into the discussion. тАЬWhat about me?тАЭ it demanded angrily.

Old Too-Too Thomas glanced at the clerk and asked, тАЬWho's that one?тАЭ

тАЬThey call him Monk Mayfair,тАЭ the clerk said. тАЬBut he is Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett Mayfair,
one of the world's most able chemists.тАЭ
Inside, the voice of Monk repeated, тАЬWhat about me?тАЭ

тАЬNo.тАЭ

тАЬWhy not?тАЭ

тАЬLet a chemist of your ability waste your time packing a rifle? Anyway, you're a Doc Savage aide.тАЭ

A fourth voice, a cultured Harvard voice, said, тАЬI take it you are going to include me in this ridiculous
refusal?тАЭ

тАЬWe are and we have!тАЭ

Outside, old Too-Too Thomas looked questioningly at the clerk.

тАЬThat one,тАЭ said the clerk, тАЬis Brigadier General Theodore Marley Ham Brooks, a lawyer.тАЭ

Inside the office, Doc Savage said loudly, тАЬThis quarrel over whether we see action has been going on
since the war began.тАЭ

тАЬThat's right,тАЭ said the head man.

тАЬAnd the answer is still no?тАЭ

тАЬIt's still no.тАЭ

тАЬWe're disgusted.тАЭ

тАЬIf it's action you want,тАЭ the head man said, тАЬyou get plenty of it the way things are.тАЭ

Monk Mayfair said, тАЬThat's no argumentтАФтАЭ

тАЬHow many times,тАЭ demanded the other, тАЬwere you shot at in the past six months?тАЭ

тАЬNot over a dozen times,тАЭ Monk said. тАЬWhat has thatтАФтАЭ

тАЬMore than half the soldiers in the army never hear an enemy gun explode!тАЭ yelled the head man.

Doc Savage, in a quieter voice, said, тАЬCome on, fellows. We're wasting breath.тАЭ

They walked out of the inner office and old Too-Too Thomas stared at them in astonishment. He was
impressed.

тАЬThey look even more capable than they talked,тАЭ he said.
