Lost Legacy
Robert A. Heinlein


CHAPTER ONE

“Ye Have Eyes to See With!”

“HI-YAH, BUTCHER!” Doctor Philip Huxley put down the dice cup
he had been fiddling with as he spoke, and shoved out a chair with
his foot. “Sit down.”

The man addressed ostentatiously ignored the salutation while
handing a yellow slicker and soggy felt hat to the Faculty Clubroom
attendant, but accepted the chair. His first words were to the negro
attendant.

“Did you hear that, Pete? A witch doctor, passing himself off as a
psychologist, has the effrontery to refer to me—to me, a licensed
physician and surgeon, as a butcher.” His voice was filled with
gentle reproach.

“Don’t let him kid you, Pete. If Doctor Coburn ever got you into an
operating theatre, he’d open up your head just to see what makes
you tick. He’d use your skull to make an ashtray.”

The man grinned as he wiped the table, but said nothing.

Cobum clucked and shook his head. “That from a witch doctor. Still
looking for the Little Man Who Wasn’t There, Phil?”
