      Rich Living

      By MICHAEL CATHAL

      Illustrated by MEL HUNTER

      [Transcriber Note: This etext was produced from Galaxy Science Fiction February 1955. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]

      No other planet in the entire Galaxy was at all like Rejuvenal ... it was the only world worth one's whole fortune for a short visit!

      Curtis Delman was the last to leave the space liner. It was only when the Captain entered that he ceased dictating and put down the microphone. Then, with the clumsy deliberation of the aged, he pressed home the lid of the recorder and turned the key in the lock. There was almost a mile of fine wire in that box—a mile of detailed instruction, compiled over the past four days. For a centenarian, his energy was prodigious.

      The Captain stood respectfully by the door, waiting to be noticed. Delman beckoned him into the suite.

      Hat in hand, the Captain walked over to the desk. I thought you'd like to know, sir, the rest of the passengers have disembarked. He spoke with deference.

      Good, said Delman. I shan't delay you more than a few minutes longer.

      Oh, no delay, I assure you, sir, the Captain replied hastily. Only too happy to be of service. The crew asked me to thank you on their behalf, sir, for your great generosity. It was more than—er—generous. Words seemed to fail him.

      Not at all, Captain, Delman said. You've all done your best to make the crossing as comfortable as possible and I'm very grateful to you. Perhaps you'd do one more thing for me on your return—deliver this to my representative in London. He pointed to the recording machine.

      Certainly, sir.

      Then that takes care of everything. The great lawyer rose creakily to his feet. Though bent with age, he was still an impressive figure, tall and powerfully built, his white hair spilling out over the massive forehead. I suppose the press is here?

      I'm afraid so, sir.

      Well, one can't dodge them on Jupiter. There's no room to move as it is.

      The Captain laughed sympathetically. No one knew better than himself the limitations of the planet. He'd lived here as a child, grown up under that plastic bubble which Man had built to preserve an atmosphere—two thousand acres of habitable land in a wilderness of millions of square miles. It was enough to break the heart of any boy.

      Delman stooped to pick up his two heavy canes. The Captain leaped forward and handed them to him. Then lawyer and skipper left the suite and moved slowly toward the gangway. As they reached the steps, the Captain broke the silence.

      "It's been a privilege to have you on board, sir, and
