"If possible. I want to see your world." "I think it can be arranged. Is your lordship ready to go?" "Presently." Watson laid a hand on the big globe he had already puzzled over. "This represents the Thomahlia?" "Yes, my lord." "How long is your day, Geos?" "Twenty-four hours," "I mean, how many revolutions in one circuit of the sun, in one year-circle?"
Passing along the walls, Lance found that it was everywhere the same, and that in stumbling upon this subterranean palace of the fairies they had also discovered a mine of incalculable wealth. Hastily gathering a few of the finest nuggets within reach, they set out to return. They had apparently made the entire circuit of the cavern, for there close to them yawned the black mouth of a passage.
There were sixteen more verses, touching on their ruler's prowess in the realms of sport and war, but they were not destined to be sung on that circuit. King Merolchazzar jumped like a stung bullock, lifted his head, and missed the globe for the twenty-sixth time. He spun round on the minstrels, who were working pluckily through their song of praise: "Oh, may his triumphs never cease!

If you examine an alarm clock of the type described, you will find that the gong hammer lies against the gong when at rest, and that its shaft when in motion vibrates to and fro about a quarter of an inch.
