Gedge continued to think. "The words he used were that I give away the Show and that, from several sources, it has come round to Them."
"As of course a baby would have known!" And then as her husband said nothing: "Were those the words he used?"
"Absolutely. He couldn't have used better ones."
"Did he call it," Mrs. Gedge inquired, "the 'Show'?"
"Of course he did. The Biggest on Earth."
She winced, looking at him hard—she wondered, but only for a moment. "Well, it is."
"Then it's something," Gedge went on, "to have given that away. But," he added, "I've taken it back."
"You mean you've been convinced?"
"I mean I've been scared."
"At last, at last!" she gratefully breathed.
