Summers
fixed
him
with
a
shrewd,
oblique
scrutiny.
There1
was
a
little
tension
in
the
air.
Dale's
amused
laugh
broke
it.
"You
and
I,
Summers,
are'seelng
things
through
a
glass
darkly,
as
the
Good
Book
says.
You
can't
read
my
mind,
and
for

can't

yours.
I
infer
you
are
trying
to
convict
The
Picaroon
of
the
heinous
crime
of
wearing
green-colored
glasses."
"Why
The
Picaroon
in
particular?"
"Because
he
seems
to
be
always
weighing
heavily
on
your
mind."
The
captain
looked
down
at
his
squab
again.
"0ne
of
these
bright
days,"
he
declared
purposefully,
"I'll
put
The
Picaroon
where
he
belongs."
"Really?
It
will
be
a
great
da
in
your
life,
Suirrmera."
"You
bet.
The
greatest
ever."
"I
hope
to
be
present
and
congratulate,

On

"You
will
be
present,"
said
Summers
darkly,
"Uit
you
can
omit
the
congratulations.
You'll
be
in
no
mood
for
them."
"Why,

and

laughed
as

"That's

'
"No

Summers
devoted
himself
with
grim
earnestness
to
his
squab
"It
isn't
very
far
distant."
"Beside,"
Dale
pursued,
"something
tells
me
that
you
will
be
just
