“I was going to ask you the very same question1

girl,’ the woman replied in a stern voice. “I thought the wind had blown the door open but I see he has a snooper going through his possessions. A thief on Treaty Island itself! Disgraceful! Give me your name this instant and your business here.”

“Please, Madam Dupuis,’ for Kelly recognized her, “I’m not stealing anything. I’m Kelly Solinari of First Hayuman Village and I’m trying to help Todd Reeve.” “In the Controller’s bedroom?” Madam Dupuis’s eyebrows rose in amused query. “He doesn’t like Hayumans, you know.

“Don’t I just!” Sensing a sympathetic relaxation of the Councillor’s disapproval1 Kelly decided the truth would do her more good than any invention.

So she summarized her illegal return to Earth and approaching Inspector DeVeer for assistance, and how she had overheard mention of a very special document box from Hrruba anxiously awaited the Treaty Controller. “We’ve got Todd and Hrriss cleared of one charge,’ and Madam Dupuis nodded, so Kelly didn’t bother to explain other matters of which the Councillor would have more intimate knowledge than she did.

“But it’s more than just an attempt to ruin the Treaty, Madam Dupuis.

We think it’s a conspiracy between certain Hayuman and Hrruban elements that might lead’-this was the hardest part to say aloud-‘might lead to an interspecies war. .” Madam Dupuis’s hand went to her throat and her complexion paled noticeably.

“A war that is meant to leave only one species on Doona and only one dominant species in the known galaxy.” Madam Dupuis regarded her for a very lon moment with eyes dulled with sorrow.

“I fear you may be right, Kelly Solinari, though] have not had the courage to admit it to myself. i have always known that our current Controller wa one of Third Speaker’s nominees, but he has, until recently, been scrupulously fair in his judgment during our negotiations.” She bowed her head for long moment, her hand idly stroking her robe. “l have suspected a subtle alteration in his mien.

Yoi don’t live for twelve years in close contact will someone, even of another species1 and no notice’-her fingers flickered-‘little things.

I’v wondered about his much-vaunted impartiality1 hu then,’ and she gave Kelly a rueful grin1 “mine ha been slipping somewhat, too.

With all of my hear I want Doona to remain as it is.” Her manne altered abruptly. “It is extraordinary behavior for born and bred Doonan to break and enter, but you can keep it to yourself and can find what yo seek, I shall forget I’ve seen you.”

“You will?” Kelly couldn’t believe her escape.

“Hmm,’ Madam Dupuis murmured in an abser fashion. “I just came over to shut his door. I ha noticed that the wind must have blown it aja Surprising how strong the breeze can be when th temperature starts to fall at this time of day.” Sb started back to the door then turned, hand on the knob. “Have you found what you’re looking for?” Kelly shook her head. “I only just got here.”

“Then for the sake of us all, find it,’ she said in a voice of command.
