"You let me up, darn you! _I_ didn't say anything." And upon his release he complained that the attack was unprovoked.

"I didn't say anything on earth to even hint you might want to go out and look around to see if anybody in particular had got back to college yet.

Ramsey was now able to attend the Lumen, not with complacence but at least without shuddering over the recollection of his own spectacular first appearance there.

He had made subsequent appearances, far from brilliant yet not disgraceful, and as a spectator, at least, he usually felt rather at his ease in the place.
