<passage>:
wife, Jane, that is...." she might look with favor on you in the Changing of the Wives, if I said a few well chosen words in your behalf." "And with your permission, Father...." "Ah...." "She's a very pretty woman." "I may tell you, my son, that, in thinking this matter over last night, I decided that Wanda—ah—Miller, yes, has had sufficient duty to merit participation in the Festival." "Justice is a priestly virtue," Harry said. "And you really think your wife would...?" "I hope he does I jest hope he does. He's th' one that's a-keepin' us all from our Reward, an' I jest hope he does heyar me, so he'll know "Oh, yes, Father." I'm a-gittin' mighty tyird uv waitin'." "Well, ahem. But...." "That is to say, in order for a woman to join in the ritual of the Changing of the Wives, she must, ahem, be married." "I never thought of that," said the third mate disconsolately. you have the greatest sensibility in questions of duty." "That's quite so, y'know. I pride myself upon it, if I do say so." "Exactly. Zentahday—I may depend upon you to wed Wanda Miller, the bosun's your duty when it was plainly and properly called to your attention." "Very well, Father," the captain said after several minutes. "I will do nor would he consent to Nestir's suggestion that he carry a nosegay of hydroponic flowers. He had intended, after the ceremony, to go about his duty as if nothing "Gee. You say the cutest things. I'm awful glad you had to marry me, that I know what a Festival should be, and the captain and I will do everything in our power to make our Casting Off as wonderful as any anywhere. "And I want to tell you that if you'll come to me with your suggestions, I'll do all I can to see that we do this thing just the way you want it done. I want you to be proud of this Casting Off Everyone but Joanne Marie's husband cheered. He sat glumly muttering to himself. Nestir bobbed his shiny head at them and beamed his cherubic smile. And "You'll spoil the flavor, shaking it that way," the third mate When the third mate saw that his opinion on the wine was not "He had a very pretty wife," the third mate said. "But it wasn't at all bloody," the wife of the second mate said. "I "Yes," said the second mate's wife. "I remember that. I read about it hastening to his Reward." Upon hearing the word duty, the captain brightened. "That," he said to Nestir, "my dear Father, is the cardinal point of the whole game, y'know." He scratched the back of his left hand. "Duty. And I must say, I think you're being quite short-sighted about the Certainly you've misinterpreted that. Anticipation can be a joy, y'know: almost equal to the very Reward. Anticipation should spur man in duty. It's all noble and self sacrificing." He scratched the back of his right hand. The second mate had been trying to get a word in edgewise for several The captain was not visibly cheered he was still brooding about the sad absence of a sense of duty on the part of Nestir. "I will welcome "Oh, very," said the steward. "I don't know," the second mate's wife said, "whether you better count on my husband or not. I have my own plans for him." "This problem of Carstar interests me," the third mate said. "Did I ever tell you about my wife? She strangled our second baby." "That's very kind of you, but I...." "No bother at all," the steward said. "As I see it," Nestir said, "if the intent was the natural maternal instinct of the mother to release her child from its duty, then...." "Oh, not at all," the third mate's wife said. "I did it to make him stop crying." "Well, in that case, I see no reason why he shouldn't get his Reward." "I certainly hope so," the third mate said. "Jane worries about it all the time." "I do not," Jane contradicted. "Now, honey, you know you do so." At that moment, he lost interest in his wife and leaned across the table toward the captain, "Well?" he asked. The third mate turned triumphantly to the first mate. "There, I told "She's the oldest child on the ship, and she wants you to sign her adult petition so she can be in the Festival, Father." "She's so young...." "After all, one must have done some duty," the captain said. "He wants you to sign it so he can take her in the Changing of the Wives," Jane said. Nestir fidgeted uncomfortably. "Well, I'll look at her record," he "It's an idea," the second mate said. "Otherwise, we'll be short one "There wouldn't be one short if he had brought a wife," the first "Now, Martha. I place duty above pleasure. You're just angry, y'know, because you have to stay with your husband." "All right, so I am. But it's true. And if Carstar hadn't been killed, there would have been two short." She shot a wicked glance at Nestir. "Why don't you and him share a woman—" "Martha!" "Although the Prophet knows what woman in her right mind would consent "Listen," the third mate said, "the second's right. If you don't sign Nestir blushed. "I'll look it over very carefully, but you must realize that the priestcraft...." "Actually, in a way, it would be her duty to, you see. Think of it like that: as her way to do her duty." "She's too young for you, dear," Jane said to her husband. "Oh, I don't know," the steward said. "Sometimes they're the best, I III The third mate, whose name was Harry, stood before the mirror combing "I suppose the crew is celebrating?" his wife said. She has three children, you know." "You're imagining things." "But she does have three children." "Huh-uh." "I mean, why don't you pick someone else? Like Mary? She's awful sweet. I'll bet she'd be better." Changing of the Wives yet. Don't forget." don't , I mean." He walked over and kissed her forehead and patted her cheek. "Course not," he said, comfortingly. When he entered it, the second mate was yawning. "If Nestir lets me." "Say. Harry. Do you suppose your wife would...?" Harry crossed to the second mate and put a hand on his shoulder. "Sorry, old fellow. She's got it in her head to take Nestir." He shrugged. "I don't exactly approve, of course, but ... I'm sure if he doesn't want her, she'd be glad to hear your offer." "Aw, that's all right," John said. "Don't really matter. Say. By the the equipment warming sounded in his ears. Wanda would be sure to want to look at the stars. She was simple minded. "I must say, fellow, your sense of duty is commendable." "Well, uh, thank you, sir. And thank you, Father, for your time." "Quite all right, my son. That's what I'm here for. Come in as often as you like." "It's about Wanda, Father," said the third mate.
