” “That is also a matter of public record” “And you made yourself quite famous at the adult comic strips start by delivering a mathematical paper on-what do you call it? psychohistory?” Seldon shook his head very slightly How often he had regretted that indiscretion Of course, he had had adult comic strips no idea at the time that it was an indiscretion He said, “A youthful enthusiasm It came adult comic strips to nothing” “Is that so?” Joranum looked around him with an air of adult comic strips pleased surprise “Yet here you are, the head of the adult comic strips Mathematics Department at one of Trantor's greatest Universities, and only forty years old, I believe I'm forty-two, by the way, so I adult comic strips don't look upon you as very old at all You must be a very competent mathematician to be in this position” Seldon shrugged “I wouldn't care to make a judgment in that matter” “Or you must have powerful friends” “We would all like to have powerful friends, Mr Joranum, but I think you will find none here University professors rarely have powerful friends or, I sometimes think, friends of any kind” He smiled And so did Joranum “Wouldn't you consider the Emperor a powerful friend, Professor Seldon?” “I certainly would, but what has that to do with me?” “I am under the impression that the Emperor is a friend of yours” “I'm sure the records will show, Mr Joranum, that I had an audience with His Imperial Majesty eight years ago It lasted perhaps an hour or less adult comic strips and I saw no signs of any great friendliness in him at the time Nor have I spoken to him since—or even seen him-except on holovision, of course” “But, Professor, it is not necessary to see or speak to the Emperor to have him as a powerful friend It is sufficient to see or speak to Eto Demerzel, the Emperor's First Minister Demerzel adult comic strips is your protector and, since he is, we may adult comic strips as well say the Emperor is” “Do you find First Minister adult comic strips Demerzel's supposed protection of adult comic strips me anywhere in the records?

Are adult comic strips you trying to adult comic strips hurt me by pretending to adult comic strips think I am a monster of naivete? I mentioned your psychohistory, which Demerzel wants” “And I told you that it was a youthful indiscretion that came to nothing” “You adult comic strips may tell me adult comic strips a great many things, Professor I am not compelled to accept what you tell me Come, let me speak frankly I have read your original paper and have tried to understand it with the help of some mathematicians on my staff They adult comic strips tell me it is a wild dream and quite impossible” “I quite agree with them,” said Seldon “But I have the feeling that Demerzel is waiting for it to be developed and put to use And if he can wait, so can I It would be more useful to you, Professor Seldon, to have me wait” “Why so?” “Because Demerzel will not endure in his position for much longer Public opinion is turning against him steadily It may be that when the Emperor wearies of an unpopular First Minister who threatens to drag the throne down with him, he will find a replacement It may even be my poor self whom the Emperor's fancy will seize upon And you will still adult comic strips need a protector, someone who can see to adult comic strips it that you can work in peace and with ample funds for whatever you need in the way of equipment and assistants” “And would you be that protector?” “Of course-and for the same reason that Demerzel is I want a successful psychohistoric adult comic strips technique so that I can rule the Empire more adult comic strips efficiently” Seldon nodded thoughtfully, waited a moment, then said, “But in that case, Mr Joranum, adult comic strips why must I concern myself in this? I am a poor scholar, living a quiet life, engaged in out-of-the-way mathematical and pedagogical activities You say that Demerzel is my present protector and that you will be my future protector.
