Those who obviously at first were friendly appeared now quite at ease; the others, with their lessening terror, were visibly more hostile. Once Lylda mentioned the name of Targo. A scattered shout came up from the crowd; the apelike man shouted out something to those near him, and then, leaving his knoll disappeared. As Lylda continued, the hostile element in the crowd grew more insistent.
"For several weeks before Lylda found me sleeping by the river's edge, she had made almost a daily pilgrimage to that vicinity. A maidenly premonition, a feeling that had first come to her several years before, told her of my coming, and her father's knowledge and scientific beliefs had led her to the outer surface of the world as the direction in which to look.
Going back, I could only imagine the world as closing in upon me, crushing me to death unless I could find a larger space immediately above into which I could climb. "And as I talked with Lylda about this and tried to make her understand what I hardly understood myself, I gradually was brought to realize the full gravity of the danger confronting us.
"Some Christmas," commented the Very Young Man looking around. "Where's the holly and stuff?" "Oh, we've got it all right, don't you worry," said the Banker. "And mistletoe," said Lylda, twinkling. "For you, Jack." Eena again stood in the doorway and said something to her mistress. "The tree is ready," said Lylda. The Chemist rose to his feet. "Come on, everybody; let's go trim it."
The beach crawled with their struggling forms, only the spot where Lylda had fallen was black and still. "She's all right," said the Doctor after a moment, bending over Lylda. A cry from Oteo made him straighten up quickly. Out over the horizon, towards Orlog, there appeared the dim shape of a gigantic human form, and behind it others, faint and blurred against the stars!
And all too, who in him believe, and who for him want freedom, they shall come too. Let Oteo tell them magic shall be performed and Lylda will speak with them. "Make haste, my husband, for now I go to change my dress. Not as the Master's woman will I speak, but as Lylda Oroid woman woman of the people." And with a flashing glance, she turned and swiftly left the balcony.
He it was who told me about the physical conformation of his world, and he seemed to comprehend my explanation of mine. "That night it rained a heavy, torrential downpour, such as we have in the tropics. Lylda and I had been talking for some time, and, I must confess, I had been making love to her ardently.
My words seemed almost as unintelligible to her as hers to me, except that occasionally she would divine my meaning, clapping her hands in childish delight. I made out that she lived at a considerable distance, and that her name was Lylda. Finally she pulled me by the hand and led me away with a proprietary air that amused and, I must admit, pleased me tremendously.
I was so much interested in the strange scenes opening before me that I remarked little of the distance we traveled. Nor did I question Lylda but seldom. I was absorbed in the complete similarity between this and my own world in its general characteristics, and yet its complete strangeness in details. "I felt not the slightest fear.
Then he turned again to Lylda's intent, pleading face, regarding her tenderly. "You are very fine, little mother of my son," he said gently, lapsing for a moment into her own style of speech. "It could do no harm," he added thoughtfully "and perhaps " "Let her try it," said the Doctor. "No harm could come to her." "No harm to me could come," said Lylda quickly. "And I shall make them believe.
