“Why do you need so many telescopes?” Laurie asked.
“See for yourself.”
Laurie put an eye to the 'scope labeled ELEGANT. A red, round splotch was hanging in the
air. And was that a rope?
“Hey, that's Fresnel's balloon! I can see him! He's waving!” Laurie exclaimed.
Laurie looked into other telescopes. Each one was pointed at a different lighthouse. The one
for ABSTRACT showed the lighthouse keeper who didn't say very much, up in his tall white
tower by the sea, looking back through a telescope of his own. He didn't wave. The
BYZANTIUM telescope showed half a pyramid covered in giant mechanical turtles. Bruto
was busy counting bricks.
Ping put down the heavy package Laurie had delivered and released the latches. Inside was a
squat telescope. “Excellent! I've been waiting for this.”
