上海龙凤shlf最新地址limestone, from when they cut this place out of the side of the hill.' He tossed them away 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址and dusted his hands. 'I'm a rockhound. At least... I was a rockhound. In my old life. I'd 

like to be one again, on a limited scale.' 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'Sunday expeditions in the exercise yard?' I asked, standing up. It was a silly idea, and yet 

... seeing that little piece of quartz had given my heart a funny tweak. I don't know 

exactly why; just an association with the outside world, I suppose. You didn't think of 

such things in terms of the yard. Quartz was something you picked out of a small, quick- 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址running stream. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'Better to have Sunday expeditions here than no Sunday expeditions at all,' he said. 

'You could plant an item like that rock-hammer in somebody's skull,' I remarked. 

'I have no enemies here,' he said quietly. 

'No?' I smiled. 'Wait awhile.' 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'If there's trouble, I can handle it without using a rock-hammer.' 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'Maybe you want to try an escape? Going under the wall? Because if you do -' 

He laughed politely. When I saw the rock-hammer three weeks later, I understood why. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址"You know,' I said, *if anyone sees you with it, they'll take it may. If tbey saw you with a 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址spoon, they'd take it away. i: you going to do, just sit down here in the yard and 3' away?' 

"Oh, I believe I can do a lot better than that.' 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址I nodded. That part of it really wasn't my business, anyway. A man engages my services 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址to get him something. Whether he can keep it or not after I get it is his business. 

'How much would an item like that go for?' I asked. I was Beginning to enjoy his quiet, 

low-key style. When you've spent ten years in stir, as I had then, you can get awfully 

tired of the bellowers and the braggarts and the loud-mouths. Yes, I dink it would be fair 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址to say I liked Andy from the first. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'Eight dollars in any rock-and-gem shop,' he said, 'but I realize that in a business like 

yours you work on a cost-plus basis-' 

'Cost plus ten per cent is my going rate, but I have to go up some on a dangerous item. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址For something like the gadget you're talking about, it takes a little more goose-grease to 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址get the wheels turning. Let's say ten dollars.' 

'Ten it is' 

I looked at him, smiling a little. 'Have you got ten dollars?' 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'I do,' he said quietly. 

A long time after, I discovered that he had better than five hundred. He had brought it in 

with him. When they check you in at this hotel, one of the bellhops is obliged to bend you 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址over and take a look up your works - but there are a lot of works, and, not to put too fine 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址a point on it, a man who is really determined can get a fairly large item quite a ways up 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址them - far enough to be out of sight, unless the bellhop you happen to draw is in the mood 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址to pull on a rubber glove and go prospecting. 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址That's fine,' I said. 'You ought to know what I expect if you get caught with what I get 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址you.' 

'I suppose I should,' he said, and I could tell by the slight change in his grey eyes that he 

knew exactly what I was going to say. It was a slight lightening, a gleam of his special 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址ironic humour.
