He caught up with his +guest at the foot of the stairs.</p> + +<p>"Here, I'll show you the way," +he said.</p> + +<p>"No, I can find it myself, thank +you," the Martian assured him.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p class="cap"><span class="dcap">Something</span> rather final in +the Martian's tone made the +Professor desist, and after watching +his visitor sway up the stairs +with an almost hypnotic softly +jogging movement, he rejoined his +wife in the study, saying wonderingly, +"Who'd have thought it, by +George! Function taboos as strict +as our own!"</p> + +<p>"I'm glad some of your professional +visitors maintain 'em," his +wife said darkly.</p> + +<p>"But this one's from Mars, darling, +and to find out he's—well, +similar in an aspect of his life is +as thrilling as the discovery that +water is burned hydrogen. When +I think of the day not far distant +when I'll put his entries in the +cross-cultural index ..."</p> + +<p>He was still rhapsodizing when +the Professor's Little Son raced in.</p> + +<p>"Pop, the Martian's gone to the +bathroom!"</p> + +<p>"Hush, dear. Manners."</p> + +<p>"Now it's perfectly natural, darling, +that the boy should notice +and be excited. Yes, Son, the Martian's +not so very different from +us."</p> + +<p>"Oh, certainly," the Professor's +Wife said with a trace of bitterness. +"I don't imagine his turquoise +complexion will cause any comment +at all when you bring him to +a faculty reception. They'll just +figure he's had a hard night—and +that he got that baby-elephant +nose sniffing around for assistant +professorships."</p> + +<p>"Really, darling! He probably +thinks of our noses as disagreeably +amputated and paralyzed."</p> + +<p>"Well, anyway, Pop, he's in the +bathroom. I followed him when he +squiggled upstairs."</p> + +<p>"Now, Son, you shouldn't have +done that. He's on a strange planet +and it might make him nervous if +he thought he was being spied on. +We must show him every courtesy. +By George, I can't wait to discuss +these things with Ackerly-Ramsbottom! +When I think of how +much more this encounter has to +give the anthropologist than even +the physicist or astronomer ..."</p> + +<div class="figleft"><img src="images/001.png" width="344" height="500" alt="" title="" /></div> + +<p>He was still going strong on his +second rhapsody when he was interrupted +by another high-speed +entrance. It was the Professor's +Coltish Daughter.</p> + +<p>"Mom, Pop, the Martian's—"</p> + +<p>"Hush, dear. We know."</p> + +<p>The Professor's Coltish Daughter +regained her adolescent poise, +which was considerable. "Well, he's +still in there," she said. "I just +tried the door and it was locked."</p> + +<p>"I'm glad it was!" the Professor +said while his wife added, "Yes, +you can't be sure what—" and +caught herself. "Really, dear, that +was very bad manners."</p> + +<p>"I thought he'd come downstairs +long ago," her daughter explained. +"He's been in there an awfully +long time. It must have been a +half hour ago that I saw him gyre +and gimbal upstairs in that real +gone way he has, with Nosy here +following him." The Professor's +Coltish Daughter was currently +soaking up both jive and <i>Alice</i>.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p class="cap"><span class="dcap">When</span> the Professor checked +his wristwatch, his expression +grew troubled. "By George, he is +taking his time! Though, of course, +we don't know how much time +Martians ... I wonder."</p> + +<p>"I listened for a while, Pop," +his son volunteered. "He was running +the water a lot."</p> + +<p>"Running the water, eh? We +know Mars is a water-starved +planet. I suppose that in the presence +of unlimited water, he might +be seized by a kind of madness +and ... But he seemed so well +adjusted."</p> + +<p>Then his wife spoke, voicing all +their thoughts. Her outlook on life +gave her a naturally sepulchral +voice.</p> + +<p>"<i>What's he doing in there?</i>"</p> + +<p>Twenty minutes and at least as +many fantastic suggestions later, +the Professor glanced again at his +watch and nerved himself for action. +Motioning his family aside, +he mounted the stairs and tiptoed +down the hall.</p> + +<p>He paused only once to shake +his head and mutter under his +breath, "By George, I wish I had +Fenchurch or von Gottschalk here. +They're a shade better than I am +on intercultural contracts, especially +taboo-breakings and affronts ..."</p> + +<p>His family followed him at a +short distance.</p> + +<p>The Professor stopped in front +of the bathroom door. Everything +was quiet as death.</p> + +<p>He listened for a minute and +then rapped measuredly, steadying +his hand by clutching its wrist with +the other. There was a faint splashing, +but no other sound.</p> + +<p>Another minute passed. The +Professor rapped again. Now there +was no response at all. He very +gingerly tried the knob. The door +was still locked.</p> + +<p>When they had retreated to the +stairs, it was the Professor's Wife +who once more voiced their +thoughts. This time her voice carried +overtones of supernatural horror.</p> + +<p>"<i>What's he doing in there?</i>"</p> + +<p>"He may be dead or dying," the +Professor's Coltish Daughter suggested +briskly. "Maybe we ought +to call the Fire Department, like +they did for old Mrs. Frisbee."</p> + +<p>The Professor winced. "I'm +afraid you haven't visualized the +complications, dear," he said gently. +"No one but ourselves knows +that the Martian is on Earth, or +has even the slightest inkling that +interplanetary travel has been +achieved. Whatever we do, it will +have to be on our own. But to +break in on a creature engaged in—well, +we don't know what primal +private activity—is against all anthropological +practice. Still—"</p> + +<p>"Dying's a primal activity," his +daughter said crisply.</p> + +<p>"So's ritual bathing before mass +murder," his wife added.</p> + +<p>"Please! Still, as I was about to +say, we do have the moral duty to +succor him if, as you all too reasonably +suggest, he has been incapacitated +by a germ or virus or, +more likely, by some simple environmental +factor such as Earth's +greater gravity."