Yanar standing in the control room manipulating the shadow puppet. He rejected the notion. The man’s reactions under questioning, both inward and outward, had been on a provincial level. The Follower was a great man. The question of how the Follower did what he did was not something about which he could make up his mind on the available evidence. But it was just as well to clear away the assumptions of people who didn’t really know the truth. Gosseyn waited. A mental finger in his brain quivered on a nerve trigger that would bring the power from the forty thousand kilowatt dynamo in the Follower’s Retreat across the gap of space, and straight into the shadow stuff.

There was pride in his tone, but it was a bedraggled variety. A lock of his iron-gray hair had sagged over one temple. He looked like anything but a nobleman of Yalerta. Gosseyn did not comment on the boast. He had his man on the run, and that was what counted. ’ said Gosseyn. He paused, but only for a moment. His mind jumped ahead to other aspects of the situation. In quick succession he rapped out a dozen vital questions. The moment he had his facts he similarized the both of them into the control room, and stood over the trembling Yanar while he produced maps, and showed the wide circular course the ship had been following round and round the Follower’s island, at a radius of a hundred miles.

There was the beginning of purpose in Gosseyn now, a half determination to test the strength of the other. Test it now. But first, as much information as he could get. ’ he temporized. ‘I predict unqualified victory for Enro in three months,’ was the reply. Gosseyn hid his shock. ’ The pause, then, was so slight that Gosseyn wondered afterwards if it had occurred, or if he imagined it. ‘I do,’ was the firm reply. He couldn’t accept that, since it failed to take his extra brain into account. The strong possibility that he was being lied to made him sardonic again.
