When I come to, I was blindfolded like I am now. I don't know what happened to the other guys. I haven't seen 'em. I haven't seen anything! But they just put me in front of what I think is the 'copter's short wave set an' squeaked at me " The recorded voice ended abruptly. The news announcer's voice came back.
The announcer's voice, when it came in over the muted jingle "explained" the miracle of the slum-clearance again a miracle of American technology. Then he outlined the next "miracle" the Witch Corporation would promote. This, he said, would be a miracle of American Medical know-how.
Things are bound to turn in a few days. Can't you hold out? Here's more trouble." He raised his eyes to the announcer's balcony. "The Eastern and Western Fire Insurance Company of New York announces that it cannot meet its obligations." A low sound something like "Haw!" broke forth. The announcer's gavel struck for order.
As they said it, we heard a familiar buzz; then the drone of an announcer's voice. Tarrano's guard had doubtless observed my recovery and had had orders to throw current into our instruments. Strange man, this Tarrano! He wished the news spread before us again. Confident of his own dominance over every crisis, he wanted Elza and me to hear it as it came from the discs.
Georg picked up the pile of tape whereon the announcer's words were being printed. He ran back over it. "Another helio from Venus!" he exclaimed. "Ten minutes ago." And then I saw his lips go tight together. He made no move to hide the tape from Elza, but she was beside him and already reading it. Her fingers switched off the announcer's droning voice. "Pacific Coastal Station," Elza read.
The announcer's face appeared again, stern and sorrowful. "A great disaster has befallen these lovers and all the world loves a lover, you know. Some thugs, believed by the police to be terrestrial spies, have kidnapped the princess from the palace of her uncle, Prince Joro of Hanlon.
Race called at three o'clock sharp! Horse failing to score on the dot will be ruled out! Range saddles to be used. Entries for the two-mile sweepstakes will show at once on the track!" Dead silence ensued during the announcer's drawling oration. It was followed by the hum of five thousand voices as they chattered in eager expectancy. The band crashed out Dixie and a medley of southern melodies.
