What Did Journeyman Want?

WHAT DID JOURNEYMAN WANT? COULD he possibly want the Cordon to drag Todbaum away? Did he want to warn Todbaum?

Was Journeyman in a panic because he feared Todbaum couldn’t defend himself, or because he feared that he would?

Did Journeyman dream of riding with Todbaum into battle in his impregnable, unlikely machine, the last real machine on planet Earth? If so, would it be alongside or against the Cordon from the south?

Did Journeyman simply want, despite his best interest, to see what would become of Founder’s Park were Todbaum permitted to continue contriving whatever it was he was contriving there, his coffee klatch from hell?

Well, at least Journeyman was certain he didn’t want the attention his outcry had gained him. He took the empty teapot to the Grange kitchen, then hung in the doorway beside Quentin, to try and make himself invisible. Feeling in his pocket for Todbaum’s napkin contract, he discovered it had already been soaked in his palm’s nervous sweat.
