  "Pucky!" Perry interrupted calmly. "Didn't you want to skip over to the Springers and request a parley?"

  The Vagabond leaper became mock serious as he answered, "Yes, that's right, Mr. Rhodan, sir. I'm glad you reminded me." Then, glancing at Bell with his gentle brown eyes, Pucky added: "But when I get back I'll tell this... this... this..."

  He couldn't find the right word so to save himself embarrassment he dematerialized.
