He led Seaton out of earshot of the others and said in a low voice: "It is no part of Nalboon's plan to kill the two women. They are so beautiful, so different from our Osnomian women, that he intends to keep them alive. Understand?" "Yes," returned Seaton grimly, his eyes turning hard, "I get you all right but what he'll do and what he thinks he'll do are two entirely different breeds of cats."
"I read Nalboon's ideas from the brain of that officer whom the Karfedix Seaton killed. He was a ladex of the guards an officer of about the same rank as one of your colonels. He was high in Nalboon's favor, and he was to have been in charge of the work of breaking into the Skylark and killing us all.
We were being taken to furnish sport for Nalboon's party by being fed to one of his captive kolono animals something like your earthly devilfish when the escort of battleships was overcome by those four karlono, the animals you saw, and one of them seized Nalboon's plane, in which we were prisoners. You killed the karlon, saving our lives as well as those of Nalboon and his party.
The other thirteen are fedo and fediro, or, as you would say, princes and princesses of the same nation. We were captured by one of Nalboon's raiding parties while upon a hunting trip, being overcome by some new, stupefying gas, so that we could not kill ourselves. As you know, Kondal and Mardonale have been at war for over ten thousand karkamo something more than six thousand years of your time.
