"With these instructions," the doctor declared, "any one could do as the Venusians do visit other worlds in spirit!" Just then Estra and Myrin returned. They were moving at what was, for them, a rapid pace; and to all appearances they were rather excited.
Apparently the Venusians did not like the idea very well. "They must have thought it was like letting a monkey play with a rifle," the doctor afterward put it. But, for lack of a leader with any motive for objecting, and because Estra had no living relatives to claim the library, somehow that incredible collection of intellectual gems got into the possession of the four.
Once more an exchange of glances between the four from the earth. Clearly the Venusians were extremely considerate people, to leave their visitors in the care of the one man, apparently, who was able to make them feel at home. There seemed to be no reason for uneasiness. But Van Emmon still had his old misgivings about Estra.
Without a word Myrin drove her machine toward the ground, and, as before, Estra followed despite the lack of any visible signal. Within a minute the two machines had come to rest, softly and without disturbance, on the roof of a handsome building, much like an apartment house.
He is a man in mentality, and an innocent boy in body! "Estra, I have done the thing you wish! This boy will never know jealousy, because he will never know love!" The man in the room with the four answered in a flash: "So you have, Savarona, but only for MEN! No female can benefit by what you have done!"
Suppose some flaw should develop later on?" In the cube, Billie Jackson would not have stumbled over such a speech. She would have ignored the fact that Estra was holding her hand all this time, and gazing deep into her eyes; she would have been filled with what she was saying and not with what she was seeing. On the other side of the room, Van Emmon watched and glowered; he could not hear.
He moved closer to the window, but his eyes were on the door. A rending crash told that the corridor was now open to the mob. There was a rush, and then the storm of the people battering the last door. "Van! Doc! Billie!" Smith had the window open, and was stepping into one of the cars. Kinney and the geologist were at his side in an instant. The girl held back. "Estra!" she begged.
"I have the honor to announce that my sister, Amra, has just given birth" his voice fairly rang "has just given birth to a girl baby, whose only father was her mother's brain!" This time there was no drowning the confusion. The telephone fairly shook with innumerable cries, shouts, imprecations. The four gave up trying to hear, and watched the two Venusians. Myrin was facing Estra now.
Her name, Estra told them later, was Myrin; and he explained that he and she were associated solely because of their mutual interest in the same planet the Earth. Said Myrin: "You are accustomed to the idea of government. We, however, have outgrown it. "If you stop to think, you will agree that the purpose of government is to maintain peace, on the one hand, and to wage war, on the other.
The smile was gone, and his mouth was set and grim. "They'd catch us before we went a mile," he said, glancing at the infant, who had begun to cry, in a stifled, gasping way that tore at the nerves. "Estra!" Billie pleaded; but he turned away. The doctor strode up to him and gripped his shoulder. "What's the good, Estra? What can you accomplish even if you " The Venusian tapped his forehead.
