There was a roar of laughter from the Arcturus unit and a low groan from Tom and Roger. Astro saw that he had kicked the ball over his own goal line. "Why, you clobber-headed Venusian hick!" yelled Roger. "Can't you tell the difference between our goal and theirs?" Astro grinned sheepishly as the three jogged back to their own goal to line up once more. "Lay off, Roger," said Tom.
While Astro lay on the ground with the wind knocked out of him, Schohari and Swift converged on the ball. With Astro down and Tom out of position, the Arcturus unit seemed certain of scoring. But again the ball rolled crazily, this time straight to Roger, the last defender. He nudged it between his opponents toward Tom, who, in turn, kicked it obliquely past Allen back to Roger again.
But I know that this is the first time you have had time even to eat like civilized beings, so I'll forgive you this once. Why all the registering of amazement, Norman?" "I'm astonished that you aren't being monopolized by some husband or other. Surely the officers of the Arcturus weren't so dumb that they'd stand for your still being Verna Pickering, were they?" "Not dumb, Norman, no.
But Christians acknowledge now that the earth goes round the sun, and the name of Copernicus is honoured. Bruno, who first declared the stars to be suns, and "led forth Arcturus and his host," was burnt at the stake for heresy. Galileo, the father of telescopic astronomy, was threatened with death for denying the errors of the Church, was put in prison and tortured as a heretic.
He indicated another of the little books. "I think we will do well to investigate a planet which the Venusians call 'Sanus. It belongs to the tremendous planetary family of the giant star Arcturus. I haven't read any details at all; I didn't want to know more than you. We can proceed with our discoveries on an equal footing."
They saw Mercury, with its gleam of white light, and Mars, with its ruddy glow; they saw Regulus come out of the darkening blue on one side of the sun, Venus shimmer and Procyon twinkle near the horizon, and Arcturus shine down from the zenith.
Cartwright studied it carefully and gave the glasses to Barbara, who stood near him on the Catalina mole. "Is that one trail of smoke?" he asked. "I think I see two. Sometimes they melt, but they're getting distinct now. There are two!" "Ah!" said Cartwright. "Then it's Arcturus. I expect your tug has saved the situation." "Lister saved Arcturus before I meddled," Barbara declared with a blush.
Teeming, maternal orb I take you again to myself. With departing Venus, large to the last, and shining even to the edge of the horizon, the vast dome presents at this moment, such a spectacle! Mercury was visible just after sunset a rare sight. Arcturus is now risen, just north of east.
We observed nothing extraordinary with respect to the sun’s light about the shortest day; but as early as the 20th of November Arcturus could very plainly be distinguished by the naked eye, when near the south meridian at noon.
Such a man, the brightest, happiest, simplest, most genial of human beings, is Hans Christian Andersen. The steamer Arcturus was advertised to sail for Reykjavik on the 4th of June, so it behooved me to be laying in some sort of an outfit for the voyage during the few days that intervened. A knapsack, containing a change of linen and my sketching materials, was all I possessed.
