32901That right?"
32901The better element in Europe did n''t come here at first-- why should they?
32901They''ll want to know why the planet had to be colonized that way-- why would n''t the_ first_ colonists stay?"
32901Volunteer?"
32901Want only your kind of people to get to Venus?"
32901Want to swap?"
32901Were we so far wrong as that?"
32901What difference would it have made?"
32901What do you have in mind?"
32901What kind of a personnel director are you?
32901What the devil are you getting so upset about?"
32901When do you expect to go and live there yourself?
32901Why do n''t you just refuse to bring them home?
32901Why?"
32901You saw that first compound full-- where in that cesspool was Thomas Paine, or Franklin, or Miles Standish?"
32901You''ll have to soon, wo n''t you, to complete the Project Record in residence?"
51681But ca n''t Harla understand that the entire bunch of us are willing that he should take a peek?
51681But what has privacy to do with it? 51681 Ca n''t get her back?"
51681Ca n''t he get a clear view?
51681Can anyone?
51681Can this psi- man Harla penetrate metal?
51681Can you speak for him?
51681Did n''t you label''em?
51681Did you cook this out of your head, or did you use a handbook?
51681Do I what?
51681Do you really know what you''re doing?
51681Do you?
51681Does this Harla understand the Heisenberg Effect?
51681Explanation?
51681Flesh?
51681For example?
51681Gamble?
51681Has this Harla any mental block about examining the outside?
51681Has this Harla fellow followed me so far?
51681Holly-- dead?
51681How do you mean?
51681How do you propose to explain this unfortunate incident?
51681How so?
51681If we face north, the sun rises on our right, does n''t it?
51681Is Harla color- blind?
51681Know of any scars or birthmarks?
51681Maybe you can deliver an''English, Self- Taught''course through Teresa to the Venusian?
51681Meaning?
51681Meaning?
51681Oh?
51681Privacy? 51681 Screws?"
51681She''s-- she''s-- not--?
51681So how do you tell which is the north pole?
51681So what''s your point?
51681So?
51681Such as?
51681Teresa?
51681Trouble, Paul?
51681Well,I persisted,"can he penetrate flesh?"
51681What happens if Harla gets the wrong metal?
51681Why not?
51681Would you like to take a chance that Venus agrees with that statement? 51681 X- ray solid?"
51681You know of any?
51681You''re thinking about a scar or some sort of blemish?
51681Are you not affected by a_ feeling_ that one is better than the other?"
51681But how about Venus?
51681But how long would the cat be permitted to read the king''s mind?"
51681Can you?"
51681Does Harla know carbon?"
51681Does Harla know zinc?"
51681He said,"Confound it, what''s missing?"
51681Is n''t that just the same confounded problem?
51681Lincoln?"
51681May I try?"
51681Now, Teresa--""Yes?"
51681Now, Tom,"he said, addressing me,"how can we tell right from left?"
51681So how can we hope to rescue Holly?"
51681So how does perception work?"
51681Teresa concentrated, then asked,"But why?"
62349And wait around for those big apes to crack the house open over my head? 62349 Ca n''t you see I''m busy?"
62349Do n''t you get it?
62349Heart?
62349Me? 62349 Now?"
62349Question is, Jig, who wants to kill us, and why?
62349What''s eating you, Jig? 62349 Where is it, Sam?"
62349Why should I split with anybody? 62349 Will you come in before you''re too dead?"
62349You had an idea?
62349You want to sit here till we all dry up and blow away?
62349Are you coming, pal, or do I shut this door again?"
62349Beamish cleared his throat and said, rather stiffly,"Gertrude?"
62349Beamish?"
62349But what was your idea?"
62349Did you think Kapper was enough?"
62349Gow, you hear me?
62349He closed his eyes and smiled pleasantly and said, very gently:"Would you be collecting for the feed bill, or the fuel?"
62349He snarled,"How do you expect me to do my act?
62349How is he?"
62349How?"
62349I cursed him and said,"Where''s Shannon?
62349I heard Beamish say, from a great distance,"How about it, Melak?"
62349I oughta....""Do I look like Superman, to carry that big lug?"
62349I said,"Get what back where?"
62349I said,"Will you help me?"
62349I said,"Yeah?
62349I thought-- oh, hell, why does a guy ever do anything?
62349If I had n''t.... Oh, well, what''s a few nightmares among friends?
62349Is one of you Mister Buckhalter Shannon?"
62349Jarin, slow''em down, ca n''t you?"
62349Nobody saw anything, of course?"
62349See that little green light floating there?
62349Shannon said, very softly,"Mother o''God, what are we going to do?"
62349Shannon snarled,"Take off with half my gang stranded here?
62349She''s lonesome, see?
62349Unnerstan''me?
62349We talked a minute, just the things that had to be said, and then I asked,"Anybody have an idea where Quern might be?"
62349What do I do?"
62349What is it?"
62349What''s he been spiking his drinks with?"
62349What''s the trouble?"
62349Why did you have those vapor snakes turned loose on us?
62349Why did you try so hard to butch it, Melak?"
62349Why not?
62349Why should I split with you?"
62349Will you risk it?"
62349Will you try it?"
62349Would you gentlemen permit me to join you?"
62349You think we should back out?"
61826Am I crazy? 61826 Are we-- Where''s Daddy?"
61826But a hot- and- cold engineer would n''t think of a thing like that, I suppose?
61826But where are we?
61826But where, Daddy?
61826But you said''get going''?
61826Confound it, do you think of everything? 61826 Did n''t touch you, eh, Mallory?
61826Did you say engaged? 61826 Dorothy?"
61826Going?
61826Going?
61826Got those bulgers, Mallory? 61826 Guess we''d better turn back, eh, skipper?
61826I wonder if there is not a better way of undermining Earthmen than just crushing them? 61826 I wonder?"
61826Shall we... do it now?
61826Then what can we do, Daddy?
61826Ventilation? 61826 Wh- here are we?"
61826Wh- what do you mean?
61826What have you got against me?
61826What in hell does this mean?
61826What is it, Daddy? 61826 What is it?
61826What trail? 61826 What?
61826Where are we?
61826Wonderful?
61826You are surprised that I speak your language? 61826 A new race to people Venus? 61826 A race combining our ancient, noble blood and that of these pale creatures?
61826And his first word--"Dorothy?"
61826And the pilot''s hectic query,"But where are you?"
61826Anesthetic?
61826Build ice- boxes?"
61826But-- but what caused it?
61826Do you have another gun?
61826Do you see what I see?"
61826Dorothy said,"The-- the ammonia--?"
61826He''s a-- a-- What is it you do?
61826Hit the trail?"
61826Jewels?
61826Mallory, you remember where they were?"
61826Our bulger audios wo n''t operate that far, will they?
61826Shall we go back and try another corridor?"
61826She''s my daughter, is n''t she?
61826Then how do they live?"
61826There''s no time to explain now, but quick!--you have some gun- capsules, have n''t you?"
61826Tim said determinedly,"Then we''d better pack up, eh?
61826What do we do?
61826What do you say, Dorothy?"
61826What is this wild plan?"
61826What''s that?"
61826Why not amuse ourselves by exploring this cave?"
61826You said something about removing your objections to our marriage, remember?"
62316And Tredrick?
62316And betray him to Tredrick? 62316 And if we do n''t?"
62316And now will you for God''s sake go?
62316Do you have to make it harder? 62316 Get the hell on, will you?"
62316How do I know? 62316 How else do you think Romany is going to stay free?
62316How?
62316It would n''t be Campbell?
62316Little people like you, my son?
62316Possibly you mean Eran Mak, the Chief Councillor?
62316Roy Campbell?
62316What did Tredrick tell you to do?
62316What does?
62316What goes on here, anyhow?
62316Why am I sticking my neck out for a bunch of semi- human swamp- crawlers, anyhow?
62316Why not? 62316 Will you get to hell out?"
62316Will you go?
62316With what?
62316Yeah? 62316 Yeah?
62316You think so, buddy?
62316_ Help?_"Yes. 62316 And what becomes of you?
62316Are we all ready?"
62316But what''s the big idea behind this?"
62316Campbell said wearily,"Stella, take the kid, will you?"
62316Campbell said, in pure liquid Venusian,"What is it, Father?"
62316Campbell said,"Cordial guy, are n''t you?
62316Can you crawl to the Coalition like a_ sindar_ for the sake of the bones they throw you?
62316Do you think I want to rot on Phobos in their stinking mines, with shackles on my feet?"
62316Do you understand?"
62316Do you want blood on your hands?"
62316Does Tredrick think we''re children?"
62316Have you forgotten Kesh, and Balakar, and the Wells of Tamboina?
62316He added irritably,"Sister, will you for Pete''s sake get that light out of my eyes?"
62316He said harshly,"You fool, do you think they''ll let you get away with this?
62316He said"_ Tredrick?_"Marah nodded.
62316He said,"What are we waiting for?"
62316How''d you fix the getaway?"
62316It''s hopeless for us, and you are--_hot_ is that the word?"
62316Presently he said,"Could n''t you go further back into the swamps?"
62316Since when have_ latniks_ been called to meddle in Romany''s affairs?"
62316That makes us all pals, does n''t it?"
62316That''s what Romany is, is n''t it-- a refuge for people like that?"
62316The Taxil said, in a low, rapid voice:"You''re not lying about coming from the Kraylens?"
62316The deep, soft voice said,"Who are you?"
62316The old Kraylen murmured,"What happened to those others, my son?"
62316There was an old man''s voice, murmuring,"Little people like you, my son?"
62316What business did a Public Enemy with a low number and a high valuation have mixing into that?
62316What gives here, anyway?
62316What gives with you?"
62316What matter if we die now-- or later?"
62316What''s Tredrick''s angle?"
62316Where''s your place in it?"
62316Who are you and what do you want?"
62316Who are you?"
62316Why Kraylens, of all the unimportant people on Venus?
62316Why do Earthmen have to change everything they lay their hands on?"
62316Why do you wish to land, Mister Black?"
62316Why?"
62316You remember the frontier town of Lhi?"
63516Ai n''t them tears on his face?
63516Are you all right?
63516But if the valley''s flooded, Matt, and those critters take over, where does that leave our people?
63516Can you walk?
63516Did you... is he still alive?
63516Do what?
63516Do you love me, Button?
63516How big are they?
63516How do they do it?
63516How do you do that?
63516How would you fight them if they did get out?
63516How you going to get me through that little bitty hole?
63516If there''s good land up there, and anything happens to you so you ca n''t come back and tell us...."Like not bothering to come back, maybe?
63516Is there a place to stop? 63516 Just with the birds and the growing things?"
63516Love? 63516 Noticed anything about yourself, Rory?
63516Question is, how high is up?
