Although Foedric was so much younger than Thorwald, he was taller and larger every way a magnificent specimen of a magnificent race.
Now Foedric increased our speed and showed us how easily he could sail in any direction and at any rate he pleased, explaining to us the mechanism by which we were upheld and propelled, and also the way in which the current of electricity was generated and applied.
Not the company of their chosen friends nor the presence of strangers from a distant world caused them the slightest embarrassment, as they spoke from time to time their words of love, simple words to other listeners, but full of meaning to themselves. "Say that again, Antonia," spoke Foedric. "Why do you ask me to repeat it so often?
I did not wait for Foedric to answer, but continued: "And still a short time ago you said you loved me." "Well, is that any wonder, after what you have done for me?" "But do you love us both at once?" "I do." "And do you love Foedric as much as you do me?" "Certainly. Why shouldn't I? And now let me ask you a question. Do you love me?" "With all my heart."
And then, of course, people in that advanced condition, did not wear out in a few years as they did on the earth. As for her size, she was rather small for a Martian, and I, living under new conditions, would certainly take a start before many days, and no doubt become as large as Foedric, almost.
It is of great value to us in our study of your remarkable planet. How wonderfully God has adapted everything to your comfort and well-being!" Thorwald smiled in appreciation of the doctor's final words, but before he had time to speak we were a little startled by the red voice of Foedric, calling out: "The moon! Look!" It was nothing new for any of us now to look at our old moon.
I wondered if this was always to be the history of my wooing an hour of the supremest happiness, followed so speedily by a period of such anguish. I could not possibly talk on any other subject, and so I said to Antonia: "They seem well pleased with each other's society. Are you not afraid Foedric will lose his heart to her?" "My friend," she replied, "we never even think of such things as that.
We watched it in silence for a while and saw it mount the eastern sky, and I think all of us except Foedric had the same thought, that it appeared to be much nearer than usual. Foedric had seen it before from the same height, and knew when he called our attention to it that we were going to be surprised.
Theoretically she might transgress, but practically it was all but impossible. Hers, then, was a truly noble character, and when she gave her love to Foedric he had good reason to be proud of the gift. Nor did she defraud others of their due, but her heart was open to every proper call. Such was Antonia, one whom we could in some degree appreciate, although so far above us.
As an example of this power, if you will excuse me, Doctor, I will tell you that your voice is dark blue, while yours," he continued, turning to me, "is yellow. I will ask Foedric if I am correct in my impressions." "Quite correct," answered Foedric.
