The investigators were obliged to work with Rolla, Dulnop, and Corrus only; upon these three depended the success of their unprecedented scheme. Rolla continued to keep watch upon Supreme; and toward morning that is, morning in that particular part of Sanus the architect was rewarded by catching the bee in a still drowsy condition.
"What!" fiercely, from the younger. Corrus laid a hand upon his arm. "Nay, Dulnop; fear not. I have no feeling for thy Cunora; I may marry her, but as for fathering her children no!" "Suppose," through set teeth, "suppose They should threaten to kill thee?" "I should rather die, Dulnop, than be untrue to Rolla!" The younger man bounded to his feet. "Spoken like a man!
"Those folks will never get anywhere if the bees can help it!" he charged." We've got to lend a hand, here, and see that they get a chance!" Smith said that, so far as he was concerned, the bees might all be consigned to hell. "I'm not going to have anything to do with the agent I had, any more!" he declared. "I'm going to get in touch with that chap, Dulnop. What is he like, doc?"
Corrus being denied the right to visit any woman save Cunora, Dulnop hurried to Rolla and told her what he and the herdsman had learned. The three testimonies made an unshakable case. "By the great god Mownoth!" swore Corrus in vast delight when Dulnop had reported. "We have learned a way to make ourselves free! As free as the squirrels!" "Aye," agreed the younger. "We know the method.
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.
The most curious part of the matter was that these people were mentally incapable of conceiving that there was intelligence at work upon them from another world, or even that there was another world. "Ye saw the stars last night?" Corrus spoke to Dulnop. "Well, 'tis just such stars as shall awaken the seed of the flower. Ye shall see!"
Outside one of them probably Rolla's he paused and gazed longingly, then gave a deep sigh and went on. Shortly he reached another hut in which he found Dulnop. "I was just going to seek ye!" exclaimed the younger man. "I have seen a wondrous sight, Corrus!" Thus the two men came to compare notes, finding that each had learned practically the same thing.
And presently they found, tucked away in Corrus's lion-skin, a large chunk of the pyrites, and a similar piece on Dulnop. "So these were the discoverers," commented Supreme. "What is your will in their case?" the subordinate asked. The commanding bee considered for a long time. Finally she got an idea, such as bees are known to get once in a great while.
He strode forward with scarcely a glance at the two younger people; his gaze was fixed upon Rolla, his expression unmistakable. The woman quietly turned upon Dulnop and Cunora. "Look!" she exclaimed, pointing to a spot back of them. "See the curious bird!"
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!"