63516Reckon we oughta wake him up?
63516See the way that slopes there? 63516 The branch, you mean?
63516Well?
63516What are we going to do, Matt? 63516 What are you?"
63516What happens when the beasts come?
63516What pass?
63516What''s that got to do with it?
63516What''s the matter, kid? 63516 What''s your name?"
63516Where is the other one; my friend?
63516Why did you save me, Button? 63516 Why do you do that?"
63516Why was he moved? 63516 Yeah?"
63516You are really a beast, then? 63516 *****You are really plants, then?
63516A telepath, huh?"
63516Animal, mineral, or vegetable?"
63516Are they your cousins?"
63516But it''s a little silly if both of us take the risk, is n''t it?"
63516Ca n''t you get hold of somebody to help me carry him?"
63516Can you get me out?"
63516Clear across, see?"
63516Do you understand?"
63516During one rest break McLaren said hoarsely,"Do n''t these cliffs ever end?"
63516Flowers, like those?"
63516Harker said,"For cripesake, what are they?"
63516Harker said,"See what I meant, about the Promised Land?
63516Have we all got a clear conscience?
63516He hoped Sim had died quickly before-- before what?
63516He sat for a while without speaking, looking at nothing, and then said,"Honest to God, Matt, how much longer can we last?"
63516It''s spoiled--"her thought- image was a combination of"broken,""finished,"and"useless"--"Why carry it around?"
63516Like the furry, snarling things that climb up through the pass sometimes?"
63516Like you asked me, when are we going to stop somewhere?
63516McLaren said,"What if this river does n''t come from the surface?
63516McLaren said,"You would n''t care if they did, would you?"
63516Or did he?
63516Remember when we were fighting off those critters by the river and you nearly started a cave- in throwing rocks?
63516Sim said,"Is n''t that light up ahead?"
63516Starting to crack?"
63516Teleportation, telekinetic energy-- what did the books call it?
63516Viki said,"Can we stop here, just a little while?"
63516What do you want of me?"
63516What if it starts from an underground source?"
63516What is that?"
63516When are we going to stop somewhere?"
63516Why you want to do all that climbing, maybe to no place?"
63516You....""But why me?
61696Am I crazy or are you, Irak? 61696 Am I?
61696But how are we to do it, Prince? 61696 But how are you going to approach that close when_ their_ guns are effective at two hundred feet?"
61696But the keys-- how did you get them?
61696But your weapons?
61696But-- this cavern... the machines: what do they mean?
61696Can we do it in forty- five minutes?
61696Do you think we''re unarmed now, with four out of five Venusians owning one of these?
61696Have n''t you done with persecuting us for one night?
61696How do they operate? 61696 How do we move the blessed thing?"
61696How?
61696Irak, you''re telling the truth?
61696Irak-- what the devil are you doing here?
61696Leave our people when they need us most? 61696 Nothing, eh?"
61696Now we''ll have these dirty Venusian rebels where we want them, eh?
61696Planning a trip, were you?
61696Taking your ship out this late?
61696Then you wo n''t go?
61696They knew about me?
61696Well, what now? 61696 Well?"
61696What good will you be to them dead?
61696What miserable errand brings you here?
61696What''s the meaning of this? 61696 What?"
61696Where do you come in?
61696Who would n''t be, after eighteen years of blistering Martian suns? 61696 Who''s going to carry it off?
61696Would that suit you better?
61696Would this be possible? 61696 You admit conspiracy with this rebel?"
61696You mean Arzt has decreed our death?
61696You said-- a fellow_ Venusian_? 61696 And why would they let me hold such a responsible position?
61696Are you deceiving yourself that these damned Venusian dogs are good enough for a Martian officer?"
61696Arzt grunted, puzzled,"You wouldn''t--?
61696But as a favor-- would you mind taking the black cross off my quarters?"
61696But do they receive it?
61696But the joke may backlash....""And you?"
61696But... was the door moving?
61696Ca n''t a man and his daughter call on their friends without being watched like criminals?"
61696Could anyone get that close to it without being caught?"
61696Could that not be arranged too?"
61696Draw on the Martian power station, I suppose?"
61696Had he heard aright?
61696Irak, who could be a more fitting ruler for Venus than the prince we lost and gained again?"
61696Now, you bag of bones--"he roared suddenly,"where is that map?"
61696She said softly:"That was your only reason?"
61696Someone gruffed:"Who is it?
61696Starting from that basis, would you mind explaining your remarks?"
61696The_ radite_ is guarded, is it not?"
61696Were-- were we in time?"
61696What do you want?"
61696What would they think of us if we ran out now?"
61696What''s the matter with you, Lolan?
61696Where are we going?"
61696Who''s got it-- one of you, or Lugo?"
61696Why fight it any longer?
61696Why not, you grinning, ugly little ape?"
61696Why were they needed especially now-- because of a coming revolution?
61696Why?"
62170And Venta?
62170And where is his Midge-- you people-- you have seen little Ort lately?
62170Are you crazy too?
62170Behind me? 62170 But it seems to be easing, do n''t you think?"
62170Curtmann coming?
62170English?
62170Get the idea, Art?
62170Good Lord, how did she jump like that?
62170Has he started from Shan?
62170He-- took her-- Venta--"Who took her?
62170How far is it from here to Shan?
62170I say, is it much further?
62170Is he planning to use that spaceship of his?
62170Midges?
62170No one here ahead of us, Jim?
62170Oh-- I thought-- I thought--"Someone is after you?
62170On the way to Venus?
62170Or are they still around here?
62170So? 62170 That is fortunate, is it not?"
62170The Master- God will order us down now?
62170They''ve left Shan already?
62170We can trust you, even though you are Earthmen?
62170Well, Meeta,he said,"you come with more bad news?"
62170What in the devil?
62170What is it, Rahn?
62170What is it?
62170What is it?
62170What''s that noise?
62170What''s your name?
62170What-- what happened? 62170 Where are the weapons?"
62170Where is Meeta?
62170Where is Venta?
62170Who''s got us?
62170Why not? 62170 You ca n''t fly out into that, Meeta?"
62170You got away with the weapons?
62170A freedom to plan-- what?
62170A girl demented; with painted skin and fancy dress-- trappings of insanity; and she had escaped from some asylum?
62170And Meeta, have you told the Midge to meet us in the broken city?"
62170Are you Curtmann?"
62170But how?
62170But would it?
62170Decadence perhaps, but who shall say but what it is to be preferred to the bloody upward struggles of our own Earth''s history?
62170Did I dare send the Midges down for a general attack?
62170Even then, what could we do?
62170Had Curtmann received news of the Venus weapons?
62170Here?
62170How can we do it, Art?"
62170I did well, Seyla Venta?"
62170Is it not a wonderful future, Venta?
62170Like you, is it not so, Venta?"
62170Negroid?
62170Oriental?
62170This is the fellow who thought he would steal my little Venta?
62170Venta, where are you?"
62170Was Curtmann planning to strike at us now?
62170What I can do to serve?"
62170What of it?
62170What use of that?
62170What?"
62170Where are we?"
62170Where the devil are we?"
62170Why should I be in the battle?
62170Would he wait for old Prytan to organize some attack?
62170Would you believe it?
62170You got a gun?
62170You know now, of course, that I am Master of Venus?
51768And if it is n''t?
51768And where is the center of the aforesaid claim?
51768Are you going to stand there philosophizing,Janie asked,"while your fish are sick?"
51768Are you going to strand me out here?
51768Are you sure?
51768Bank account?
51768Birthday?
51768Bonds? 51768 But some get through, do n''t they?"
51768Can you at least carry a letter for me? 51768 Do you think I feel_ happy_ about it?
51768How can I cut goldenstone? 51768 How''s it out there?"
51768How''s the weather in Venusborg?
51768Huh? 51768 Huh?"
51768I have n''t given you the what?
51768I suppose your account is in order?
51768In time for what?
51768Is n''t there anything I can do?
51768Is that all?
51768Jim Remstaater?
51768May we be of service?
51768Now who could be''porting anything to me?
51768Then why are you here?
51768What are you doing?
51768What are you going to do?
51768What can we do?
51768What did Max Krandall send me?
51768What do you mean?
51768What does the special restricted part mean?
51768What''s that?
51768What''s the matter?
51768What?
51768When?
51768Who in hell is stranding you?
51768With what,asked Mr. Reade,"do you propose to pay?"
51768You ca n''t?
51768You do n''t have the Deed? 51768 You have an emergency telephone, have n''t you?"
51768You recognize it, do n''t you? 51768 You see the traces, Eddie?
51768You wish to file a claim? 51768 You''ve found goldenstone?"
51768A day, two days?
51768A special delivery letter?"
51768A standard unrestricted mining claim?"
51768And how would he be able to raise the fare back to Earth?
51768Anything you can convert into cash?"
51768But how long would Max need to raise some money and send him water and ammunition?
51768But if he turned back, what then?
51768But was it real?
51768But where in all this desolation was the goldenstone?
51768Ca n''t you see it?"
51768Could n''t you wait till morning?"
51768Did n''t I advise you to turn back?
51768Did n''t I warn you?
51768Do you have a sample for me to take back?"
51768Do you see the red and purple markings over there?"
51768Do you think I''d let you die of thirst if I could help it?
51768Do you understand that?"
51768How''s the bus holding out?"
51768Is that all?"
51768It''s irregular, but I daresay we... Where is the money?"
51768Max, what''s today''s date?"
51768Or had it been the day before?
51768Property?
51768Reason I called--""Hey,"Eddie said,"what happened to your face?"
51768Remember?"
51768Sandcar broke down, eh?"
51768See those red and purple flecks?
51768The center?
51768Was there anyone else on Venus he could call?
51768Was there such a thing as the Prospector''s Special?
51768When would he ever see Janie again?
51768Where would we be if we let every prospector wander over the desert while we supplied his water?
51768Where?
51768Why?"
51768Would he live to see that rainbow- hued wonder, tall as a church steeple, wide as a house, more precious than goldenstone itself?
32544A reflection of some Savissan city on the mainland?
32544An''did they get that slinking she- devil of an Olga along with the rest of the carrion?
32544And can they be made invisible like the city?
32544And if I refuse?
32544And just who are you, anyway?
32544And the gas- guns of the Scaly Ones?
32544Anything new?
32544Are you going to take the chance, Chief?
32544But how could they do that?
32544But how did you come to arrive in the garden at this particular moment?
32544But what does your coming mean?
32544But where does she fit into the picture? 32544 Ca n''t we all escape through the swamps and put up a better fight in the hills?"
32544Come in, Slag,he said,"who are these strangers?"
32544Could it be a mirage?
32544Did ye never see a piece of cheese in a mouse- trap?
32544Dimensional control?
32544Do n''t you see the Golden Arrow?
