The U.N. man looked flabbergasted and not a little desperate.
“It will take you quite some time,” Henry pointed out, “to find another telepath—leastwise one who can talk to these people here.”
The U.N. man looked as if he were strangling. “I doubt,” he said, “there’s another one on Earth.”
“Well, all right,” said Beasly, brutally, “let’s make up our minds. I ain’t standing here all day.”
“All right!” cried the U.N. man. “You two go ahead. Please, will you go ahead? This is a chance we can’t let slip through our fingers. Is there anything you want? Anything I can do for you?”
“Yes, there is,” said Taine. “There’ll be the boys from Washington and bigwigs from other countries. Just keep them off my back.”
“I’ll explain most carefully to everyone. There’ll be no interference.”
“And I need that chemist and someone who’ll know about the saddles. And I need them quick. I can stall these boys a little longer, but not for too much longer.”
“Anyone you need,” said the U.N. man. “Anyone at all. I’ll have them here in hours. And in a day or two there’ll be a pool of experts waiting for whenever you may need them—on a moment’s notice.”
“Sir,” said Henry, unctuously, “that’s most co-operative. Both Hiram and I appreciate it greatly. And now, since this is settled, I understand that there are reporters waiting. They’ll be interested in your statement.”
The U.N. man, it seemed, didn’t have it in him to protest. He and Henry went tramping up the stairs.
Taine turned around and looked out across the desert.
“It’s a big front yard,” he said.
