"no profession," said the phonograph voice, hissing. "what are you doing out? " "walking," said leonard mead. "walking! " "just walking," he said simply, but his face felt cold. "walking, just walking, walking? " "yes, sir." "walking where? for what? " "walking for air. walking to see." "your address! " "eleven south saint james street." "and there is air in your house, you have an air conditioner, mr. mead? " "yes." "and you have a viewing screen in your house to see with? " "no." "no? " there was a crackling quiet that in itself was an accusation. . there was a sigh, a pop. the back door of the police car sprang wide. "get in." "wait a minute, i haven't done anything!
