Olhado didn't know what to make of it. Wasn't the Speaker a grown man? Hadn't he traveled from planet to planet? Yet he didn't have the faintest idea how to handle anything on a computer.
Also, he was a little testy when Olhado asked him about it. "Olhado, just tell me what program to run."
"I can't believe you don't know what it is. I've been doing data comparisons since I was nine years old. Everybody learns how to do it at that age."
"Olhado, it's been a long time since I went to school. And it wasn't a normal escola baixa, either."
"But everybody uses these programs all the time!"
"Obviously not everybody. I haven't. If I knew how to do it myself, I wouldn't have had to hire you, would I? And since I'm going to be paying you in offworld funds, your service to me will make a substantial contribution to the Lusitanian economy."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Neither do I, Olhado. But that reminds me. I'm not sure how to go about paying you." "You just transfer money from your account."
"How do you do that?"
"You've got to be kidding."
The Speaker sighed, knelt before Olhado, took him by the hands, and said, "Olhado, I beg you, stop being amazed and help me! There are things I have to do, and I can't do them without the help of somebody who knows how to use computers."
"I'd be stealing your money. I'm just a kid. I'm twelve. Quim could help you a lot better than me. He's fifteen, he's actually gotten into the guts of this stuff. He also knows math."
"But Quim thinks I'm the infidel and prays every day for me to die."
"No, that was only before he met you, and you better not tell him that I told you."
"How do I transfer money?"
Olhado turned back to the terminal and called for the Bank. "What's your real name?" he asked.
