Startled, he put the receiver to his ear. He’d hooked in his lineman’s phone and he couldn’t raise Central, so he was just going to start looking for the break when his phone rang back, though the line had checked dead. He was hunting for the place where that party line had gone dead. It began about six o’clock on July second, when Sam was up a telephone pole near Bridge’s Run. And, of course, anybody who’d taken that seriously and had been puttering around on a device to make private conversations on a party-line telephone possible, and almost had the trick. It is a playing field to explore social perspectives, predictions of the future, and engage in adventures unbound into the richness of the human mind. Anybody, say, who was a telephone lineman for the Batesville and Rappahannock Telephone Company, and who happened to be engaged to Rosie, and who had been told admiringly by Rosie that a man as smart as he was ought to make something wonderful of himself. Many people chose to become scientists because science fiction sparked their interest.
It could have happened to anybody-well, almost anybody. But it’s all perfectly respectable and straightforward.
He does not want the question of privacy to be raised again-especially in Rosie’s hearing. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO believe this story, and if you ask Sam Yoder about it, he is apt to say that it’s all a lie.
