"Well, however you do it, the result's all right. I'm mighty glad, too. Why, when I get you back home on earth " He stopped in sudden confusion. She put her hand on his arm. "Miela says your earth is very wonderful. Tell me about it." She listened to his glowing words. "And opera what is that?" she asked once when he paused.
