 What isn't a secret that Eckert has kept from Templin?
[Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Galaxy Science Fiction August 1951. It was Eckert who had come into his office several days ago and told him that Don Pendleton had killed himself. Eckert was just a dull, formless blur opposite him. Eckert had fiddled with the controls and changed it to sunshine, then to a weird mixture of hail amid the brassy, golden sunlight. Eckert and he had been chosen to go to Tunpesh and investigate. The thin red line was practically microscopic now and Templin could feel his lashes lying gently on his cheeks. Warm breezes rustled through Eckert's graying hair and tugged gently at his tunic. It was getting dark; Eckert opened one of the boxes they had brought along, took out an electric lantern and lighted it.
