"Farewell, Dr. X," Hackworth said. "You will understand that although I 
hold you in the highest personal esteem, I cannot earnestly wish you good 
fortune in your current endeavour." He doffed his hat and bowed low to one 
side, forcing Kidnapper to adjust its stance a bit. Dr. X returned the bow, 
giving Hackworth another look at that coral button on his cap. Hackworth 
spurred Kidnapper on to Shanghai.
