One pleasant morning in the autumn, when Rollo was about five years old, he was sitting on the platform, behind his father\'s house, playing. He had a hammer and nails, and some small pieces of board. He was trying to make a box. He hammered and hammered, and presently he dropped his work down and said, fretfully, "O dear me!" "What is the matter, Rollo?" said Jonas,—for it happened that Jonas was going by just then, with a wheelbarrow. "I wish these little boards would not split so. I cannot make my box." "You drive the nails wrong; you put the wedge sides with the grain." "The wedge sides!" said Rollo; "what are the wedge sides,—and the grain? I do not know what you mean." But Jonas went on, trundling his wheelbarrow; though he looked round and told Rollo that he could not stop to explain it to him then. Rollo was discouraged about his box. He thought he would look and see what Jonas was going to do. Jonas trundled the wheelbarrow along, until he came opposite the barn-door, and there he put it down. He went into the barn, and presently came out with an axe. Then he took the sides of the wheelbarrow off, and placed them up against the barn.

It was midnight, Wheeltime, before Morgan returned to his cabin. The last thing he did before turning in was to place the cassette of meteorological data at a carefully haphazard angle next to his computer terminal. A bright blue daylit arc of Earth revolved slowly outside his port. He watched it turn to crescent, then to a burning bow, then to a delicate band of red-filtered colour where the soft afterglow of the Sun scattered through the band of atmosphere. He drew the light thermal cover around his ears and closed his eyes.With a finger on his pulse he inhaled slowly and deeply and as his respiration slowed his pulse rate came down to fifty-five, sank to fifty, hovered, touched forty-five and stayed there. The trick was not so much to persuade Wheeldata that he was asleep as to stay awake. His pulse, respiration, and the airtight door of his cabin filled his consciousness. The Eastern rim of Earth had taken fire before the red indicator winked on the panel next to his door, and he saw the silhouettes of two men as they entered. Morgan closed his eyes. He waited. After half a minute he knew he had to take the risk. He opened his eyes. One man was standing beside the door. The other snapped the cassette into the terminal which wrote up the program identification. Its blue light illumined the face of the operator.’This it?’ Morgan heard him breathe.His colleague moved beside him. ‘Yeah. It’ll do.’Morgan’s feet swung to the floor.‘Let’s go.’ The intruder ejected the cassette into the palm of his hand. Simultaneously a blow to the back of his knees dropped him to a sitting position and Morgan was reaching out to the light switch…