32544Do you trust that man?
32544Does Lansa know of this place?
32544How do I know?
32544I do n''t get what you mean?
32544I saw the tubes on the walls,Gerry said,"but why is it that your mobile forces are armed only with primitive weapons like bows and arrows?"
32544Is there any way we can strike at that raider below?
32544Lansing, too?
32544Meaning your whiskers?
32544Now what do you make of that?
32544Now what the devil...?
32544Now what''s the game?
32544Ready?
32544Run from these snake- skinned devils?
32544Tell me, Mac,Steve Brent interposed,"Now that we''re all about to jump off into the unknown-- just why_ do_ you sport that crop of whiskers?"
32544Then,roared Angus, pounding his big fist on the table till the dishes rattled,"why do n''t you revolt?
32544Think you can tell them how to come?
32544Want to come back to Earth with me, Closana?
32544Want to go ashore, Angus?
32544What are those things that look like giant ray- guns?
32544What are you raving about, Portok?
32544What did?
32544What do you mean?
32544What do you think happened to the city so suddenly?
32544What is it like?
32544What is that?
32544What kind of devilment is this?
32544What kind of power makes these cars go?
32544What place is this?
32544What will happen after they get us there?
32544What''s your name-- if you have one?
32544When are we going to pull out, Chief?
32544When do you think the rest of the Green Folk will come?
32544Whence came ye, strangers in odd clothing who have traveled in a ship like a blue whale? 32544 Where are we?"
32544Where are you taking us?
32544Where do you come from?
32544Where is Rupin- Sang?
32544Where is that? 32544 Who are they, those things you call the Scaly Ones?"
32544Who are you, that come using the name of Sarnak?
32544Who are you?
32544Who sent you?
32544Who''s your yellow- haired friend, Chief?
32544Why do you say that?
32544Why there-- rather than in any other direction?
32544You are puzzled, stranger?
32544You think you''re quite the little tin god, do n''t you?
32544_ Jaro quimtar_--who are you?
32544But, since your science is so far ahead of the other people of Venus, why do n''t you rule the entire planet?"
32544Ca n''t you hear me?
32544Can you hear me?"
32544Do I make myself clear?"
32544Do you think we''ll wake up soon and find ourselves safe back on board the_ Viking_?"
32544Gerry shouted back,"did you really think I''d call the ship into a trap?
32544How could they make the place invisible?
32544How does she get her control over these scaly devils?"
32544Is it one of the lands beyond the Great Sea?"
32544Only-- who was Olga''s confederate who had knocked him over the head when he had walked in on them that time?
32544Ready?
32544U. S. Gov''t Steel Works Atlanta, Ga."How in Heaven''s name did they get that...?"
32544What do we do next?"
32544What do ye seek here in the Outer Isles?"
32544What do you think about the helicopters?"
32544What happened?
32544What''s she like personally?"
32544Whence come ye?"
32544Where are you now?"
32544Where did you go?
32544Who is calling?"
32544Who sent you?"
32544Who were your unpleasant friends here?
32544Why would anybody be sending a secret message when there was no receiving set within millions of miles?
32544he said in a low voice quite unlike his previous whine,"what place do you seek?"
61499Are you crazy? 61499 Are you sure Zeburzac was missing his left hand?"
61499Carlton? 61499 D''you think that''d stop them?
61499Explosion? 61499 Governor?"
61499Have many of us arrived?
61499How are the others doing?
61499How come?
61499How did you do it?
61499How do we rate as your enemies?
61499How do you like that one?
61499How do you now know my name?
61499Into where?
61499Joke? 61499 Me?
61499My loyalty? 61499 Oh, yeah?
61499Oh-- do you know what this Serono Zeburzac looks like?
61499Oh-- rebels? 61499 Old mines?
61499Rebel? 61499 Sure, but how can I get down?"
61499That all, chief? 61499 Tomorrow morning?
61499Wait a minute, how do we get out of here?
61499Well, now what?
61499Well, what are we waiting for? 61499 Well, what do we do now?
61499Well, what do you think?
61499Well, what the dickens does he look like?
61499What are we stopping here for?
61499What do we do? 61499 What do you mean by leading them here?"
61499What do you mean?
61499What do you want?
61499What do you want?
61499What the devil are you doing here?
61499What the devil do you want? 61499 What''s that?"
61499Where are we heading for?
61499Where does that lead to?
61499Where the dickens are we?
61499Where? 61499 Wherethehell''s who?"
61499Who are you?
61499Who are you?
61499Who built it?
61499Who did this to you?
61499Who is it, Max?
61499Who was that crazy coot and what is this place?
61499Who''s here?
61499Why, McHague, my dear friend, you did n''t think I would overlook a simple thing like this?
61499Why? 61499 Yeah, I said rebel, an''where is she?"
61499You did n''t think I was going to leave the ship where Zeburzac could find it, did you?
61499You knew?
61499--he flexed the fingers of his own left hand for emphasis--"and not-- his right?"
61499But now that we''ve made a mess of the old homestead, what do we do?"
61499But-- what made you come to this place?
61499Can we get there?"
61499Can you handle it?"
61499Did you say rebel?"
61499Do you know who could have done it?"
61499Do you want to get us shot?"
61499Gon na quit now?"
61499Have n''t you caused enough blasted trouble already?"
61499Hide here?"
61499How in thunder can you do it?"
61499How is he?"
61499How long have you been in with that bunch?
61499I wonder how the devil they traced us?
61499Is that girl as good- looking as they say she is?"
61499Is there any other way of getting out of this place?"
61499Just stand here?
61499That was just... Pete said... rebel?
61499This Mr. Hanson--""Hanson?
61499Us with one projector against what they''ve got?"
61499Want to go and interview them?"
61499Was she one of the old Venusian family of James?"
61499What about yours?
61499What do you think this revolution is about?"
61499What old mines?"
61499What the devil had that flat- foot been smirking about?
61499What the--""Where is she?"
61499What''s going to happen?"
61499What''s that?"
61499Where can we go?"
61499Where does this corridor lead to?"
61499Where was Zeburzac heading?
61499Where''s a hole to get out through?"
61499Where''s this Five Valleys place?
61499Where''s this ladder?"
61499You do n''t think I was going to have women running around in here, do you?"
61499You do n''t think we have a chance of getting away from here, do you?"
62377After that, we''ll be taken care of?
62377Aladdian warned us against Luhor, remember? 62377 Aladdian,"Mark spoke worriedly,"is n''t it a risk for you to broadcast at all?
62377Aladdian,he said,"do you know much of their plans and what is being done with this new metal?"
62377All through?
62377And I suppose either the ore, or the smelted metal''s being shipped to secret bases on Mars and Venus?
62377And Luhor? 62377 And the system of caverns-- how far does it extend?
62377And then?
62377Are you still a guest? 62377 Around a spaceship?
62377But Aladdian and Mark? 62377 But how?
62377But how? 62377 But this Luhor,"Mark asked,"what is his real status?
62377But what is it all about, Aladdo?
62377But why?
62377Can we? 62377 Did they pick you up at the swamp, too?"
62377Do you suppose, Earthman, any of the other men saw you find it? 62377 Do you think,"he said slowly,"if there were any way out, I would be here?
62377Does this mean we''re actually going to attempt a landing on Vulcan?
62377First,came the Coordinator''s voice,"how are_ you_ to prevent that fiend Luhor from pursuing his course?
62377Have you any concrete knowledge of their plans?
62377How did you get here?
62377How far is that range of hills, Commander?
62377How long since we left Venus?
62377How-- how do you know this?
62377How-- how do you know?
62377How? 62377 How?
62377I suppose they''re mining that metal here?
62377I wonder if it will be safe to arm the men?
62377Metal? 62377 Now I wonder why he wanted to eliminate me?"
62377Out of Paradim?
62377Revolt fanned by Marnik?
62377The hills... are those the hills? 62377 They let you have this?"
62377Vulc? 62377 What are you mumbling about to yourself?"
62377What are you waiting for?
62377What do you ask?
62377What do you care?
62377What is all this? 62377 What was Earth''s Government thinking of?
62377What was it the Commander gave him before we left?
62377What''s that?
62377What''s the purpose behind all this? 62377 What?
62377When do we start?
62377Who''s Vulc?
62377Who''s at the controls?
62377Why does any man want to leave there? 62377 Why were you sent there?"
62377Why?
62377Will... will I be pardoned?
62377With us?
62377You and Commander Cynthia?
62377You had only been there a few months?
62377You know each other?
62377You mean... you''re not in sympathy with their plans? 62377 You wo n''t find_ that_ type of navigation in the''Advanced Principles,''eh, Earthman?"
62377*****"What did you mean by''ambassador of peace,''Carston?"
62377A new alloy?"
62377And I''d go with you, Carston, but how is it possible now?
62377And second, what guarantees will we have that Venus will not build more of the allotropic cruisers to attack?"
62377And the metal?..."
62377And who is that girl?
62377Are n''t those hills practically honeycombed their entire length?
62377But what was that bit of information you received?"
62377Cynthia, I''ve loved you from the very first... did n''t you know?
62377Do you suppose Venus will ever be content now with anything short of war?"
62377Escape?
62377How had this criminal been able to escape the swamp and travel to Callisto, millions of miles away?
62377How much backing can you expect from Venus, Aladdian?"
62377How?
62377I understand that you worked hard there?"
62377It is a small universe after all,"he added, turning to Carston,"eh, Colonel?"
62377It would not be that you seek to gain time for your people to rally to you, now that they know you have escaped the Prison Swamp?
62377Luhor, is this the last one?"
62377Remember Aladdian, the corridors-- a honeycomb of caverns?
62377She left a daughter, about five years old, whom they had named Cynthia... do you follow me?"
62377That you wo n''t serve as a rallying point to sway the masses of Venus?"
62377V"Only twenty- two men, Luhor?"
62377What can we do?"
62377What can you do?"
62377What do you mean,''Princess''?
62377What sort of speed has this Spacer?"
62377Where are they keeping you?
62377Where did you ever dig up_ that_?"
62377Who among you knows how to repair that breach?"
62377Who''s with me?"
62377Why?"
62377Will someone explain?"
62377Would it not mean death, or worse, for them both?"
62377Would n''t he have picked up your beam on the Spacer and heard you?"
62377Yes, you have the formula for the allotropic metal-- but what good is it to you without a source of supply?
62377You Venusian demon-- where have you been?"
62377You have the location of the asteroid-- but do you suppose your fleet can stand against such a mobile fortress as Luhor will make it?
62377You would n''t have believed it possible, eh?
62377You''ve caught someone''s thought vibrations?"
62377Your crime... was it political?"
62377_ Our hills?_"Carston nodded dumbly.
61884And Peters does n''t know that?
