It was an evening ceremony, the Big Butte, Wyoming, wedding and well
attended by everyone but projections. There were no more free-moving
projections. Every one in the nation had gathered at Big Butte, in the
middle of Wyoming, for a popularity contest and organizational meeting
organized by Archy and the Archy projections, backed by Full-projection
money. And when they were gathered--the whole fantastic crew of
them--Otto had actuated the gigantic scrambler concealed on the butte
and the insubstantial pageant faded, leaving not a wrack behind.

"You know," said Archy "one thing I've gotta do is find out who
sabotaged me in the first place."
"I guess I can let you know," said June. "I wanted to teach you a
lesson. I had no idea it'd get out of hand--what are you going to do?"
Archy had made a sudden move. "I was going to spank you," he
said, firming his grip on her. "But now I have ahold of you. I'd
rather--well--we _are_ married."
