Monk grinned. тАЬIt'll be cool up there, and it's plenty hot here in the city.тАЭ

тАЬJohnny mentioned wanting to go,тАЭ Ham said. тАЬHe is intrigued by the earthquakeless tidal wave.тАЭ

тАЬThen what are we waiting on?тАЭ Monk asked.
THEY took an amphibian plane, got the necessary military clearances for flying in restricted areas and
took off. Ham handled the controls and Monk did the navigating, and spent his spare time heckling Ham.

Monk inquired, тАЬListen, why do you part your hair like that for?тАЭ

тАЬIt looks better,тАЭ Ham said.

тАЬIt wouldn't be because every block has an alley, huh?тАЭ

тАЬYour jokes,тАЭ Ham informed him, тАЬare remarkably stupid.тАЭ

Monk said smugly, тАЬI have to adapt myself to the company I'm in.тАЭ

They went on from there.

William Harper (Johnny) Littlejohn rode back in the cabin and pored over geophysical charts of the
Great Lakes area, using calipers to measure and pencil and paper for figures.

Johnny was a remarkably tall man who was astonishingly thin. Being so thin, he wore his clothes with all
the aplomb of a beanpole against which a sheet had blown. He kept, attached to his left lapel, a monocle
which he had not worn in years, and which he sometimes employed as a magnifying glass.

He was accepted as one of the world's great archaeologists and geologists, although his reputation as a
user of words nobody could understand was almost as extensive.

He got up now and went to the cockpit.

He indicated his map.

тАЬAn unbathycolpian hydrographical euripus,тАЭ he remarked.

Ham winced. Monk made vague gestures of fighting off something, and said, тАЬYes, I think so, too.тАЭ

тАЬYou think what?тАЭ Ham demanded.

тАЬWhatever it was he said.тАЭ

Ham turned to Johnny and said, тАЬLook. Just once would it be asking too much for you to use little
words? Play like this is a vacation or something.тАЭ

тАЬYes, play like you are visiting among the feeble-minded, and have to speak very simply,тАЭ Monk
suggested.

Johnny said, тАЬI wouldn't be far wrong at that.тАЭ