61884And maybe he''s trapped down there?
61884And you, Nereid?
61884By air?
61884Did you mention that imbecile worker?
61884Garga, listen,he murmured,"were you ordered to stay here with me, until Tollgamo sends for me?"
61884Get there-- how, Garga? 61884 Meaning what?"
61884Nereid, our boat-- which way?
61884Nereid? 61884 Oh why-- why would they have that in times like these?
61884So the Earthmen are afraid of me? 61884 So you are one of the Earthmen, Jack Allen?"
61884So you talk English? 61884 So?
61884So? 61884 So?
61884So?
61884That big figure in red-- who is that?
61884That is your island?
61884That will not be-- too hard for you?
61884Then what would we do, go to him there?
61884There''s no reason why you should not show me around a bit, is there? 61884 Tollgamo loves Peters''daughter?"
61884What could that mean?
61884What did he mean by things that will happen tonight?
61884What your name?
61884Where is Peters''daughter? 61884 Where is Peters''daughter?"
61884Where''s Jack?
61884Why is that?
61884Will it be upon the city of Arron?
61884You Kent? 61884 You came here to Earth, for help?
61884You did it?
61884You did this?
61884You hear what that worker said? 61884 You see how clever we are?
61884You show weakness?
61884You speak it too? 61884 You think to cause trouble?"
61884You turned loose the gas that killed these people? 61884 You will wait here, Kent?"
61884You''re going to find your father?
61884You-- still alive?
61884You-- well, why would n''t I be startled? 61884 A man? 61884 A tarpon? 61884 Afraid of Borgg, who wants only to amuse people?
61884And he added softly, to her:"So you see Tollgamo has lost?
61884And the Gort woman''s voice:"Where you go, Jack Allen?"
61884And then Allen suddenly gasped,"What the devil is that?
61884Asleep?
61884Because a storm might be coming?
61884But how would he strike?
61884But then what?
61884By air?"
61884Can you swim so far?"
61884Did he mean that his attack upon the Arones would take place tonight?
61884Do n''t you think I am going to like it?"
61884Do you see that Kiosk?
61884Eh?"
61884Get the idea?
61884Had Tollgamo put them to death, in vengeance for our escape from Rhool''s spaceship?
61884Had our tail- stream been discovered?
61884Had she been killed in that attack upon us?
61884Have you seen Nereid?"
61884Heading for Venus?
61884How many men were in them?
61884I called,"Oh Jack-- Jack, where are you?"
61884Is that so?"
61884Maybe you teach me more the English?
61884Nereid?
61884So I am not like Earth- girls?
61884So you know who released that Kent Fanning, and Peters''daughter?"
61884The Earthman?"
61884Then we talk it here, so that these Earthmen may understand?"
61884To Nereid?
61884To Venus?"
61884Tollgamo''s men?
61884Was Tollgamo armed?
61884Was he really unarmed?
61884Was it that?
61884What now?"
61884Where are you taking us?
61884Where is she?"
61884Where is she?"
61884Where was Nereid now?
61884Where was Nereid?
61884Where was Nereid?
61884Who gave you the gas, and the mechanisms to spread it?"
61884Who told you to do it?
61884With Tollgamo so ready to attack us?"
61884Would Leh be able to come here now?
61884Would he try to loose this gas on Arron?
61884Would it eat through?
61884You and I-- alone there, Garga?"
61884You came alone?"
61884You have scientific skill of Earth science?"
61884You hungry?"
61884You think so?"
61884You would join me, and still try to lie to me?"
61978And before you three got here-- any others come from outside? 61978 And you say this has been going on for centuries?"
61978Anyhow-- what''s next on the program?
61978Ca n''t you get any?
61978Can you tell me any more?
61978Do n''t you know what the guy looks like?
61978Do those devils do that all the time? 61978 Feel better now?"
61978Got off early, eh, Hobbs?
61978Got what?
61978Heading for the jungle?
61978Here? 61978 How do you know my name?"
61978How long have you been here?
61978How many Earthmen are there here?
61978How many Swamja?
61978Just that, eh?
61978Lysla-- she all right?
61978Lysla-- what did you say? 61978 Lysla?
61978New?
61978So? 61978 So?"
61978Staying at the Star Palace, eh? 61978 The cliffs?"
61978Their temple?
61978Then there''s no way?
61978They''ve got you out- bluffed already, eh?
61978Think it''ll blast off?
61978Those-- things-- built this?
61978Two hundred slaves.... What weapons do the Swamja have?
61978We''re on Venus?
61978What lies north?
61978What''s that?
61978What''s that?
61978What''s this place?
61978What?
61978Where now?
61978Where to?
61978Where''s Leester?
61978Who is this guy Callahan, anyway?
61978Who the hell are you?
61978Why is that?
61978Why? 61978 Wonder why they had it in the first place?"
61978Yeah?
61978Yeah?
61978You are recovered? 61978 You okay?"
61978Yours, Zeeth?
61978*****"Where now?"
61978A damned slim one--""What?"
61978A door on the left?
61978But am I crazy?
61978But then what?
61978But what could he do?
61978But where am I?
61978But why not?
61978But-- I suppose I ca n''t talk you out of it?"
61978But-- ever heard of the lemmings?
61978Conquer the Swamja?
61978Could n''t he blast up through the dome to freedom?
61978Hobbs?
61978Hobbs?
61978How about Callahan now?"
61978How did you come to get sucked into this?"
61978How should I know?
61978I think--""Callahan?
61978I''ll see you again?"
61978No use--""Dead?
61978One of these three men, apparently, was Callahan-- but which one?
61978Or Sanderson?"
61978Plain cold- blooded murder?"
61978Ready?"
61978Sanderson rumbled,"What the devil are you jabbering about?"
61978Sanderson?
61978See?"
61978So they send out the North- Fever--"*****"_ What?_"Vanning''s face grayed.
61978Suppose Callahan had disguised himself as a Venusian native?
61978Suppose he managed to get into that space- boat?
61978Suppose there was still rocket- fuel in the tanks, and suppose it had n''t deteriorated?
61978That''s right, is n''t it?"
61978The Swamja-- those fish- headed people-- have a secret city here, eh?
61978The fever''s artificial?"
61978They''re intelligent?"
61978Was this all?
61978What am I supposed to do?"
61978What are we waiting for?"
61978What is it?"
61978What of it?"
61978What the devil were the creatures seeing in that pool?
61978When did you boys get here?"
61978Where''s here?"
61978Who the devil do they fight?"
61978Who were his bunk- mates in this cubicle?
61978Why?"
61978You a pilot?"
61978You are strong again?"
61978You expect to arrest your man and ask the Swamja to imprison him for you?"
61978You hear that?
61978Yours, Hobbs?
61978Zeeth?
61978Zeeth?
62137A king''s name, is''t not? 62137 Ambush?"
62137And Cyrano de Bergerac, in France about 1640, writing a tale of a rocket to the moon? 62137 And what,"he asked slowly and quietly,"do you want me to do?"
62137Are you girls fighting over me?
62137But if the sin is pretty sinful?
62137But why have you waited to say these words?
62137Can you make it? 62137 Can you run?"
62137Dam?
62137Danger?
62137Did n''t know I was a fancy Dan, eh?
62137Did not the Skygors help our first fathers, stranger, as now they help you?
62137Disbro,boomed this individual cordially,"You say this is your enemy?
62137Do you remember the old Puritan tales of witches, flying on what seemed like broomsticks?
62137Earth? 62137 Earth?"
62137Egad, what else?
62137Fight?
62137Freedom?
62137Get me a wrench, will you? 62137 Girl?"
62137Had enough?
62137How could I?
62137How did you fly?
62137How do you like it?
62137How else will you find the way, my David? 62137 How,"he demanded of the misty skies,"do I get mixed up with minus quantities like this?
62137I''m in the racket with them, understand?
62137If you refuse to do this slave work, what then?
62137Is he not content with servitude?
62137Is n''t so strange, that?
62137Is n''t the ship leaving?
62137Is this a clockwork town? 62137 Losing your mind, Disbro?"
62137My friends and their captors?
62137New?
62137Planter, how would you like to help me run Venus?
62137Prompt, are n''t you? 62137 Savvy?
62137See what an ape you are, Max?
62137Springs and levers?
62137The Puritan leader who fought and wiped out the English Cavaliers?
62137They got you, too?
62137They stole from you?
62137They''ve been captured by Skygors? 62137 This path-- what is it?
62137Time to hold a sort of recapitulation, is n''t it? 62137 To starve in the jungle?
62137Understand?
62137Until the next ship comes?
62137Wait, young lady,he called,"who are the Skygors, you mentioned and why should they be after us?"
62137What are you drivelling about?
62137What are you driving at?
62137What does this man here?
62137What girl?
62137What now?
62137What now?
62137What then?
62137What''s your name?
62137What,demanded one,"is this?"
62137Whence came he? 62137 Who are you taking, sir?"
62137Who are you?
62137Who asked for air loss?
62137Who knows about this lower atmosphere of Venus?
62137Who was second of you two?
62137Why did you help me?
62137Why should I? 62137 Why--""Why not?"
62137With no message for me?
62137Yes, Disbro?
62137You come from there? 62137 You know opera, Planter?
62137You really think you''ll go through with this idea of grabbing Venus for yourself?
62137You''re Planter, are n''t you? 62137 You''re going to get away from these Skygors?"
62137Your friends?
62137A smaller Skygor?
62137And you?"
62137Art no man?"
62137As in old- fashioned mystery yarns, when the case is solved and the danger done away with?
62137Did you make it?
62137Disbro?"
62137Do n''t you want to live?"
62137Feel you the spell?"
62137Float up here, will you?
62137For slaves?"
62137Have you stopped?"
62137Home to Earth?
62137How many science fiction stories had dealt with such monsters on strange worlds?
62137How many slaves are there here?
62137Human slaves?"
62137Look, we landed safely, did n''t we?
62137Might it not have continents, oceans, mountain ranges, whole genera of strange species, perhaps other civilizations and climates?
62137Observations on Earth will show that, wo n''t they?"
62137Planter spoke at once:"You have many friends here, in slavery?
62137Planter spoke:"Did you see the girl called Mara out there?"
62137Planter?"
62137Steam?"
62137To take home?
62137Was n''t this world as large as his own planet?
62137What if it was completely submerged, a tomb for them?
62137What shall be done to him?"
62137Where''s this swamp- city you mention?"
62137Which way to the controls of the dam?"
62137Who''d have thought that their times could produce a successful flight from planet to planet?"
62137Why not fuel?
62137Your name, friend?"
32161Anything else? 32161 Are you looking for the tongs?
32161Breakfast?
32161But what would we do with the hole it left?
32161Ca n''t you see?
32161Can I help you?
