"Exactly. If you want to send a wireless message you hitch on to a current, don't you?--or you tap it--or something.

Do you understand, Smithy?"

Smith sat silent and reflective for a while, then:

"You say that her theory is that everybody owns one of those psychic currents?"

"Yes."

"I am on a private psychic current whirling around this globe?"
