The Doctor held out his hand, and the Oroid, hesitating a moment in doubt, finally reached up and grasped it. "Are you from Rogers?" asked the Doctor. The Oroid looked puzzled. Then he turned and flung out his arm in a sweeping gesture towards the deeper woods before them. "Rogers Master," he said.
For me they will believe, a woman, Oroid all of blood for they know women do not lie." She stopped and the fire in her eyes changed to a look of gentle pleading. "If you will but let me try," she finished. "My husband please." The Chemist glanced at his friends who sat astonished by this flow of eager, impassioned words.
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.
Alone I must do this. Ah, do you not know they say these stranger devils with their magic come for evil? And you too, must you not forget, once were a stranger just as they. That the people know that they remember. "But I I Lylda a woman of the Oroids I am full-blooded Oroid, no stranger. And they will believe me a woman for they know I cannot lie.
"If Oroid women were as I have heard my brother talk of some of yours, this world of ours would soon be full of evil." "You are different," the Very Young Man said quickly. "You and Lylda." "The women here, they have kept the evil out of life," the girl went on. "It is their duty their responsibility to their race. Your good women they have not always governed as we have. Why is that?"
"I think that a good idea," agreed the Doctor. "Rogers described these Oroid men as being some six inches shorter than himself, on the average." "This one might be a pygmy, for all we know," said the Very Young Man. "We might chance it that he's of normal size," said the Doctor, smiling. "I think we should make ourselves smaller."
"In the size we are now, which you must remember is several thousand times Oroid height, it will be only a short distance to a point where as we grow we can move gradually to the centre of the circular pit. That huge inclined plane slides down out of it, you remember. Once in the pit, with its walls closing in upon us, we can at the proper moment get out of it about as I did before."
"Let's eat here," the Very Young Man suggested, "and take a sleep; we're about all in." "We ought to get larger first," protested the Big Business Man. They were at this time about four times Oroid size; the forest trees, so huge when last they had seen them, now seemed only rather large saplings. "Some one of us must stay awake," the Doctor said. "But there do not seem to be any Oroids up here."
In a few minutes the action of the drug was over, and they found themselves not more than a head taller than the Oroid. In this size he seemed to like them better, or at least he stood in far less awe of them, for now he seized them by the arms and pulled them forward vigorously.
Yet as a matter of fact, your coming was of vital importance, not only to me and my family, but probably to the future welfare of the entire Oroid nation. "We are approaching a crisis here with which I must confess I have felt myself unable to cope.