32161Clear?
32161Cobber?
32161Considering it yourself?
32161Did it work?
32161Did n''t you come in half an hour ago?
32161Did you notice the fare to Mars? 32161 Did you notice the pictures they showed us?
32161Do n''t you understand?
32161Do you feel right? 32161 Do you think I''m going to trust myself to that machine?"
32161Do you wish to remain longer?
32161Doumya Filone was the assistant?
32161Have there been others?
32161How do I do that?
32161How''s the patient?
32161I do n''t want specific information, but how can you make robbery pay off these days?
32161I was critical?
32161Is n''t there anything sooner?
32161Is that all?
32161Is that the one that monitors the circuit in my body?
32161Is that why you came to Venus?
32161Is there anything I can do for you?
32161It had to be you, did n''t it?
32161Mind if I look at the setup?
32161Mind telling me? 32161 Mink?"
32161None of my business, except in a professional way, but who do I leave out?
32161Now, who''s got money? 32161 Sales?
32161Sounds good, but have we got him?
32161Thadeus Jadiver, consulting engineer?
32161The other kind is just a cosmetic, is n''t it?
32161Then what did you mean when you said you''d help?
32161Think so?
32161Too much competition?
32161What about the moons of Jupiter?
32161What am I in for?
32161What are those instructions?
32161What can we do? 32161 What do you want?"
32161What good is it?
32161What happened to them?
32161What happened?
32161What happened?
32161What is this bargain?
32161What kind of faces? 32161 What places, for instance?"
32161What''s a combo job?
32161What''s the hurry?
32161What''s this wonderful offer?
32161What?
32161Where are my clothes?
32161Where do you want me to stand?
32161Where is it-- Alpha Centauri?
32161White ducks?
32161Who can you trust? 32161 Why are you here?"
32161Why did n''t you tell me this in the beginning?
32161Why do n''t you leave me alone? 32161 Why do n''t you like robots?
32161Why?
32161Would you have listened when I first contacted you?
32161You designed most of it back on Earth, remember?
32161You played football?
32161You promised, but what can you do?
32161You were?
32161***** Would Jadiver have listened?
32161And do you want anything else?"
32161And the raw material--"Who did choose me?"
32161And was it the police?
32161And you know why the pictures were like that?
32161Are you sure of your equilibrium?"
32161Can I help you?"
32161Can I help you?"
32161Could they see what Jadiver was doing?
32161Did it also sleep when he did?
32161Did it really itch that bad, or was it an unconscious excuse to see the doctor?
32161Did she really expect it to be effective, or did she have something else in mind?
32161Did you stop to think why?"
32161Do you have anything that leaves a face feeling like skin?"
32161How close are we?"
32161How many?"
32161How much of that applied to him, to the body it was concealed in?
32161However, if it was an emergency--?
32161If you go to a doctor good enough to find a gadget that small, what is he?
32161Is there an alarm system which would indicate that something was wrong?"
32161Mars?
32161New or replacement?"
32161Not only how far but also what kind of data did the circuit transmit?
32161Remember?"
32161Shall I make the arrangements?"
32161Shampoo?"
32161She had left the screen for some time-- for what purpose?
32161Soft faces, hard faces, space faces?
32161That''s right, is n''t it?"
32161The purpose?
32161The woman asked doubtfully,"Could you?"
32161Then what?
32161Was she an automaton that reacted in response to a button?
32161Was she calling elsewhere for instructions?
32161What about raccoon?
32161What did anyone use a circuit for?
32161What did they want?
32161What else?
32161When do I begin?"
32161Where do I work?"
32161Who was it?
32161Why not?
32161Why should it be strange I can do the same with humans?"
32161Why should n''t the bodies be beautiful, considering how they''re made?
32161Why?
51203Afraid?
51203And your husband needs an astrogator? 51203 Any news?"
51203Before you decide?
51203But you do n''t think I will, do you?
51203Can you make it to the window?
51203Cargo unloaded? 51203 Children?"
51203Do n''t the authorities object?
51203Does n''t the wind ever stop?
51203How did you know that?
51203How did you learn my name? 51203 How long have I been here?"
51203How much time do I have?
51203I am going to live?
51203I keep you company on your first night in Hoover City,_ n''est- ce- pas_?
51203Is it always like this?
51203Jacob? 51203 Legs okay, fellow?
51203Maggie,he said,"what would Jacob do if he were me?"
51203Makes you think of a Biblical character, does n''t it? 51203 Simon?
51203Tell me, will-- will I be well again? 51203 The man I killed-- did he have a wife?"
51203Then how did you get me here? 51203 Think you can get us back to Juno?"
51203We''re not in Hoover City?
51203What do you think Jacob would do if I did n''t want to go with him?
51203What happens if there_ is_ a crackdown? 51203 What?"
51203Where are we?
51203Where is he?
51203Who is he?
51203Why are n''t you with him now?
51203Why did you save me?
51203Why, Simple Simon, what''s the matter?
51203Why?
51203Why?
51203Yes?
51203Yes?
51203You are better?
51203You are spacemen?
51203You do n''t like the truth, eh, kid? 51203 You like it, do n''t you?"
51203You look for someone,_ senor_?
51203You think the dream of going into space is a boy''s dream, that it ca n''t belong to a man, too?
51203You took care of me?
51203You want to escape-- even now?
51203You wo n''t tell me?
51203You''ll tell me your name?
51203You''re still coming with us?
51203You''re sure?
51203You''re the one who carried me when I was shot?
51203You''re wounded? 51203 _ Coma esta, senor?_"a small voice piped.
51203_ Ich danke, senor._ You know why city is called Hoover City?
51203_ Speken die Deutsch? 51203 A million miles? 51203 All set for the flight home?
51203And I''m still a boy?
51203And were Simple Simon or Jacob''s men following?
51203And what will you do when Space Corps ships officially reach the asteroids?
51203At last she said,"Ready, Ben?"
51203B. I.?
51203But he asked himself, as he had a thousand times,"If I follow Jacob, can I leave the dead man behind?"
51203But how far was the city?
51203But if you had a drug that''d bring a dead man to life, I''d buy and pay with my soul._"It is deal,_ monsieur_?
51203But might not the rumble of atomic engines drown the murmuring dead voice?
51203Could n''t they have played their music on Mars?
51203Da?
51203Desirez- vous d''amour?
51203Do you love freedom so much that you''d kill to help preserve it?_ Fear crawled through his mind on icy legs.
51203Fifty thousand?
51203Five miles?
51203He brought me back?"
51203He thought,_ Damn it, of all the questions, why did I ask that?_ Finally she said,"He had a wife."
51203He thought,_ What are they doing here, these Martians?
51203Her eyes empty and staring, Maggie asked,"How did it happen?"
51203Here, in a smoke- filled room under a metalite dome on a dust- covered world?
51203How could you judge distance through a haze of alien sand?
51203How did this kid know he wanted to sit in the shadows?
51203How did we escape from the Inn?"
51203How far away was it?
51203How good was a Venusian''s vision at night?
51203How great is your immunity from the law?
51203I take you to her,_ si_?"
51203Is that what you mean?"
51203Jacob is--""A man?
51203Might not the vision of alien worlds and infinite spaceways obscure the dead face?
51203No investigation?"
51203Nyet?_"Ben looked down.
51203Okay?"
51203Once, when she caught him gazing at Jacob''s photo, she asked,"Not yet?"
51203Or had they, like me, felt the challenge of new worlds?_ He sobered.
51203Or was it now-- right now-- ripping through the murky Venusian atmosphere above the dome?
51203She came and at once he asked,"Who is the man with the red beard?"
51203Simon found me?
51203Simple Simon stood at the foot of his bed-- and was that a trace of a smile on his reptilian mouth?
51203Take off, will you?"
51203Ten?
51203That''s why you saved me?"
51203The Martian kid, perhaps?
51203They hit you?"
51203Think you''re ready?"
51203Understand?"
51203Want me to go on?"
51203What if he were to be like this always?
51203What is vacuum cleaner,_ monsieur_?"
51203What the hell good is it, jumpin''from planet to planet?"
51203What was it the little big- eared man had said?
51203What would happen to me?
51203What would you do?"
51203Whom could he trust?
51203Why had he taken the compass?
51203Why would renegades give their secrets to the Space Corps?
51203Will I be able to walk?"
51203With never a moment to rest, the pursuit through space felt like a game of hounds and hares... or was it follow the leader?
51203Would the scaly hands find him even now, descending on him from out of the blackness?
51203Would you let me go, knowing these things?
51203Would you let me go?"
51203You know how we operate?"
51203You still here?"
51203You_ were_ looking for him, were n''t you?"
51203Your husband?"
51203_ God_, his brain cried,_ what shall I do?_ Slowly, the dust outside the window settled.
51203_ I''ve made copies for our own ships and for the brass in Hoover City._ Why had he said that?
51203_ Just another second--_ Or would the exits be guarded?
51203_ Why?_"He fought to grasp the meaning of Maggie''s words.
31686Ah-- we''re making very good progress, are n''t we, Pitt?
31686Anything against putting up shelters?
31686Are you also from the Alpha Centauri system, sir?
31686But how can it be mobile?
31686But how can you show us the way to your city if you''re not native to Venus?
31686But how does he happen to understand English? 31686 But is he really hungry?"
31686But why should Mr. Pitt want to kill his officers?
31686But why?
31686But you did expect to settle permanently on Venus, did n''t you?
31686Carl, what are you doing?
31686Did n''t I tell you he was up to no good?
31686Do n''t you have juvenile delinquents on Earth?
31686Do you know the way to your home, Jrann- Pttt?
31686Do you know when the storms usually come, Jrann- Pttt?
31686Do you think I''ll be socially acceptable without them? 31686 Does n''t she know?"
31686From reading my mind, you know what this blaster can do, do n''t you?
31686Have n''t we been kind to you?
31686He''s the commandant, is n''t he? 31686 How did he happen to--""Are we just going to stand here chatting,"Miss Anspacher demanded,"or are we going to do something about this?"
31686How did you get into this situation then?
31686How soon do you think we''ll be at your city at this rate?
31686How will we cook our food, though?
31686I''m not violating a taboo or anything, am I?
31686Just how do you know all this?
31686Leading us on a wild goose chase, were you?
31686May not amount to much, but then you ca n''t tell until you''ve tried, can you?
31686No need to get yourself all worked up over such a mere triviality, is there? 31686 Oh, well, what does time matter to us now?"
31686Oh, what does all that matter now?
31686Oh?
31686Only two kilometers away? 31686 Perhaps you would compel me to come?"
31686See?
31686See?
31686Shall we resume our journey?
31686Since I have no way of telling what our rate is or how far we have gone, how can I tell? 31686 Since she is, in a manner of speaking, a ship, I suppose I assume command again?"
