"Doc Savage is a scientific genius, a mental wizard, and as strong as the Bull of Bashan!" snapped Shaster.



"The snowball gets big because it rolls down the hill," Ino reminded.



"Doc Savage is not entirely human. Everybody, almost, has heard about him. His business is righting wrongs, aiding the oppressed, and sort of putting the kibosh on crooked schemes."



"Nature put the hill there," General Ino pointed out.



"Every crook alive, when he hears about Doc Savage, crosses his fingers and hopes the Man of Bronze - they call Savage that sometimes - will not get on his trail."



"A little shove starts the snowball. After that it grows by itself."



"Doc Savage alone is bad enough," groaned Proudman Shaster. "But he also has five assistants. One of them I have personally seen in action. He is a lawyer named Brigadier General Theodore Marley Brooks, and those who are not afraid call him Ham. Not many people call him Ham."



"As I have been saying," said General Ino, "it does not take much to make a big snowball."





"HAM almost got me disbarred once," moaned Shaster. "He is the cleverest lawyer I ever saw. Doc Savage's other aids are equally clever in their lines. One is said to be an engineer, another a chemist, a third an archaeologist, and the fourth an electrical wizard."



"Reputations are like snowballs," declared Ino.



"Doc Savage is the master of any of his aids in his respective line, incredible as it seems, according to reports."



"A big reputation can grow out of a little of nothing," Tno reminded.
