Deliberately Farrel pressed another button below his desk-top.

"Oh, you've given it some thought, Doc?" Mary said sweetly. "And what have you decided?"

Mary nodded and got up. "You'll still have to wait, Doc. Why not admit you're licked?"
Ralph got up too, and looked puzzled.
"Wow," he said. "I'm tired."
"Perhaps just coming here," Farrel said, "discharged some of the tension you've been carrying around."
