СКАЧАТЬ noticed. You are the ideal man for me—already proven in courage, scientific inclinations, and you’re a trained engineer. What more could I ask? That is, if you’re willing to tolerate a rather muddling old fool like me?”

      “No muddling fool ever invented a thing like the Time-scanner! Besides I want to know more about it—in regard to my intermediate life, I mean. I also want to stand by you as living proof when you explain your theory to the scientists.”

      Royd rubbed his hands. “It’s settled, then. As for your ten thousand pounds, that is yours—for a nerve-racking job well performed. To stand beside me I’ll give you three hundred pounds a week and everything found.”

      Gordon spread his hands and grinned. “What could be fairer than that? That being so, I’d better depart for a moment and see if this village can supply me with some decent clothes and a laboratory smock—”

      “So it begins to appear, which makes it seem that that other date, thirteen years hence, may perhaps be—” Gordon shook his head firmly. “No! I’ll find a way round that in the intervening years, even if I have to go abroad to do it!”

      Royd did not say anything. His whole attitude suggested a fatalistic acceptance of immutable law.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
