Late as it was, they were waiting for us, about twenty of them, sitting around and smoking and looking very ugly.
It was awfully lonesome out there, with the desert cold and restless under the two moons.
There's a smell to Mars, like something dead and dried long past decay, but still waiting.
An unhappy smell.
the blown red dust gritted in my teeth bucky shannon walked out into the glare of the light at the entrance to the roped-off space around the main lock he was pretty steady on his feet he waved and said hiya boys
they got up off the steps and the packing-cases and came toward us i grinned and got into my brassies we felt we owed those boys a lot more than money it grates on a man's pride to have to sneak in and out of his own property through the sewage lock this was the first time in weeks we'd come in at the front door i waved the money in their faces that stopped them
Very solemnly, Bucky and I checked the bills, paid them, and pocketed the receipts.

I didn't want to see Gertrude.
