But Corrus and Dulnop were as ignorant of this as their teeth were devoid of fillings. Not until then did it occur to the four watchers on the earth that there was anything premature about the affair. It was Smith who first observed: "Say, Van, I never thought to impress Dulnop with any plan for using the fire. How about you and Corrus?" "By George!" seriously, from the geologist.
A little way back a hollow in the rock! 'Tis big enough to shelter me! I would rather stay there than go on!" "Ye would rather die there, alone!" Cunora hid her face. "Let me have half the food! I can go back to the pool for water! And maybe," hopefully "maybe They will give up the search in time." "Aye," from Rolla, bitterly. "And in time Dulnop will die, if we do nothing for him and for Corrus!"
The commandant answered instantly: "Put an immediate end to their desires!" "It shall be done!" At that moment there was a stir on the ground. In fact, this was the instant when Corrus began his vehement outcry against the tyranny of "They." "You will descend," commented Supreme evenly, "and warn the big man not to repeat such outbreaks."
As for Corrus and Dulnop, they even went so far as to search the heaps of stone in the mineral yards, although neither really expected to find what they sought. But the four on the earth, not being able to do anything further until morning, proceeded to make themselves at home in the doctor's house. Smith and the doctor slept together, likewise Billie and Mrs.
"The flower has come!" the shout was passed along. "Corrus and Dulnop have found the flowering blossom!" Within a single minute the two men were surrounded by the whole human population of the place. For the most part the natives were too awe- struck to come very near; they were content to stand off and stare at the marvel, or fall upon their knees and worship it.

To the savages, these told the whole story; these, together with the tree dragged to one side. Corrus and Dulnop were to be buried in that spot every day for as many days as there were pebbles in the heap; in other words, until they died. Every night they would be dug up, and every morning buried afresh.
Presently Corrus spoke in a low tone: "All the same, Dulnop, it were well for me and thee if the secret of the flowing blossom were given us this night. I" he paused, abashed "I am not so sure of myself, Dulnop, when I hear Their accursed buzzing. I fear I am afraid I might give in!" At this Dulnop broke down, and fell to sobbing.
Corrus had driven his herd back from the brook at which they had got their evening drink, and after seeing them all quietly settled for the night, he lay down on the dried grass slope of a small hill, and stared up at the sky. Van Emmon had plenty of time to study the stars as seen from Sanus, and certainly the case demanded plenty of time.
Nowhere was there a spot of land which might be called barren. Rolla and her three friends stood taking this in, keeping a rather curious silence meanwhile. At length Cunora gave a deep sigh, which was almost instantly reproduced by all the rest. Corrus followed his own sigh with a frank curse. "By the great god Mownoth!" he swore fiercely.
