"Should you, in recognition of your remarkable valor, ferocity, and prowess, be considered by Tal Hajus as worthy of his service you may be taken into the community and become a full-fledged Tharkian. Until we reach the headquarters of Tal Hajus it is the will of Lorquas Ptomel that you be accorded the respect your acts have earned you.
The Lord High Cockalorum at Nynee Tal, Sir Somebody Thingmajig, I am speaking of years ago did not like him, I believe; but nobody thought any the worse of him for this; and although he continued to be a Collector until the shades of evening, when all his contemporaries had retired into the Dreamland of Commissionerships, he still loved and was loved; and to the very last he read his French novels and quoted Horace, sitting peacefully on the bank while the stream of promotion rolled on, knowing well that it would roll on in omne ævum, and not caring a jot whether it did, or did not.
From the pass over this range a very fine view is obtainable. To the north the snowy range stretches, and between it and the pass lie 60 miles of mountain and valley.

"Oh, shut up, Johnny," said Yank; "let the man tell his story. Of course he didn't have the money in his pocket. How did you get it, Tal?"
"And the melodies of Handel, are they tunes?" Lady Bar. "They are! They are!" Ips. "And the 'Russian Anthem, and the 'Marseillaise, and 'Ah, Perdona'?" Tal. "And 'Yankee Doodle'?" Lady Bar. "So that Sir Henry, who prided himself on his ignorance, has a wide field for its dominion." Tal. "All good violin players do like me; they prelude, not play tunes." Ips.
"Now is no time, Yolara, for one's own desires. This is my counsel. At the end of the three tal Lakla will come for our answer. Your men will be in ambush and they will slay her and her escort quickly with the Keth. But not till that is done must the three be slain and then quickly. With Lakla dead we shall go forth to the Silent Ones and I promise you that I will find the way to destroy them!"