31686Since when was there any fairness in justice?
31686Storms here are bad, eh?
31686Tell me, Greenfield, did you succeed in finding a better spot for the ship? 31686 That''s even farther away than Alpha Centauri, is n''t it?
31686That''s right-- he is a telepath, is n''t he?
31686Then I wo n''t see you for almost two weeks of our time, Jrann- Pttt? 31686 Then we shall have the pleasure of your company until they build another?"
31686Then you know what I expect of you?
31686Thought I''d have the chance to be alone with her now and again and impress her with, with...."Your sterling qualities?
31686Trees that think?
31686We eat beans, do n''t we?
31686We-- you-- haven''t done anything really wrong, so how could they do anything terrible to us? 31686 Well, if he can read our minds, he knows damn well what I''m thinking, anyway, so why be hypocritical about it?"
31686Wha-- what happened?
31686What are we going to do now?
31686What can we do? 31686 What can we do?"
31686What is this, anyway? 31686 What makes you say that?"
31686Why do n''t you come out of that filthy mud?
31686Why not?
31686Why should Monster sacrifice himself for us?
31686Why, he''s just a baby, is n''t he?
31686Will we hear the noise way out here, Carl?
31686Will your people accept us as refugees?
31686You brought her here without telling her?
31686You mean he''s spying out the land for an attack? 31686 You mean you would have let the lizard get away with Miss Anspacher?"
31686You''re planning to put up shelters-- to live outside of the ship?
31686???????
31686???????
31686???????
31686???????
31686???????
31686???????
31686???????
31686And how long can one go on living without tea?"
31686Are you all going to the city?
31686Are you sure you would n''t like to spend the rest of the night in our ship?
31686But I thought we were....__ We have n''t found swamp life pleasant, have we?
31686But did anybody think to look for dry ground?
31686But what will you do with us?"
31686Ca n''t you understand your own language?"
31686Can there be indigenous intelligent life?
31686Correct?"
31686Could n''t you just lash the logs together with the rope and make a-- a thing on which we could float the rest of the way?
31686Did I hear someone say''tea''?"
31686Did you say this direction, Jrann- Pttt?"
31686Do n''t you understand?
31686Do you think I can get a job in a botanical garden or something?
31686How could you deceive us like that?"
31686How could you possibly know what it was?
31686How do your people feel about exogamy?"
31686How was I to know it would last only half an hour?"
31686I do hope you can cook, Pitt?"
31686I would n''t want to make a bad impression at the very start-- or would leaves do?"
31686If you left me behind, I''d have had to bear the brunt of.... Where is Algol?"
31686Is it true that the streets are filled with chlorophyll?
31686May I go with you?
31686Miss Anspacher demanded bluntly,"or will we be captives?"
31686Never heard of a vine doing that before, did you?
31686Or is he a professor?
31686Or was it not so much that she was trying to please him as convince herself?
31686Our friend here killed his guard in a fight over a female prisoner, which was why--""But what happened to the female prisoner?"
31686Perhaps I can give little talks on horticulture to visitors?"
31686The swamp is unfit for settlement.__ But to return voluntarily to captivity?__ Who mentioned anything about captivity?
31686The swamp is unfit for settlement.__ But to return voluntarily to captivity?__ Who mentioned anything about captivity?
31686Were Miss Anspacher and adventure worth it?
31686What are you doing?"
31686What have you done with him?"
31686What would you call me, then, pray tell?"
31686What''s the difference between Alpha Centauri and Sirius anyway?
31686Which fork do we take?"
31686Why damage fine specimens?"
31686You are a fairly intelligent species, are n''t you?"
31686You are in trouble with your rulers because they would not give you the funds, claiming space travel was impossible?"
31686You do see that, do n''t you?"
31686[ Illustration]"I do hope we''re heading the right way,"Professor Bernardi said,_ although who knows what is right and what is wrong any more_?
31686_ But why are we sitting here?
31686_ Do you think there really are cities on this planet, sir?
31686_ How can we compete or even cope with creatures like these?
31686_ In the event that we do decide to return to base, some handsome specimens might serve to offset the lieutenant''s demise.__ Return to base?
31686_ Jrann- Pttt_, the insistent thought came,_ shall I rescue you now_?
31686_ Surely you do n''t intend to lead them back to base?__ Precisely.
31686_ We are n''t really going back home, Jrann- Pttt, are we?
31686_ Who is he to have nerves?
31686_ Why let him know our plans?__ Why, Jrann- Pttt, that sounds just like our own government, does n''t it?__ Yes, it does.
31686_ Why let him know our plans?__ Why, Jrann- Pttt, that sounds just like our own government, does n''t it?__ Yes, it does.
31686_ Why, Dfar- Lll?
31686_ Will we kill them after we''ve disposed of our officers?
31686_ Yes, she is, is n''t she?_ thought the captain, and squeezed her hand.
50702Ai n''t that clickin''the way those critters got of talking?
50702And that is why we are killed on sight?
50702And the tank is broken?
50702Any idea where we are, Rick?
50702Any other orders?
50702Are n''t there any more ledges?
50702Are n''t there plenty of those nuts here for you to live on? 50702 Are you hurt bad, Rick?"
50702Baba,Johnny asked,"how do you know all this?
50702Baba,Johnny clicked in the marva language,"can you get out of here, if you want to?"
50702Baba,he whispered,"do you think it might obey you-- just like the arrow- birds?"
50702Because if you tell anybody our names or anything about us, you know what we''re going to do?
50702But can you hold on? 50702 But did n''t you think these--"the marva gestured at the leopards,"might kill you?"
50702But how can you talk to them?
50702But how in thunder did you get here? 50702 But how?"
50702But the rhinosaurs...."Who''s afraid of an old rhinosaur?
50702But what are_ you_ a- doin''up that tree when you''re supposed to be doin''book work?
50702But what can we do, if they know we were on the rock?
50702But where are you, Johnny?
50702But where''s that meat fruit?
50702But why did they do that?
50702But why do you want our claws and teeth?
50702But why is this?
50702But why--?
50702But why? 50702 But, without it, would everybody starve to death?"
50702Can I play with your monkey?
50702Come on, kid,the low voice came again,"where''s the bear?"
50702Could the leopardess, her cubs, and the arrow- bird come too?
50702Dad,he said slowly,"in order to get that million dollars would you have mother or me"--he paused--"put to sleep?"
50702Did Dad say anything about keeping me away from the rocket landing?
50702Did I have any armor on then?
50702Did n''t Harkness teach you to shoot?
50702Did we make it inside?
50702Did you really think,he asked in a tight, hurt voice,"I would do a thing like that?"
50702Do you remember,Johnny went on,"how I looked when you rescued me from the rhinosaur?"
50702Do you see this? 50702 Do you think I could go see Baba before sleep time, Dad?
50702Do you think he''d be a good target?
50702Do you think you can cut a hole in the bottom of the cage?
50702Do you want him to?
50702Does the rest of the colony think that, too?
50702Golly, Baba, do you really think you can take us up_ there_?
50702Gosh, Baba,Johnny said,"what are we going to do now?"
50702Hear my beautiful new voice?
50702Hey, Baba,Johnny said,"how soon do you think we could take a trip all around the groves?
50702Hey,Ed suddenly shouted,"where''s the monk?"
50702Hi, Jeb-- whatcha doing?
50702How about Trader Harkness?
50702How about you, Baba?
50702How is Baba? 50702 How will we do it?"
50702How''m I going to get on?
50702Hungry for nuts, eh?
50702I mean... well, the colony''s in pretty bad shape, is n''t it?
50702I was n''t hurt, was I?
50702Is she a friend of yours?
50702Is that some kind of rule?
50702Is the righting jack O.K.?
50702It is agreed among us then?
50702Johnny,Baba clicked,"do you want some berries?"
50702Just because you said so?
50702May I talk now?
50702No,he said,"but what about that leopard and the rhinosaur?"
50702Not even Uncle Nathan?
50702Now would you like to see the remainder of our tree?
50702Now, listen, Rick,Johnny whispered earnestly,"I was n''t hurt when I came here, was I?
50702Or maybe some sugar cubes?
50702Remember his threat?
50702Remember when they attacked and killed a lot of colonists?
50702See anything, Barney?
50702That is, if they want to?
50702The leopard cub was that marva cub''s friend- pet- brother-- just as Baba is mine?
50702The million dollars we get for Baba will help out a lot, wo n''t it?
50702Then that''s why the arrow- birds obeyed Baba and me?
50702They leave you alone in here, do n''t they?
50702Think we ought to get Rick, too?
50702Want to kill us, too, you fool?
50702Was that his speech?
50702Well, how were you going to do it?
50702Well, kid, getting cold feet about the monk?
50702Well?
50702Well?
50702What do you mean?
50702What happened, Saunders?
50702What in the name of all the moon devils were you doing out there like that-- stark naked and no armor?
50702What is this money?
50702What''s happening?
50702What''s the matter, Johnny?
50702What''s this thieves- and- traitors business mean?
50702What''s up?
50702What?
50702Where did you get them?
50702Where did you.... How did you...?
50702Where we going?
50702Where''s he going?
50702Where''s the bear?
50702Whew,Johnny said,"does n''t the ledge get wider?"
50702Which way, Baba?
50702Why did you come into the jungle with the marva, Baba?
50702Would you call my father, Jeb, and tell him to come to the gate?
50702Would you sing it again?
50702Would you--?
50702You got any candy, Rick?
50702You have doctors?
50702You know what happened here today, do n''t you, Johnny?
50702You know who I am?
50702You mean obey you?
50702You mean the animals?
50702You mean_ you_ will fix up my friend?
50702You say this young marva friend of yours is named Baba?
50702You, Shorty?
50702And how are you going to get any armor?"
50702Anybody hurt?"
50702Are you hurt?"
50702Did she worry too much?"
50702Did you see Ed knock it out of Shorty''s hand?"
50702Do n''t you understand?"
50702Do you know why?"
50702Do you really think that if your people knew all there is to know about us, they would not come with the fire spitting things?"
50702Do you still want to go up?"
50702Do you think I could sneak one home with us?"
50702Do you understand?
50702Facts About Venus An Afterword for Curious Boys and Girls( As well as Parents, Teachers and Librarians)"Daddy, is this what Venus is really like?"
50702How are the guns?"
50702How''s Mom?
50702I mean, enough to feed you regularly if you lived here all the time?"
50702I''ve had an awful time, and....""You ai n''t seen nothing of the bear?"
50702In the first place, how are you going to make friends with the monkey?
50702Is he all right?"
50702Is it not a good system?"
50702Is n''t he beautiful?"
50702Is n''t that right?"
50702Is that clear?"
50702Maybe Ed told you what I made the monkey do?"
