      CURTIS DELMAN WAS THE LAST to leave the space liner. It was only when the Captain entered that he ceased dictating and put down the microphone. Then, with the clumsy deliberation of the aged, he pressed home the lid of the recorder and turned the key in the lock. There was almost a mile of fine wire in that box—a mile of detailed instruction, compiled over the past four days. For a centenarian, his energy was prodigious.

      Hat in hand, the Captain walked over to the desk. I thought you’d like to know, sir, the rest of the passengers have disembarked. He spoke with deference.

      Good, said Delman. I shan’t delay you more than a few minutes longer.

      Oh, no delay, I assure you, sir, the Captain replied hastily. Only too happy to be of service. The crew asked me to thank you on their behalf, sir, for your great generosity. It was more than—er—generous. Words seemed to fail him.

      I’m afraid so, sir.

      Well, one can’t dodge them on Jupiter. There’s no room to move as it is.

      The Captain laughed sympathetically. No one knew better than himself the limitations of the planet. He’d lived here as a child, grown up