</p> + +<p>"Tell you what, Pop—I can look +in the bathroom window and see +what he's doing. All I have to do +is crawl out my bedroom window +and along the gutter a little ways. +It's safe as houses."</p> + +<hr /> + +<p class="cap"><span class="dcap">The</span> Professor's question beginning +with, "Son, how do you +know—" died unuttered and he refused +to notice the words his +daughter was voicing silently at +her brother. He glanced at his +wife's sardonically composed face, +thought once more of the Fire Department +and of other and larger +and even more jealous—or would +it be skeptical?—government agencies, +and clutched at the straw offered +him.</p> + +<p>Ten minutes later, he was quite +unnecessarily assisting his son back +through the bedroom window.</p> + +<p>"Gee, Pop, I couldn't see a sign +of him. That's why I took so long. +Hey, Pop, don't look so scared. +He's in there, sure enough. It's +just that the bathtub's under the +window and you have to get real +close up to see into it."</p> + +<p>"The Martian's taking a bath?"</p> + +<p>"Yep. Got it full up and just +the end of his little old schnozzle +sticking out. Your suit, Pop, was +hanging on the door."</p> + +<p>The one word the Professor's +Wife spoke was like a death knell.</p> + +<p>"<i>Drowned!</i>"</p> + +<p>"No, Ma, I don't think so. His +schnozzle was opening and closing +regular like."</p> + +<p>"Maybe he's a shape-changer," +the Professor's Coltish Daughter +said in a burst of evil fantasy. +"Maybe he softens in water and +thins out after a while until he's +like an eel and then he'll go exploring +through the sewer pipes. +Wouldn't it be funny if he went +under the street and knocked on +the stopper from underneath and +crawled into the bathtub with +President Rexford, or Mrs. President +Rexford, or maybe right into +the middle of one of Janey +Rexford's Oh-I'm-so-sexy bubble +baths?"</p> + +<p>"Please!" The Professor put his +hand to his eyebrows and kept +it there, cuddling the elbow in his +other hand.</p> + +<p>"Well, have you thought of +something?" the Professor's Wife +asked him after a bit. "What are +you going to do?"</p> + +<p>The Professor dropped his hand +and blinked his eyes hard and +took a deep breath.</p> + +<p>"Telegraph Fenchurch and Ackerly-Ramsbottom +and then break +in," he said in a resigned voice, +into which, nevertheless, a note of +hope seemed also to have come. +"First, however, I'm going to wait +until morning."</p> + +<p>And he sat down cross-legged in +the hall a few yards from the bathroom +door and folded his arms.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p class="cap"><span class="dcap">So</span> the long vigil commenced.</p> + +<p>The Professor's family shared +it and he offered no objection. +Other and sterner men, he told +himself, might claim to be able +successfully to order their children +to go to bed when there was a +Martian locked in the bathroom, +but he would like to see them +faced with the situation.</p> + +<p>Finally dawn began to seep +from the bedrooms. When the bulb +in the hall had grown quite dim, +the Professor unfolded his arms.</p> + +<p>Just then, there was a loud +splashing in the bathroom. The +Professor's family looked toward +the door. The splashing stopped +and they heard the Martian moving +around. Then the door opened +and the Martian appeared in the +Professor's gray pin-stripe suit. His +mouth curled sharply downward +in a broad alien smile as he saw +the Professor.</p> + +<p>"Good morning!" the Martian +said happily. "I never slept better +in my life, even in my own little +wet bed back on Mars."</p> + +<p>He looked around more closely +and his mouth straightened. "But +where did you all sleep?" he asked. +"Don't tell me you stayed dry all +night! You <i>didn't</i> give up your +only bed to me?"</p> + +<p>His mouth curled upward in +misery. "Oh, dear," he said, "I'm +afraid I've made a mistake somehow. +Yet I don't understand how. +Before I studied you, I didn't +know what your sleeping habits +would be, but that question was +answered for me—in fact, it looked +so reassuringly homelike—when I +saw those brief TV scenes of your +females ready for sleep in their +little tubs. Of course, on Mars, +only the fortunate can always be +sure of sleeping wet, but here, +with your abundance of water, I +thought there would be wet beds +for all."</p> + +<p>He paused. "It's true I had some +doubts last night, wondering if I'd +used the right words and all, but +then when you rapped 'Good night' +to me, I splashed the sentiment +back at you and went to sleep in +a wink. But I'm afraid that somewhere +I've blundered and—"</p> + +<p>"No, no, dear chap," the Professor +managed to say. He had been +waving his hand in a gentle circle +for some time in token that he +wanted to interrupt. "Everything +is quite all right. It's true we +stayed up all night, but please +consider that as a watch—an honor +guard, by George!—which we kept +to indicate our esteem."</p> + +<p class="rgt"><b>—FRITZ LEIBER</b></p> + +<div class="trn"><div class="figt"><a href="images/002-2.jpg"><img src="images/002-1.jpg" width="148" height="200" alt="" title="" /></a></div> + +<p><big><b>Transcriber's Note:</b></big></p> + +<p>This etext was produced from <i>Galaxy Science Fiction</i> December 1957. +Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. +copyright on this publication was renewed.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/29504-h/images/001.png b/29504-h/images/001.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7c790f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/29504-h/images/001.png diff --git a/29504-h/images/002-1.jpg b/29504-h/images/002-1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..add6702 --- /dev/null +++ b/29504-h/images/002-1.jpg diff --git a/29504-h/images/002-2.jpg b/29504-h/images/002-2.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e3ea6b6 --- /dev/null +++ b/29504-h/images/002-2.jpg |