50702O.K.?"
50702Or would they?
50702Please call everybody in the colony, will you?
50702The leopards were taking them some place, but who could know where?
50702The trader turned''em down, but....""Which four hunters?"
50702Then how are you going to_ tell_ him anything?
50702Understand?"
50702Was he going to charge or leave?
50702What friends?"
50702You do understand, do n''t you?"
50702You understand?"
5703And how fast are we going?
5703And what is the purpose of the machines?
5703And-- how would ye like to have me for your emperor?
5703Are they all men?
5703Are we to understand,she demanded of Estra,"that the whole of this planet is as densely populated as we see it?"
5703Are you really in favor of this-- scheme?
5703Are your rivers as large as ours?
5703Aye, my lad,he said tranquilly; and then added, quite as though he knew what my answer must be:"How do ye intend to go about it?"
5703But as for which one-- hast any notion thyself?
5703But surely you have rivalry of some sort?
5703But why have ye come to me, old man? 5703 Ca n''t you see?
5703Can it be that the whole planet is under water?
5703Do either of you fellows see anything GREEN?
5703Do n''t you see?
5703Do n''t you think you could make it clear to us?
5703Do you feel like going on display now?
5703Do you mean to say that those little glass pews have been in use all that time?
5703Do you mean to say,demanded Van Emmon,"that the average Venusian does no walking?"
5703Does the league actually prevent war and promote peace?
5703Dost recall Edam''s vision of the creatures in the air of Jeos?
5703Durok?
5703Edam, my lad,spake the old man,"ye will take the pledge with us?"
5703Edam?
5703Factories?
5703Feel all right?
5703Fit?
5703Get the idea?
5703Has thought of any woman in special, Strokor?
5703Hast ever heard of Edam?
5703Have ye had no practice that ye should trip the old one no better than that?
5703Have you any extra''records,''to be used in case we visit some other nations while we are here?
5703How are you able to get along without aisles? 5703 How do they ever get to their places?"
5703How does this idea fit your theory, Kinney-- that Venus is simply the earth plus several thousand extra generations of civilization?
5703How else can ye explain this thing? 5703 How long is her day?"
5703How under heaven has he been preserved all this time? 5703 I mean, do you suppose that the Mercurians were such short people as that?"
5703I suppose you are all familiar with radium? 5703 If the sun has dried it out enough to produce faults like that, how could animal life exist?"
5703If you have never been discontented, how do you know that you are content?
5703In the air?
5703Is it possible that they''re all asleep?
5703Is this true?
5703No?
5703Now, how knew they that we should come to this spot?
5703Now, tell me; how would ye like to become the emperor''s body- guard?
5703Now, what caused that, Maka? 5703 Now, what do you make of that?"
5703Open this grating at once; and tell me, where is Ave?
5703Say--from Billie--"how long are we to keep on dropping like this?"
5703Say, does n''t Venus remind you of something?
5703See how perfectly round she is? 5703 See that?"
5703See?
5703Skeletons?
5703So it did n''t work?
5703So you have abolished government?
5703Surely ye would not take thine own life?
5703Tell me: hast foretold anything else that has come to pass?
5703The vacuum is what keeps out the cold, is n''t it?
5703Then his day is as long as his year?
5703Then, admitting that much, why should n''t a woman be as independent as she likes? 5703 Think ye that there be a spy among us?"
5703Understand what I mean? 5703 Understand?"
5703Van-- do you like me better this way?
5703What do ye here? 5703 What have ye done, ye trifler?"
5703What is the name of this city?
5703What is this-- an instrument of torture?
5703What means it, Strokor?
5703What means this, ye huge bundle of lies? 5703 What of it?"
5703What was this place, anyhow? 5703 What will it do if it does run?"
5703What''s become of the air?
5703What''s the good, Estra? 5703 Who are ye?"
5703Who is he?
5703Why can not matters remain just as they now are-- and forever?
5703Why is it that we can make out the black portion so easily?
5703Why not? 5703 Why not?"
5703Why,demanded he,"do we see no signs of contention?
5703Wonder if it''s locked?
5703Wonder if these walls were supposed to cut off the view?
5703Wonder what''s up?
5703Wonder why there''s always been so much mystery about Mercury?
5703Ye sit there like a sane man, and tell me ye saw fathers fight for their young?
5703Yes?
5703You have n''t done away with your oceans, too, have you?
5703You have n''t even a congress, then?
5703You mean to give me time to change my clothes? 5703 You mean,"said the doctor slowly,"that they might try to keep us here rather than lose the cube?"
5703You''ve abolished cities, too?
5703A trap?"
5703And as for internal conflict-- why should we ever quarrel, when each of us is assured all that he can possibly want?"
5703And what did it cost?"
5703And why do n''t we see any-- er-- indications?"
5703At first thought it was not true; had I not always made it a point to best my opponent?
5703But Smith had other thoughts:"How long did it take to finish the job?
5703But as for fathers doing the same-- Edam, dost mean to say that ALL creatures on Jeos do this?"
5703But why does n''t the electricity affect the walls themselves?
5703Ca n''t you see that I-- I want you?"
5703Canst bring him to me?
5703Do you still think, friend, we have nothing to interest us?"
5703Especially,"he added, remembering,"considering the air that we found in the room?"
5703Estra sensed the feeling and inquired:"Which of you will do the honors?"
5703Execution, say you?
5703Get the idea?"
5703Hast thou picked thy mate?"
5703Having no rain in your mountains, Estra, where do you get your power?"
5703He asked, eagerly:"Then probably the people became as highly developed as we?"
5703He ca n''t be inhabited, then?"
5703Hear ye?
5703How do you get these duties accomplished, if you have no government to compel your people to do them?"
5703How do you know, if you have no poverty to contrast it with?
5703How do you take care of your increase in population?"
5703How''d it get there?"
5703I thought swiftly and turned on him with a frown:"Mean ye that I am not handsome enough?"
5703If there is no one else with more need for them, who is going to put in a claim, then why not let us have them?"
5703Is it safe to be left alone?"
5703Is there any good reason why I could n''t design a library as well as a man could?"
5703Is this the way to fight like a man?"
5703Just why are you so-- well, extraordinarily self- complacent?"
5703Know ye not that I am the emperor, and that these bars can not stand before me?
5703Mean ye to say, stripling, that there can be a better man than Strokor?"
5703Need I say more?
5703No air, no water, and a baking heat; as the geologist remarked, how could life exist there?
5703Perhaps they were--"He stopped, then added:"What I ca n''t understand is, how did it happen that their affairs came to such an abrupt end?
5703Suppose some flaw should develop-- later on?"
5703That would indicate, then, that Venus has about as much as the earth, would n''t it?"
5703The doctor gently took him up:"''Looked forward to with''--what, Estra?"
5703The doctor, however, spoke thoughtfully:"Perhaps it is superfluous; but-- tell me-- have you done away with injustice, Estra?"
5703Then he snarled angrily:"What means this foolery, Strokor?
5703Think you she is fit for me?"
5703True, it looked it; how could I do him harm without myself suffering?
5703Was I not the fitter man?
5703Was it possible?
5703Was not this ambition?
5703Were they insane to imagine that this man of another world had spoken to them in their own language?
5703What do you think-- is it really safe to put ourselves entirely in their power?"
5703What have ye thought?"
5703What mean ye by tricking us with yon badge of surrender, only to tie our hands with thy magic of Hofe?
5703What more can I ask?"
5703Why are there no waves?"
5703Why have n''t you tried to travel away from your planet?"
5703Why is it that, although you all show a great lack of exercise, and are continually eating, you never appear to be healthy?"
5703Why is this?"
5703Why should they, since there''s neither sun nor rain to protect their heads from?"
5703Why?"
19027--go to my cabin--"Sir?
19027A central meeting place?
19027A connection? 19027 A female what?"
19027A limp, eh?
19027A little fellow?
19027Against?
19027Al Sharkey, eh?
19027All set, Astro?
19027All set?
19027Allow what to happen?
19027And as long as we''re asking questions around here, how about my asking a few? 19027 And have the Solar Guard fleet blast us out of the skies?
19027And there''s no way to escape?
19027And what do Mr. and Mrs. Hill have to do with your scheme?
19027And who, pray, will do the killing?
19027And you disagreed?
19027And you followed the Nationalist movement blindly, doing whatever they told you, without question, is that it?
19027Anyone have any other ideas?
19027Anything new, Major?
19027Are there any specific orders, Commander?
19027Are you from Venus?
19027Are you on an assignment, sir?
19027Are you sure we''re in the right place, Astro?
19027Are you sure?
19027Are you taking us prisoner?
19027Astro, do you know that section of the belt?
19027Be a lot of work here, fixing these things, eh?
19027Because you want to? 19027 Big game?"
19027Blast off?
19027Blasting off?
19027But how could they?
19027But how, sir?
19027But what about my work on the spectrum recorder?
19027But what about our gear?
19027But what do you want with_ me_?
19027But why are you being held prisoners?
19027Corbett?
19027Could n''t you make it closer to the Academy than that, Manning? 19027 Did n''t they consider that they had equal representation in the Solar Alliance Chamber?"
19027Did the blaster do any damage at all?
19027Did you ever find out where it came from?
19027Did you protest to the Solar Guard?
19027Did you recognize any of them?
19027Did you see Major Connel?
19027Did you think it better to have Venusians ruling Venus, instead of belonging to the Solar Alliance?
19027Divisions of what? 19027 Do I have your permission to leave the ship, sir?"
19027Do n''t you know? 19027 Do n''t you recognize me?
19027Do they have a headquarters?
19027Do you have any idea where the base might be?
19027Do you have any kind of light?
19027Do you know anything about the bomb we found on the_ Polaris_ on our trip to Venus?
19027Do you know how to handle this ship alone?
19027Do you know where he''s gone?
19027Do you remember meeting a man from Venus wearing a long red robe?
19027Do you suppose one of the Nationalists planted that bomb on her fin?
19027Do you think they might have Astro?
19027Do you think you''d recognize them again?
19027Do you want those men in your house?
19027Does n''t Spike Freyer own this place?
19027Ever meet anyone that did n''t love that big hick?
19027Everything quiet?
19027Feeling pretty big, are n''t you?
19027For what purpose, Commander?
19027For what purpose?
19027Friend of yours, Agnes?
19027Going hunting?
19027Have a good trip?
19027Have you ever heard of me?
19027Have you figured out how you''re going to land this ship alone and with no radar?
19027Have you spoken to anyone else?
19027Hilmarc?
19027How about releasing the prisoners, taking over a ship, and blasting off?
19027How about that big one over there?
19027How about using the teleceiver in the house?
19027How can you tell?
19027How did they know you were going to investigate them in the first place?
