Well
,
yes
–
but
,
Jubal
,
I
had
in
mind
hot
water
and
soap
.
I
guess
I
’
m
effete
.
"
"
I
’
m
decadent
in
that
respect
,
too
,
Ben
;
I
was
born
in
a
house
with
no
more
plumbing
than
an
igloo
–
and
I
’
ve
no
wish
to
repeat
my
childhood
.
But
I
assume
that
noses
hardened
to
the
stink
of
rotting
blubber
would
not
be
upset
by
unwashed
human
bodies
.
But
nevertheless
,
despite
curious
cuisine
and
pitiful
possessions
,
the
Eskimos
were
invariably
reported
to
have
been
the
happiest
people
on
Earth
.
We
can
never
be
sure
why
they
were
happy
,
but
we
can
be
utterly
certain
that
any
unhappiness
they
did
suffer
was
not
caused
by
sexual
jealousy
.
They
borrowed
and
lent
spouses
,
both
ways
,
both
for
convenience
and
purely
for
fun
–
and
it
did
not
make
them
unhappy
.
"
One
is
tempted
to
ask
:
Who
’
s
looney
?
Mike
and
the
Eskimos
?
Or
the
rest
of
us
?
We
can
’
t
judge
by
the
fact
that
you
and
I
have
no
stomach
for
such
group
sports
–
our
canalized
tastes
are
irrelevant
.

But
take
a
look
at
this
glum
world
around
you
–
then
tell
me
this
:
Did
Mike
’
s
disciples
seem
happier
,
or
unhappier
,
than
other
people
?
"
"
I
talked
to
only
about
a
third
of
them
,
Jubal
?
but
–
yes
,
they
’
re
happy
.
So
happy
they
seem
slap
-
happy
to
me
.
I
don
’
t
trust
it
.
There
’
s
some
catch
in
it
.
"
"
Mmm
?
maybe
you
yourself
were
the
catch
in
it
.
"
"
How
?

I
was
thinking
that
it
was
regrettable
that
your
tastes
have
grown
canalized
so
young
.
There
it
was
,
raining
soup
–
and
you
were
caught
without
a
spoon
.
Even
three
days
of
what
you
were
offered
–
urged
on
you
!
–
would
have
been
something
to
treasure
when
you
reach
my
age
.
And
you
,
you
young
idiot
,
let
jealousy
chase
you
away
!
Believe
me
,
at
your
age
I
would
have
gone
Eskimo
in
a
big
way
,
thankful
that
I
had
been
given
a
free
pass
instead
of
having
to
attend
church
and
study
Martian
to
qualify
.
I
’
m
so
vicariously
vexed
that
my
only
consolation
is
the
sour
one
that
I
know
you
will
live
to
regret
it
.
Age
does
not
bring
wisdom
,
Ben
,
but
it
does
give
perspective
?
and
the
saddest
perspective
of
all
is
to
see
far
,
far
behind
you
,
the
temptations
you
’
ve
passed
up
.
I
have
such
regrets
myself
but
all
of
them
are
as
nothing
to
the
whopper
of
a
regret
I
am
happily
certain
you
will
suffer
.
"
"
Oh
,
for
Pete
’
s
sake
,
quit
rubbing
it
in
!
"
"
Heavens
,
man
!
–
or
are
you
a
mouse
?
I
’
m
not
rubbing
it
in
,
I
am
trying
to
goad
you
into
the
obvious
.
