I read on, but the nature of the plague was not discussed. I turned pages, skipped ahead, and drew a blank. Oh, its an easy language to understand. Simple. Few words, you know. Few tenses, few conjugations. Not that I’m any sort of a language specialist. We have several of them dropping in on us, including the great Professor Reardon, the etymologist. . . . I’m just—well, I’m just a model maker at heart. Not a professional man at all. I started as a child of eight, making a model of the old American Acheson, Topeka and Santa Fe steam railway, as it would have been in the early years of last century. Do you want some, too? the doctor asked. Frenchy stepped up to the group. "Hullo, father," she said in German. "Doyou believe any of that?" said Patrick. —Nowthat, he thought, is something worth striving for. See, Daddy? Monser! "Did he write the contract that bound you to the Hope Patent Department?"
