Renny got on the plane.
He found that he shared his seat with the little brown one-eyed imp.

The plane rolled to the other end of the runway, the pilot tested the motors, then they took off. Renny
was an expert pilot, with several hundred hours in heavy transport ships, and he liked the way the pilot
handled this craft. The pilot was good.

Renny settled back to relax. The plane climbed, then flew westward smoothly.

The performance of the plane was soothing. Renny, having nothing else to do, decided to practice a
method of relaxing which he had seen Doc Savage use. Renny wasn't sure of the exact procedure, but it
seemed to consist of consciously relaxing each part of the body, then keeping the mind on something
soothing and sleepy so that the muscles wouldn't tighten up again. He tried it for a while. By gosh, it
seemed to work!



THE one-eyed little imp now spoke.

тАЬStupid,тАЭ he said.

тАЬEh?тАЭ said Renny, opening one eye.

тАЬIs that yoga you are trying?тАЭ

тАЬI don't know what it is,тАЭ Renny said. тАЬWhy?тАЭ

тАЬYou do it stupidly.тАЭ

тАЬNobody asked you for advice,тАЭ Renny said, and closed his eyes and prepared to resume his relaxing.

But the little imp wasn't discouraged. In fact, he was indignant. He seemed to be insulted. Renny had
intended to offend him just enoughтАФif the fellow wanted to be offendedтАФthat the man would shut up.
But the little man was too insulted to become silent.

тАЬYou stupid idiot!тАЭ he said to Renny.

тАЬThat,тАЭ said Renny, тАЬis three times you've flipped that word stupid around. The fourth time might get you
a skinned nose.тАЭ

The little man pointed a finger at Renny with great indignation. тАЬYou are attempting the diversion of the
senses from the external world and the concentration of thought within.тАЭ

тАЬEh?тАЭ

тАЬYou,тАЭ said the little imp, тАЬare as clumsy as a cow at it.тАЭ

тАЬYeah? Maybe you could do better!тАЭ
