The O'Keefe's astonishment was complete; his jaw dropped; collapse seemed imminent. "We are?" he gasped. "When?" he stammered fatuously. "Why, when the Mother drew us together before her; when she put her hands on our heads after we had made the promise! Didn't you understand that?" asked the handmaiden wonderingly.
We followed, slipping, sliding along the glassy surface; and I, for one, had a lively apprehension of what our fate would be should that enormous mass rise before we had emerged! We reached the end; crept out of the narrow triangle that was its exit. We stood upon a wide ledge carpeted with a thick yellow moss. I looked behind and clutched O'Keefe's arm.
his queer visnomy his bewildering costume all the strange things which he had raked together his serpentine rod swagging about in his pocket Cleopatra's tear, and the rest of his relics O'Keefe's wild farce, and his wilder commentary till the passion of laughter, like grief in excess, relieved itself by its own weight, inviting the sleep which in the first instance it had driven away.
Put me down, I say!" The O'Keefe's voice was both outraged and angry; squinting around I saw him struggling violently to get to his feet. The Akka only held him tighter, booming comfortingly, peering down into his flushed face inquiringly. "But, Larry darlin'!" Lakla's tones were well, maternally surprised "you're stiff and sore, and Kra can carry you quite easily."
We made our way up the steps, through the outer enclosures and into the central square, I confess to a fire of scientific curiosity and eagerness tinged with a dread that O'Keefe's analysis might be true. Would we find the moving slab and, if so, would it be as Throckmartin had described?
"Ranadae, yes," I answered. "But from the Stegocephalia; of the order Ecaudata " Never such a complete indignation as was in O'Keefe's voice as he interrupted. "What do you mean fossils and Stego whatever it is?" he asked. "She was a girl, a wonder girl a real girl, and Irish, or I'm not an O'Keefe!" "We were talking about the frog-woman, Larry," I said, conciliatingly.
Under that look Yolara stirred impatiently, sensing, I know, its meaning. "Why do you look at me so?" she cried. An expression of bewilderment passed over Olaf's face. "I do not understand," he said in English. I caught a quickly repressed gleam in O'Keefe's eyes. He knew, as I knew, that Olaf must have understood. But did Marakinoff? Apparently he did not. But why was Olaf feigning ignorance?
And consider, Larree, if the handmaiden, the choya comes, I can vanish so" the mocking head disappeared, burst forth again "and slay her with the Keth or bid my people seize her and bear her to the Shining One!" Tiny beads of sweat stood out on O'Keefe's forehead, and I knew he was thinking not of himself, but of Lakla. "What do you want with me, Yolara?" he asked hoarsely.
Her own azure eyes sparkled as brightly as they, and I noted again in their clear depths the half-eager approval as they rested upon O'Keefe's lithe, well-knit figure and his keen, clean-cut face. The high-arched, slender feet rested upon soft sandals whose gauzy withes laced the exquisitely formed leg to just below the dimpled knee.
