Instantly the four visitors felt that they had a complete understanding of the languages and customs of both Mardonale, the nation in which they now were, and of Kondal, to which nation the slaves belonged, the only two civilized nations upon Osnome.
Not only have they given us a boon that will make their names revered throughout the nation as long as Kondal shall exist, but they have also been the means of showing us plainly that the First Cause is upon our side, that our age-old institution of honor is in truth the only foundation upon which can be built a race fitted to survive.
In due time they approached Osnome, and DuQuesne studied the planet carefully through a telescope before he ventured down into the atmosphere. "This half of it used to be Mardonale. I suppose it's all Kondal now. No, there's a war on down there yet at least, there's a disturbance of some kind, and on this planet that means war."
He then fastened about his left wrist the Order of Kondal, the highest order of the nation. He then clasped about Crane's wrist a heavily-jeweled, peculiarly-ornamented disk wrought of a deep ruby-red metal, supported by a heavy bracelet of the same material, the most precious metal of Osnome.
I recognize things all right after they happen, but I can't seem to figure ahead it's like a dimly-remembered something that flashes up as soon as mentioned. I get too many and too new ideas at once. I know, though, that the Osnomians have defenses against all these things except this last stunt of the charged guns. That must be the new one that Mardonale stole from Kondal.
What looks like a kind of sloppy greenish black to us may in fact, does look a pale pink to them." "Are Kondal and Mardonale the only two nations upon Osnome?" asked Crane. "The only civilized nations, yes. Osnome is divided into two great and almost equal continents, separated by a wide ocean which encircles the globe. One is Kondal, the other Mardonale.
They know that we, as escaped captives, would be without harness or trappings, and are meeting us in the same state." Seaton brought the vessel to the dock near the little group, and the Earthly visitors remained inside their vessel while the rulers of Kondal welcomed the sons and daughters they had given up for dead.
No scientist upon Osnome has ever had an inkling that intra-atomic energy exists. Nalboon cannot understand the power, but he solved the means of liberating it at a glance and that glance sealed your death-warrants. With the Skylark, he could conquer Kondal, and to assure the downfall of my nation he would do anything.
Kondal would go the same way. Don't kid yourself, Dimples don't be a child. War up there is no species of pink tea, believe me half of my brain has been through thirty years of Osnomian warfare, and I know precisely what I'm talking about. Let's take a vote. Personally, I'm in favor of Osnome. Mart?" "Osnome." "Dottie? Peggy?" Both remained silent for some time, then Dorothy turned to Margaret.
"It doesn't look as though we are ever going to find out he's sure a bear-cat!" replied Seaton, as the karlon, unable to ascend further, dropped in a slanting dive toward the lowlands of Kondal the terrible, swampy region covered with poisonous vegetation and inhabited by frightful animals and even more frightful savages. The monster neared the ground with ever-increasing speed.
