the amount of pressure difference between the two

his organization and with a world where life outside was impossible,
Slovetski's power was finished.
I turned to Zorchi. "The men who broke in will be going crazy soon,"
I told him. "While Rena finds the paging system and reassures them
they'll all be treated in the reception room, how about getting
Lawton to locate and revive a couple of the doctors you know and
trust?"

Rena came back from the paging system, and Zorchi prodded
Lawton with the gun, heading him toward the files that would show
the location of the doctors. Gogarty stood up doubtfully, but I shook
my head. Zorchi was able to handle a man of Lawton's type, even
without full use of his legs, and I couldn't trust Gogarty yet.
"You can give me a hand with Defoe, Sam," I suggested. "We'd
better strap him down first."
Gogarty nodded, and then suddenly let out a shocked cry, and was
cringing back!
In the split second when both Rena and I had looked away, Defoe
had whipped out an automatic and was now covering us, his teeth
exposed in a taut smile. "Never underestimate an opponent,
Thomas," he said. "And never believe what he says. You should have
searched me, you know."
The gun was centered on Rena and he waited, as if expecting me to
make some move. All I could do was stand there, cursing myself. I'd
thought of everything—except the obvious!
Defoe backed toward the door and slipped around it, drawing its
heavy weight slowly shut until only a crack showed. Then he
laughed. "Give my love to Millen," he said, and laughed softly.
I jumped for the door, but his feet were already moving out of the
passage. The door began opening again, but I knew it was too late.
Then, it was open. And amazingly, Defoe stood not ten feet away.
At the other end of the passage, a ragged bloody figure was
standing, swaying slowly from side to side, holding a rifle. I took a
second look to recognize Nikolas Slovetski. He was moving slowly
toward Defoe. And now Defoe jerked back and began frantically
digging for the automatic he must have pocketed.
Slovetski leaped, tossing the gun aside in a way that indicated it
must have been empty. A bullet from Defoe's automatic caught his
shoulder in mid-leap, but it couldn't stop him. He crashed squarely
on Defoe, swinging a knife as the other went down. It missed,
ringing against the hard floor.
I'd come unfrozen by then. I kicked the knife aside and grabbed the
gun from Defoe's hands. Slovetski lay limp on him, and I rolled the
smaller man aside.

Defoe was out cold from the blow of his head hitting the floor.
Gogarty had come out behind me and now began binding him up.
He opened his eyes slowly, blinked, and tried to grin as he stared at
the bonds. He swung his head to the figure on the floor beside him.
"Shall we go quietly, Nikolas?" he asked, as Gogarty picked him up
and carried him back to the private vault.
But his sarcasm was wasted on Slovetski. The man must have been
dying as he stumbled and groped his way toward the place where he
knew Defoe must be. And the bullet in the shoulder had finished
him. Rena bent over him, a faint sob on her lips.
Surprisingly, he fought his way back to consciousness, staring up at
her. "Rena," he said weakly. "Benedetto! I loved him. I—" Then his
head rolled toward me. "At least, I lived to die in a revolution,
Thomas. Dirty business, revolution. When in the course of human
events, it becomes—"
He died before he could finish. I went looking for Lawton, to make
sure Defoe was suspended at once. He'd be the last political
suspendee, if I had anything to do with it, but there would be a
certain pleasure in watching Lawton do the job.

XIX

The doors of the reception hall were closed again, but there was no
lock now. One of the two doctors whom Zorchi had trusted was
there now, waiting for the stragglers who came in slowly as a result
of our broadcast. We couldn't reach them all, of course, but some
could be saved. The men who had fought with us were treated and
suspended. Even the boy and his dog had finally reached us and
been put away.
In the main room of the executive vault, Carmody was waiting for
Rena and me as we came in, haggard from lack of sleep, but
somehow younger-looking than he had been since we had first
revived him.
He stood up, managing a tired smile. "The first work's done, Tom,"
he said. "It wasn't too hard, once they learned Defoe was
suspended; a lot of the others were afraid of him, I guess. So far,
I've only contacted the ones I can trust, but it's a beginning. I've
gotten tapes of their delegation of authority to you as acting
assistant Chief Underwriter. I guess the factor that influenced them
most was your willingness to give up all hopes of suspension for the
emergency. And having Zorchi was a help, too—one man like him is
worth an army now. I'll introduce you tomorrow."
He stumbled out, heading toward the sleeping quarters.
Well, I had the chance I'd wanted. And I had his promise to put off
suspension until things were running properly. With time to develop
a small staff, and with a chance to begin the work of locating the
men to study the problems that had to be solved, I couldn't ask for
much more.
Zorchi grinned at me. "Emperor Weels!" he mocked.
I grinned back. "If you ever say that seriously, Luigi, I want you to
say it with a bullet through my brain. I've seen enough cases of
power corrupting."

For a second, he studied me. "If that day should come, then there
shall be the bullet. But now, even I must sleep," he said.
Then he glanced at Rena. "I have left orders that a priest should be
wakened."
She colored faintly.
"You'll be best man, I suppose?" I asked.
This time, even his beard couldn't conceal his amusement. "Is Zorchi
not always the best man?" he asked as he left us alone.
I stared at the vault that would be my home for the next twenty-five
or fifty years—until I was an old man, and the rest of the world was
ready to be awakened. "It's a lousy place to spend a honeymoon," I
told Rena.
She leaned against me. "But perhaps a good place to bring up
children," she said. "A place to teach them that their children will
have a good world, Tom. That's all a woman ever wants, I guess."
I drew her to me. It was a good way to think of the future, whatever
happened. And it would be a better world, where the virtues of the
Company could be used.
Probably it wouldn't be perfect.
Even the best form of government all the experts could devise
couldn't offer a permanent solution. But it could give men a chance
to fight their way to a still better world.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for


the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3,
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the
Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a
Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH
1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK
OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL
NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF
YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving
it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or
entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide
a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied


warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation,
anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in

following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or
any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission


of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About


Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