19027How did you know Major Connel was coming here to investigate the Nationalists?
19027How do we know you''re a Solar Guard officer? 19027 How do you feel about it, Connel?"
19027How do you think that ties in with the bomb on the_ Polaris_, sir?
19027How do you think we''re going to get to the jungle belt?
19027How do you think you''re going to get through the Solar Guard fleet that''s standing off above the canyon?
19027How else would I assure myself that the Solar Guard will not harm me unless I take two of their most honored Space Cadets with me?
19027How is it,he said in English,"that you are a native- born Venusian and do not speak the language of your planet?"
19027How little?
19027How long have you been here?
19027How long have you been tied up?
19027How long have you been trailing this one?
19027How long would he last without his jungle suit, sir?
19027How many ships did we lose, sir?
19027How much farther, Astro?
19027How would you get the meat to Venusport?
19027How''re you doing?
19027How''s your back?
19027How--?
19027How?
19027How?
19027Huh? 19027 Huh?"
19027Hunting?
19027I did, huh?
19027I want you to go to the Sweet Water Lakes around New Chicago--"Yes, sir?
19027I wonder how many more there are like him in our organization, Steve?
19027If you''re not happy with the way things are run on Venus, why do n''t you take your beef to the Solar Alliance?
19027In Venusport?
19027Is Mr. Keene around?
19027Is Mr. Sinclair in now?
19027Is Sharkey the real leader of the movement?
19027Is he all right?
19027Is it fixed?
19027Is n''t there anything we can do?
19027Is that an order?
19027Is that true?
19027Is that where you''re keeping Cadet Manning?
19027Is what?
19027It is, but what''s the matter with him? 19027 Joan?
19027Jungle gear?
19027Lactu what?
19027Leader of what? 19027 Leader, huh?"
19027Major Connel,began Commander Walters abruptly,"what do you consider the best possible move for the Solar Guard to make?
19027Me? 19027 Me?"
19027Now will you be so kind as to tell me what this is all about?
19027Oh-- er-- ah-- how do you do, sir?
19027Oh?
19027Others? 19027 Possibly, but why did n''t you join?"
19027Prisoners do n''t make requests,said Drifi, and then added suspiciously,"What is it?"
19027Really? 19027 Roger, are you all right?"
19027Sack in, will you? 19027 Say, remember the time Sinclair barked at me for going near that shack on his place when we first arrived?"
19027Say, what''s the matter with you?
19027Sharkey? 19027 So it was all an act, eh?
19027So you think it was done by a bunch of kids, huh?
19027Space Cadets?
19027Specific information, Major? 19027 Spike, dead?
19027Steve?
19027Tell me, Mr. Sinclair,asked Roger suddenly,"is this the whole plantation?"
19027The caves?
19027Then how do you expect me to prove it?
19027Then what does this list we found in your tunic mean?
19027Then why are you in Space Academy?
19027They never stop, do they, sir?
19027Think I''d better call a Solar Guard patrol ship, sir?
19027Think it''ll be all right, Astro?
19027Think we can do it, Astro?
19027Trouble?
19027Tyranno, eh?
19027Tyranno, eh?
19027Up by the jungle tunnels?
19027Walk?
19027Wanna buy something?
19027We''re on leave, remember? 19027 We?"
19027Well, is it a secret?
19027Well, is there another ship for Venusport today?
19027Well, now that we''ve sweated the old girl through the crisis,asserted Roger,"how''s about us concentrating on our vacation?"
19027Well, what do you think of it, now that you''re here?
19027Well,said Strong,"what nonsense have you three planned for your leave?
19027Well--"Are n''t all your friends in it?
19027Well?
19027Well?
19027Were those our seats, miss?
19027Whaddaya want?
19027What about Roger?
19027What about stores, sir?
19027What about that jet freighter we took away from the Nationalists, sir?
19027What about you, sir?
19027What about yourself?
19027What are we going to do, sir?
19027What are you doing here? 19027 What are you doing here?"
19027What are you doing out here?
19027What are you going to do about it?
19027What are you going to do with us?
19027What are you going to do with us?
19027What are you going to do?
19027What buildings?
19027What caves?
19027What day is it?
19027What did he look like?
19027What did they call you?
19027What do we do?
19027What do you make of the radar?
19027What do you mean?
19027What do you suggest?
19027What do you suppose it is?
19027What do you think, Tom?
19027What do you think, Tom?
19027What do you think?
19027What do you three boys think of the idea?
19027What does that mean?
19027What does that mean?
19027What else has your superior told you to do?
19027What guy?
19027What happened to him?
19027What happened?
19027What happens now, sir?
19027What happens to the second and third and fourth best men?
19027What in the stars--?
19027What is it, sir?
19027What is it?
19027What is this?
19027What kind of a division?
19027What kind of pressure?
19027What kind of slaves?
19027What section of the caves?
19027What time is it?
19027What was that again?
19027What was that, sir?
19027What was that?
19027What was your job before you came here?
19027What would you require to locate the base?
19027What''s down there?
19027What''s going on here? 19027 What''s going to happen to them?"
19027What''s happened, sir?
19027What''s his name?
19027What''s it all about?
19027What''s so unusual about going to Venus?
19027What''s that, sir?
19027What''s the idea of holding a paralo ray on me?
19027What''s the matter with him?
19027What''s the matter with right now?
19027What''s the matter with staying right where we are? 19027 What''s the matter?"
19027What''s the matter?
19027What''s the password?
19027What''s this all about, sir?
19027What''s this all about?
19027What''s up, Sergeant?
19027What-- what is this?
19027What?
19027When do I get out of here?
19027When? 19027 Where and when do I eat?"
19027Where are Corbett and Manning?
19027Where are we going?
19027Where did you see him?
19027Where do we get our safari gear, Astro?
19027Where is your secret base?
19027Where you going hunting?
19027Where''d they go?
19027Where''s Roger?
19027Where''s Spike?
19027Where''s Tom and Roger and Major Connel?
19027Where''s the communicator?
19027Where''s the rest of the fleet?
19027Where''s the sick bay?
19027Where, Corbett? 19027 Where-- where are you going?"
19027Where?
19027Who are they?
19027Who are those men? 19027 Who are you and what are you holding me prisoner for?"
19027Who are you?
19027Who are you?
19027Who are your friends?
19027Who gave you your orders?
19027Who said so?
19027Who told you to forge those orders for priority seats on the_ Venus Lark_?
19027Who told you to intercept this message from Mercury?
19027Who told you to send men to bomb the_ Polaris_?
19027Who''re you going to send?
19027Who''s on duty with you tonight?
19027Why are n''t they here yet?
19027Why are n''t you in the caves then?
19027Why back there?
19027Why did you join?
19027Why is Roger in the hospital?
19027Why is everything so dark?
19027Why is this place deserted?
19027Why not?
19027Why the excitement over a little rain?
19027Why waste time talking?
19027Why would three cadets want to go into that section of the jungle belt?
19027Why?
19027Why?
19027Why?
19027Why?
19027Worried?
19027Would n''t it be better to let me go without any fanfare?
19027Yeah?
19027Yeah?
19027Yellow?
19027Yes, sir--"Before or after your trip into the jungle?
19027Yes, sir?
19027Yes, sir?
19027Yes, sir?
19027You Rex Sinclair?
19027You are not afraid of us, are you?
19027You have a plan?
19027You hear that, fellows?
19027You know what''s going on here, Major?
19027You mean, you''re going to allow yourself to be captured too?
19027You mean,said Astro,"they have underground tunnels all through the jungle?"
19027You think maybe the crew could have mutinied, sir?
19027You think someone might try to steal her, sir?
19027You would n''t be running out on us, would you, Lactu?
19027You''re taking us with you?
19027You? 19027 *****How far do you think we''ve come?"
19027A bunch of little tin soldiers?"
19027And how did you get here?"
19027And more important, who told him that Captain Strong was sending a cab for us?"
19027And you have nothing more to add to the descriptions of the other two, Corbett?"
19027Anybody home?
19027Are you all right?"
19027Are you willing to try?"
19027Astro, did you get the pile ready for the soup wagon?"
19027But why would he want to stop us?
19027CHAPTER 17"What time is it, Astro?"
19027CHAPTER 7"What can I do for you, Officer?"
19027CHAPTER 8"Are you sure they went south, Astro?"
19027Connel turned to the intercom and shouted,"Manning, have n''t you got that circuit through yet?"
19027Do we ask for her assistance, or not?"
19027Do you boys have to go through this all the time?"
19027Do you have your gear?"
19027Do you know them?"
19027Dr. Dale, do you have any comments on the report?"
19027Got it?"
19027Have you seen him?"
19027He looked at the three dour faces and then said,"Would you consider getting a free ride to Venus?"
19027He paused and then growled,"When do I blast off?"
19027Hill?"
19027How about it, Connel?
19027How did you happen to discover the bomb?"
19027How do we know you''re not a spy?"
19027How do you think you''re going to get out of here?"
19027How long have they been in the jungle?"
19027How''s everything going at Space Academy?"
19027Identify someone?
19027If he had taken an oath he does not believe and groveled at our feet?
19027If there was a change, why did n''t you tell us before?"
19027Is n''t it possible that they might have their base well hidden and a small party, such as you suggest, could cover too little ground?"
19027It''s going to be a whale of a fight, is n''t it?"
19027Men?"
19027Now, you wanna buy something or not?"
19027O.K.?"
19027Or just random bits of gossip?"
19027Ready to go, Astro?"
19027Right?"
19027Roger glanced at Tom and said casually,"It would n''t hurt to keep our eyes open for signs of him, would it, sir?"
19027Ships?
19027Sinclair?"
19027Standard Solar Guard equipment....""Where did you get them?"
19027Steve?"
19027Suppose we weaken Earth''s fleet and they attack there?"
19027Tell me honestly, gentlemen, what would you have thought of Astro, a Venusian, if he had acted any differently than he has?
19027Tell me, Astro, do you have any skills?"
19027Tell me, my little space pet, are you engaged for dinner tonight?"
19027Think it can stop a tyranno, Astro?"
19027Think you can walk?"
19027Under the present circumstances, do you think we should undertake a full- scale investigation?
19027What are you going to do with it after you catch it?"
19027What happened?"
19027What is it?"
19027What kind of connection?"
19027What others?"
19027What''s going on?
19027What''s going to happen to them, sir?"
19027What''s the idea of holding me a prisoner?"
19027What?
19027When?"
19027Where are you going?"
19027Where can I find a ray gun?"
19027Where''s Astro and Major Connel?
19027Where?
19027Where?"
19027Who in space are you?
19027Who''s that?"
19027Why do n''t you talk to him?"
19027Why go trooping around in the dark?"
19027Why is he standing there like that?"
19027Will you go to Venus?"
