question:  What impression can be made about Don’s feelings towards Alis?
context: Radio messages stated simply that Superior had seceded from Earth. The object loomed out of a cloudbank at twelve thousand feet and Studley changed course to avoid it. Don Cort had been dozing in what passed for the club car on the Buckeye Cannonball when the train braked to a stop. When Don had entered the club car he'd seen her hatless head from above and noticed that the hair along the part was dark. The handcuff it was attached to was one reason why his interest in the redhead had been only passing. Don hesitated, shrugged at the redhead, said, "Excuse me," and followed the conductor. Don made his way up to the locomotive and found a bigger knot of people gathered in front of the cowcatcher. Don saw two men who must have been the engineer and the fireman talking to an old bearded gentleman wearing a civil defense helmet, a topcoat and riding boots. Don Cort and the fireman walked cautiously toward the edge while the professor ambled ahead with the familiarity of one who had been there before. Nevertheless, Don could see that it apparently was a neat, sharp edge, not one of your old ragged, random edges such as might have been caused by an explosion. He didn't have to stand on tiptoe any more than he had to sit on the edge of his seat during the exciting part of a movie, but the situation seemed to call for it. Don looked at the fireman, who had an unbelieving expression on his face, then at the bearded old man, who was smiling and nodding. Well, Professor Garet telephoned and said, 'Hector'—that's my name, I think what he was trying to convey was that this—this levitation confirmed his magnology principle."
