Warren.
Thanks, Chief, both for the compliment and your

You gave us a demonstration of that, said the
Professor acidly. No, wait, said Helen, arrested by a sudden memory. Ill soon make
you care for me, she said confidently. He broke off, as Newton came out of the
study. Or of a quotation-Methinks the lady doth protest too much? I wouldnt cross

andunbolted the front door. Apparently, Newton shared her impression. Stephen cast a
hunted glance towards the door. Stephen took adeep breath and then thumped his
chest.
Stephen frowned as he realized that he was up
against an acid test.
After that, continued Stephen, I shall probably go

on the front door.
As though she had been listening for her step, the
doorslid open an inch, to reveal.
