"If we decide to remain down here and take our medicine you and your men whom we rescued so kindly from the mother sub are going to get the same medicine that we do." He paused for a moment to let the import of his words sink home. "But, Herr Schmidt, we do not propose to stay down here and wait for death to claim us," he continued calmly. "Life is sweet to us just as it is sweet to you.
A tumbler of hock was passed to me, and I also emptied it. Captain X then addressed me. "Paul Schmidt," he said, "you know now to what you are committed. You are content?" "Absolutely," I answered. "Is it permitted, though, to ask a question?" "Certainly, as long as it does not concern the details of our plans. These do not concern you. You have only to obey."
It has been held by some selenologists and Schmidt appears to be of the number, that, seeing the comparative scarcity of large ring-plains and other massive formations on the Maria, these grey plains represent, as it were, a picture of the primitive surface of the moon before it was disturbed by the operations of interior forces; but this view affords no explanation of the undoubted existence of the relics of an earlier lunar world beneath their smooth superficies.
"I serve you, Monsieur, sooner than I promised; and that is the way you ought to be served. I send you the answer of M.

"I did not examine your luggage, Miss Guile," said he stiffly. She hadn't left much for him to stand upon. "Rather unique way to put one's initials on a trunk, isn't it?"
He noticed that they were right, whilst certain astronomers, who only allow grey colouring on the surface of the moon, are wrong. In certain places the green colour was very vivid; according to Julius Schmidt, it is so in the Seas of Serenity and Humours.
I was forced to say something, or I must have laughed outright. "I should like to know," I said, "what is expected of me." An exceedingly fat man, whom I had noticed as the companion of the lady upstairs in the sailor hat, beckoned me to stand before him. "Paul Schmidt," he said, "listen to me! You are a German born?" "Without doubt," I answered.
