"That's good news." Mike sat down, pulled Jill's head into his lap, pulled Ben down, put an arm around him, and sighed.  He was dressed as Ben had seen him in the outer meeting, smart tropical business suit, lacking only shoes. "Ben, don't ever take up preaching.  I spend my days and nights rushing from one job to another, telling people why they must never hurry.  I owe you, along with Jill and Jubal, more than anyone else on this planet - yet you've been here since yesterday afternoon and this is the first time I've been able to say hello.  How've you been?  You're looking fit.  In fact Dawn tells me you are fit."
