Caxton
was
finding
that
their
unself
-
conscious
behavior
was
beginning
to
embarrass
him
,
even
in
this
uniquely
relaxed
atmosphere
–
he
wished
that
they
would
either
knock
off
necking
?
or
give
him
an
excuse
to
leave
.
Instead
Mike
went
right
on
cuddling
Jill
with
one
hand
while
keeping
his
other
arm
snug
around
Ben
’
s
waist
?
and
Ben
was
forced
to
admit
that
Jill
encouraged
him
,
rather
than
otherwise
.
Mike
said
very
seriously
,
"
Ben
,
a
night
like
last
night
–
helping
a
group
to
make
the
big
jump
to
Eighth
Circle
–
gets
me
terribly
keyed
up
.
Let
me
tell
you
something
out
of
the
lessons
for
Sixth
,
Ben
.
We
humans
have
something
that
my
former
people
don
’
t
even
dream
of
.
They
can
’
t
.
And
I
can
tell
you
how
precious
it
is
?
how
especially
precious
I
know
it
to
be
,
because
I
have
known
what
it
is
not
to
have
it
.
The
blessing
of
being
male
and
female
.
Man
and
Woman
created
He
them
–
the
greatest
treasure
We
-
Who
-
Are
-
God
ever
invented
.
Right
,
Jill
?
"
"
Beautifully
right
,
Mike
–
and
Ben
knows
it
is
Truth
.
But
make
a
song
for
Dawn
,
too
,
darling
.

Okay
–
"
Ardent
is
our
lovely
Dawn
;
"
Ben
grokked
that
in
her
glance
–
"
She
buys
new
dresses
every
morn
.
"
But
never
shops
for
pants
!
"
Jill
giggled
and
squirmed
.
"
Did
you
tune
her
in
?
"
"
Yes
,
and
she
gave
me
a
big
Bronx
cheer
–
with
a
kiss
behind
it
for
Ben
.
Say
,
isn
’
t
there
anybody
in
the
kitchen
this
morning
?
I
just
remembered
I
haven
’
t
eaten
for
a
couple
of
days
.
Or
years
,
maybe
;
I
’
m
not
sure
"
"
I
think
Ruth
is
,
"
Ben
said
,
untangling
himself
and
standing
up
.
"
I
’
ll
go
see
.
"
"
Duke
can
do
it
.
Hey
,
Duke
!
See
if
you
can
find
somebody
who
’
ll
fix
me
a
stack
of
wheat
cakes
as
tall
as
you
are
and
a
gallon
of
maple
syrup
.

Right
,
Mike
!
"
Duke
called
back
.
Ben
Caxton
hesitated
,
without
an
excuse
to
run
an
errand
.
He
thought
of
a
trumped
-
up
excuse
and
glanced
back
over
his
shoulder
.
"
Jubal
,
"
Caxton
said
earnestly
,
"
I
wouldn
’
t
tell
you
this
part
at
all
if
it
weren
’
t
essential
to
explaining
how
I
feel
about
the
whole
thing
,
why
I
’
m
worried
about
them
–
all
of
them
,
Duke
and
Mike
as
well
as
Jill
and
Mike
’
s
other
victims
,
too
.
By
that
morning
I
was
myself
half
conned
into
thinking
everything
was
all
right
–
weird
as
hell
in
spots
–
but
jolly
.
Mike
himself
had
me
fascinated
,
too
–
his
new
personality
is
pretty
powerful
.
Cocky
and
too
much
supersalesman
?
but
very
compelling
.
Then
he
–
or
both
of
them
–
got
me
rather
embarrassed
,
so
I
took
that
chance
to
get
up
from
the
couch
.
