Which comes in handy seeing as, though I’m the least moral minded of the bunch, I ain’t alone in doing things contrary to the law. ![]() It’s got a few secret passages and Malcolm, the big Scot that keeps bar, lets us know if anything’s amok. I went through the big room to the small room Tuck keeps for Rob. The lasses pushed through the lot, using a smile or slap as needed to get their own way. It were heaving with bodies, laughs, and mugs slinging ’bout. I slipped in the door and moved quiet past Tuck, the innkeep, and went into the barroom. ![]() It were rough, but none here would turn me out for being a thief and a liar. It were too hot and stank of beer and men, and I smiled. I opened the door to Friar Tuck’s and the air fair slapped me ’cross the face. Like, when you walk through a room full of big men drunk off their skulls, it ain’t so bad to be ignored. No one ever takes me for more than a knockabout lad, a whip of a boy. I’m Rob’s secret, I’m his informant, I’m his shadow in dark places. You taught me what it means to be strong. ![]()

![]() ![]() Drawing upon a broad array of studies in contemporary psychology, the author integrates a new model for understanding these unusual abilities with the best research in psychology on problems as diverse as memory, perception, personality, creativity and fear. First Sight provides a new way of understanding such experiences and describes a way of thinking about the unconscious mind that makes it clear that these abilities are not rare and anomalous, but instead are used by all of us all the time, unconsciously and efficiently. Often seen as supernatural, unpredictable, illusory and possibly dangerous, ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance and other parapsychological activities are actually happening all the time and help us make sense of everyday experiences. ![]() ![]() ![]() The collection was reprinted by Citadel Press in 2003 under the title Paycheck and Other Classic Stories.
