gether to the airport. Old Grand Master Maragon
would sneer out of the other side of his face when I brought Pheola to
him. He couldn't keep _her_ from PC training. She _had_ it.

"Tell me," I asked her. "Can you always tell what I'm going to do next?"

"I reckon," she said. "If I think hard about it."

"But you can't _control_ what I'm going to do next, can you?" I grinned.

"I wonder," she said. "Never tried, yet."

"Oh, no!" I groaned.

She showed me her buck teeth in a smile. "I figger first you'll have
them straighten my teeth," she said. "You'd like a pretty wife."

"If it's got to be," I said weakly. "That would help. I just wish there
was some way to handle that hysterical sniffle of yours, that's all. But
I guess that's the price you have to pay for that awful load of Psi
power you have."

"Oh, that," she said. "I ought to be over that by tomorrow. I hardly
ever get a cold, darlin' Billy, and when I do, I throw it off in a few
days."

Well, I guess it's a cinch I'm no PC.
