“But…”
“That settles it. I cannot leave you at this level of stupidity. More work is needed to bring you to even the lowest level of accomplishment. Much more work. And I am afraid I must be here to supervise it. Such is the burden of the dedicated teacher, who dares to try to train fools to come in out of the rain.”
“Chiun,” Remo said, a smile beginning to crease his face. “I can’t say…I can’t…”
But Chiun had changed the channel from the news broadcast of Maharaji Dor to an early morning soap opera, and he raised a hand for silence as he stared at the set.
And Remo was silent, because no one disturbs the Master of Sinanju during his momentary respite of beauty.
“Practice your breathing,” Chiun said. “I will get to you later. And then we can discuss our trip to Sinanju. That is, if you and the other racists have not already forgotten your promise.”
Remo turned to the door.
“Where are you going?” Chiun asked.
“To rent a submarine,” said Remo.
