Every book has typos. Every book. But this book is different. This book isn't perfect, but it fails well. If you spot a typo in this book, send it to (that's me) and I'll correct it in the electronic editions and in the next copy of the print-on-demand book that's printed — nighinstantaneously. What's more, as a thank-you, I'll include your name as a footnote on the page you fixed for me, and at the bottom of the ebooks. | feedboo is A Voyage to Arcturus Lindsay David Published 1920 Categorie s Fiction Science Fiction Source http www.gutenberg.org 1 Copyright This work is available for countries where copyright is Life 50 or in the USA published before 1923 .

Backhouse on the contrary was a novelty to the merchant. As he tranquilly studied him through half closed lids and the smoke of a cigar he wondered how this little thickset person with the pointed beard contrived to remain so fresh and sane in appearance in view of the morbid nature of his occupation. Do you smoke drawled Faull by way of starting the Conversation. No Then will you take a drink Not at present I thank you. A pause. Everything is satisfactory The materialisation will take place I see no reason to doubt it. That s good for I would not like my guests to be disappointed. I have your check written out in my pocket. Afterward will do quite well. Nine o clock was the time specified I believe I fancy so. The conversation continued to flag. Faull sprawled in his chair and remained apathetic. Would you care to hear what arrangements I have made I am unaware that any are .
