Abruptly Elza said: "I have never really thanked you, Wolfgar. You saved my life there when Tara attacked me." He gestured. "Your thanks are more than such a service deserves." As though the subject had suggested Georg and Maida to him, he added, "I am wondering where Georg Brende and the Princess Maida may be." I fancied then that I saw a quality of wistfulness in his eyes.
"And so I must not let them do that. They want me to come to Washington with the Brende model deliver it over to them. Yet that does not appeal to me. Tomorrow I shall have to bargain with them further. I could not deliver to them the Brende model." He was chuckling at his own phrasing. "No no, I could not do that." "Why?" demanded Georg. "Isn't the model here?" "It is where it is," said Tarrano.
Tarrano's laugh was grim and triumphant. "Ha! We win there, also! Enough! Nunz? Nunz now you can give me the Earth Council! Where is it sitting? Washington, or Great London?" "Washington, Master." "Very well.... No, never mind connecting me. You speak for me. Tell them I've changed my mind. The Brende model is not coming to Washington. Tell them Georg Brende is lost to them, also.
"Oh, Lady Elza, let this be a lesson to all of us! To cure disease is well. To prevent it that too is good. But immortality Dr. Brende never intended it, you know he did not, Lady Elza the belief that we have everlasting life here on this plane the Creator never intended that. With all danger of death gone save violence these immortals here fear violence so greatly that they are men no longer!
She must have searched about very carefully to " I stopped; I could feel my cheeks burning, and was glad of the dimness there under the trees. "She did," said Georg. "I sent for you, Jac," Dr. Brende interjected abstractedly, "because " But Georg checked him. "Not now, father. Someone anyone might pick you up. Your words or read your lips there's light enough here to register on a finder."
Her face was pale, frightened, yet she seemed calm. Her glorious white hair tumbled down in waves over her shoulders. "Wolfgar he " She choked a little in the smoke that swirled around them. Georg cut in: "He sent me Georg Brende. Don't talk now get this off." He pulled the heavy costume from her.
In the sudden silence of the room her voice was low, clear, and steady, though her hands were trembling. "P.C.S. 10.42 Venus helio. 'Defeat! Beware Tarrano! Notify your Dr. Brende in Eurasia, danger." We men stared at each other. But Elza went on reading. "P.C.S. 10.44 Venus helio. 'Lost! No more! Smashing apparatus! The Venus sending station went dark at 10.44.30.
"I should say, mine and Georg's and Elza's, for they have both helped me materially." I knew that Dr. Brende had for years been one of the Earth's most eminent research physicians. It was he who discovered the light vibrations which had banished forever the dread germs of several of the major diseases. He did not practice; his work was research only.
His gesture waved her aside, that she should not come within those deadly vibrations he was flinging at us. And I saw his other hand lift a tiny mouthpiece from his belt; heard his voice say into it: "Argo? Argo! That Georg Brende " He stopped; a look of annoyance came over his face. Argo did not answer!
A little hope from those gentle eyes of yours a little word from those red lips a word of hope for what some day might be for us you and me " She dared to try and turn the subject. "You mentioned the Brende model where is it? Have you it in the Cold Country?" He frowned. "Yes. And I will use it for you and me alone. You've always known that, haven't you? Just for you and me, my Elza."
