"What's the idea about her and the space-car?" "If the car proves reliable we might actually take her out into space and give her the choice between telling and walking back. She has nerve enough here on earth to die before giving up, but I don't believe any human being would be game to go it alone on a strange world. She'd wilt." "I believe you're right, Perkins.
Thus the hours wore by Perkins dead; Margaret still unconscious; Dorothy lying in her seat, her thoughts a formless prayer, buoyed up only by her faith in God and in her lover; DuQuesne self-possessed, smoking innumerable cigarettes, his keen mind grappling with its most desperate problem, grimly fighting until the very last instant of life while the powerless space-car fell with an appalling velocity, faster and faster; falling toward that cold and desolate monster of the heaven.

Nothing but a sun could be big enough to raise all this disturbance, and I can't see any close enough to be afraid of, can you?" "No, and I cannot see the Steel space-car, either. Look sharp."
