midday
One of my most effective mottoes has always been , `` Secrecy can be an obviousity . '' What the magicians call misdirection . Let people very obviously see what you want them to see , then they 'll never notice what is hidden . This was why I landed at midday , on the largest field on the planet , after a very showy approach . I was already dressed for my role , and out of the ship before the landing braces stopped vibrating . Buckling the fur cape around my shoulders with the platinum clasp , I stamped down the ramp . The sturdy little M-3 robot rumbled after me with my bags .
