AS always before, he impressed
them as a man vibrant with en-

paper which, some of them. OBJ

just left his desk to meet them.
Every man facing him sensed to

were trained to get and esti-
mate the force of events, the prob

must be a brave man.
So keen was their appreciation
OF what the thing meant, so accur-
ate their provision of the danger
threatening him, that for a few
seconds nobody put the question
they all wanted to ask.
He bowed slightly again and
asked pleasantly:
