this goes on notwithstanding. I repair to the enchanted house, where there are lights, chattering, music, flowers, officers (I am sorry to see), and the eldest Miss Larkins, a blaze of beauty. She is dressed in blue, with blue flowers in her hair - forget-me-nots - as if SHE had any need to wear forget-me-nots. It is the first really grown-up party that I have ever been invited to, and I am a little uncomfortable; for I appear not to belong to anybody, and nobody appears to have anything to say to me, except Mr. Larkins, who asks me how my schoolfellows are,
oil paintingwhich he needn't do, as I have not come there to be insulted. ¡¡¡¡But after I have stood in the doorway for some time, and feasted my eyes upon the goddess of my heart, she approaches me - she, the eldest Miss Larkins! - and asks me pleasantly, if I dance? ¡¡¡¡I stammer, with a bow, 'With you, Miss Larkins.' ¡¡¡¡'With no one else?' inquires Miss Larkins. ¡¡¡¡'I should have no pleasure in dancing with anyone else.'

where. Several times I collided against hard objects, once striking my right knee a terrible blow. Then the flood seemed suddenly to subside, and I was breathing the good air again. I had been swept against the galley and around the steerage companionway from the weather side into the lee scuppers. The pain from my hurt knee was agonizing. I could not put my weight on it, or at least I thought I could not put my weight on it; and I felt sure the leg was broken. But the cook was after me, shouting through the lee galley door: ¡¡¡¡''Ere, you! Don't tyke all night about it! Where's the pot? Lost overboard? Serve you bloody well right if yer neck was broke!' ¡¡¡¡I managed to struggle to my feet. The great teapot was still in my hand. I limped to the galley and handed it to him. But he was consuming with indignation, real or feigned. ¡¡¡¡'Gawd blime me if you ayn't a slob. Wot're you good for, anyw'y, I'd like to know. Eh? Wot're you good for, anyw'y? Cawn't even carry a b

"Check, Red Leader," came the other's reply. "We're going to cross theirequatorial axis and try to draw their main fire. May the force be with you." From the approaching swarm, two squads of fighters broke clear. The X-wingships dove directly for the bulge of the station, far below, while the Y-ships curveddown and northward over its surface. Within the station, alarm sirens began a mournful, clangorous wail as slow-to-react personnel realized that the impregnable fortress was actually under organizedattack. Admiral Motti and his tacticians had expected the rebel's resistance to becentered around a massive defense of the moon itself. They were completelyunprepared for an offensive response consisting of dozens of tiny snub ships. Imperial efficiency was in the process of compensating for this strategicoversight. Soldiers scrambled to man enormous defensive-weapons emplacements.Servodrivers thrummed as powerful motors aligned the huge devices for firing.Soon a web of annihilation began to develop the station as energy weapons, electricalbolts, and explosive solids ripped out at the oncoming rebel craft.

force of the twin blast tumbled Threepio into the shredded cables, where a dozendifferent currents turned him into a jerking, twisting display. Strange sensations coursed through his metal nerve-ends. They caused no pain,only confusion. Every time he moved and tried to free himself there was anotherviolent crackling as a fresh cluster of componentry broke. The noise and man-madelightning remained constant around him as the battle continued to rage. Smoke began to fill the corridor. Artoo Detoo bustled about trying to help freehis friend. The little robot evidenced a phlegmatic indifference to the raveningenergies filling the passageway. He was built so low that most of the beams passedover him anyhow. "Help!" Threepio yelled, suddenly frightened at a new message from aninternal sensor. "I think something is melting. Free my left leg—the trouble's nearthe pelvic servomotor." Typically, his tone turned abruptly from pleading to berating. "This is all your fault!" he shouted angrily. "I should have known better than totrust the logic of a half-sized thermocapsulary dehousing assister. I don't know whyyou insisted we leave our assigned stations to come down this stupid access corridor.Not that it matters now. The whole ship must be—" Artoo Detoo cut him off inmidspeech with some angry beepings and hoots of his own, though he continued tocut and pull with precision at the tangled high-voltage cables.
