No--I never saw her again after that time I dumped her on the turf,
but, boys, I sure want to. I only got a quick look, but she reminded
me of that Barbara Leeds girl, six hundred years from now. That lovely
kind with shingled hair and a clean-cut face that looks fresh and
wind-washed--
I keep thinking about her and I keep thinking how easy it would be to
stow out of here on an Earth-bound freighter--change my name--get a
different kind of job. To hell with Groating and to hell with Stability
and to hell with a thousand years from now. I've got to see her
again--soon.
I keep thinking how I've got to see her again.
