"The mystery is that she was permitted an hour of rationality before this came upon her. I wonder if Hobart's vitality had anything to do with it?" half to himself. "As for the Rhamda" he smiled "he is merely interested in the Spot; that is all. He would never harm the Aradna; he had nothing whatever to do with her condition. We were mistaken about the man.
His manner was that of reverence and admiration. He touched her hand. "I see how it must have happened. Precisely what I experienced, only " Then: "You call her Ariadne?" "We had to call her something," replied Charlotte. "And the name it just came, I suppose." "Perhaps. Anyhow, it was a remarkably good guess. Her true name is the Aradna." Who what is she?" "Just that: the Aradna.
"Yes, my lord." "And the Senestro plans to marry both queens, according to the custom!" "My lord" and the Jan suddenly snapped erect "the Bar will do exceedingly well if he succeeds in marrying one of them! Certainly he shall never have the Aradna not while I live and can fight!" "Good! How about the Nervina?" "He'll do well to find her first!" "True enough.
He staggered, thrown off his balance by reason of the fact that he had been resting the weight of one foot on the stone and it moved! Moved shifted about its axis, just as it had done forty-eight hours previously, when the Aradna had dropped through.
And as he did so, someone came noiselessly down the steps from the floor above, passed unnoticed behind the watchers and thence across into the hall. It was a slender, frail figure in white the Aradna, walking like one in the grip of a higher will. Before they could make a move she had stepped into the Blind Spot, under the dot of blue, and into a string of light. And then she was gone.
The red dots began to descend toward the three-cornered figure. One minute passed, and another; then one more, and the June Bug landed. With scarcely a sound the Lucar brought the craft to a full stop. In a moment he was assisting the Aradna to alight. As for the Geos, he took from the machine two objects, which he held out to the Aradna and to Chick. "Put these on.
With that he stepped gracefully, superbly from the dais beneath his throne. He bowed to the Aradna, to Geos, to Chick and to the assembly and was gone. The blue guard followed in silence. The rest of the ordeal was soon done. Nothing more was said about the Jarados, nor of what the Bar Senestro had brought up.
By her side Harry Wendel crouched on one knee, as if awaiting the signal. Behind him, the Nervina, supporting the awakening Aradna. And in front of all, the powerful bulk of Hobart Fenton, standing squarely at the head of the stair, ready to grapple the first to reach the landing. But most important of all, there stood the doctor himself.
The Bar stood up, his black eyes dancing with mocking laughter. "The chosen, O Aradna? The chosen? Do not allow yourself to be tricked by a little thing! I myself have been chosen by the inherited law of the Thomahlia!" Then to Chick: "I see, Sir Phantom, that our futures are to be intertwined with interest!" "I don't know what you mean." "No?
He was royally clad, his breast gleaming with jewels. He was certainly handsome; he had the carriage of confident royalty. There was no fear in this man, no uncertainty, no weakness. If confidence were a thing of strength, the Senestro was already the victor. In his heart Chick secretly admired him. But just then the Aradna stood up, She made an indication to Watson. He stepped over to the queen.
