Harl stared down at the small glass of whisky in his hand. Rennis, beside him drank his whisky fast and held out his glass for some more. 'Well', Rennis said, 'where are they,Harl?' Did these telepaths hear us coming and decide to fly off to a nicer planet than Earth? If so, they heard us a long way away-while we were still somewhere near Centauri- because there is a tree out there on that airfield which is forty years old, if not more. Harl drank his whisky.
