Think
,
Jill
.
By
our
laws
,
Smith
is
a
sovereign
nation
in
himself
-
and
sole
owner
of
the
planet
Mars
.
"
Jill
looked
round
-
eyed
.
"
I
’
ve
certainly
had
too
many
martinis
Ben
.
I
would
swear
that
you
said
that
that
patient
owns
the
planet
Mars
.
"
"
He
does
.
He
maintained
occupation
of
it
,
unassisted
,
for
the
required
length
of
time
.
Smith
is
the
planet
Mars
-
King
,
President
,
sole
civic
body
,
what
you
will
.
If
the
skipper
of
the
Champion
had
not
left
colonists
behind
,
Smith
’
s
tenure
might
have
failed
.
But
he
did
,
and
that
continues
occupation
even
though
Smith
came
to
Earth
.
But
Smith
doesn
’
t
have
to
split
with
them
;
they
are
mere
immigrants
until
he
grants
them
Martian
citizenship
.
"
"
Fantastic
!
"
"
It
surely
is
.
Also
it
’
s
legal
.
Honey
,
do
you
now
see
why
so
many
people
are
interested
in
who
Smith
is
and
where
he
came
from
?
And
why
the
administration
is
so
damned
anxious
to
keep
him
under
a
rug
?
What
they
are
doing
isn
’
t
even
vaguely
legal
.
Smith
is
also
a
citizen
of
the
United
States
and
of
the
Federation
,
by
derivation
-
dual
citizenship
with
no
conflict
.
It
’
s
illegal
to
hold
a
citizen
,
even
a
convicted
criminal
,
incommunicado
anywhere
in
the
Federation
;
that
’
s
one
of
the
things
we
settled
in
World
War
Three
.
But
I
doubt
if
Smith
knows
his
rights
.
Also
,
it
has
been
considered
an
unfriendly
act
all
through
history
to
lock
up
a
visiting
friendly
monarch
-
which
is
what
he
is
-
and
not
to
let
him
see
people
,
especially
the
press
,
meaning
me
.
You
still
won
’
t
sneak
me
in
as
a
thumbfingered
electrician
?
"
"
Huh
?
You
’
ve
got
me
worse
scared
than
ever
.
Ben
,
if
they
had
caught
me
this
morning
,
what
do
you
think
they
would
have
done
to
me
?
"
"
Mmm
"
What
can
they
do
?
"
"
Well
,
he
might
just
happen
to
die
-
from
gee
-
fatigue
,
say
.
That
would
be
a
fine
out
for
the
administration
.
