"You mine Princess ist for always, und..." "But Igor," she said, drawing back to look up into his blazing eyes. "It cannot be! You forget the Master may kill me and unthink you at any moment! Now I must hurry back to the master, to plead with him for mercy, to ask him not to unthink you yet. Perhaps..." But the great guffaws of Igor stopped her ruby lips half open as he roared with some secret amusement. "Igor!" she snapped, some of her old imperious manner returning. "What's the matter with you? This is no laughing matter!" "Ach, yes!" he roared. "Der Master can unthink and unthink, but me, he cannot hurt! Not anybody can me, der great Karl von Heine, unthink!" * * * JOHN UPPERBERTH stood before a shiny microphone, nervously running his finger around inside his collar and watching the engineers and program directors in the glass-walled control booth.

"Ladies and gentlemen -- and fans -- it is with more pleasure than I can express that I bring you today the story of the last, greatest achievement of that immortal genius, the late Professor Karl von Heine. It is a fitting memorial to him that you shall forever honor him for this splended achievement.

On the very eve of success we, like all the world, were shocked by von Heine's untimely and tragic death, a death which left our project uncompleted. But as you all know, this morning saw the fruition of our labors, the launching into interplanetary space of the first successful man-carrying rocket. Since then, I am sure, you have all been anxiously awaiting further news of the historic flight. It is now my honor and my privilege to announce.."
