““I’m sorry,” said Siever Genarr, looking down his long nose at mother and daughter with an expression that seemed to beg their pardon even without his words. “I had told Marlene that this job was not a very busy one and then almost immediately thereafter we had a kind of minicrisis with our power supply and I found I had to delay this conference of ours. The crisis is over, however, and wasn’t much to begin with, now that we can view it in hindsight. Am I forgiven?”
“Of course, Siever,” said Eu...genia Insigna. She was clearly restless. “I won’t say it’s been an easy three days, though. I feel that every hour we stay here increases Marlene’s danger.”
