There are some scholars who hold that such a problem as this presages the coming of the end and the advent of the chosen. But others oppose this interpretation, for reasons purely material: for if the Bar Senestro should marry both queens it would make him the sole ruler of the Thomahlia.
It was not his intention, just at present, to tie himself down to anything that might prove compromising or restraining. "The name is familiar. Who is this Nervina?" "She is one of the queens. I thought My dear sir, she is one of the queens of Thomahlia, half Kospian, half D'Hartian; of the first royal line running through from the day of the Jarados." Chick cogitated for a moment.
That you should talk the Thomahlia language is no more strange than that Rhamda Avec, when he passed into your world, should speak your tongue." "We call our language English," supplied Watson. "It is the tongue of the Jarados and of myself." "Tell me of the Jarados, my lord!" with renewed eagerness. "In the other world what is he?" It was Chick's opportunity. By telling the simple truth about Dr.
Watson wondered just who this Jarados might be; but for the moment he went back to the previous question. "This Rhamda Avec: you were about to tell me about him. Let me have as much as I can understand, sir." "Ah, yes! The great Rhamda Avec. Perhaps you may recall him when your mind clears a little more. My dear sir, he is, or was, the chief of the Rhamdas of all the Thomahlia."
"What is the 'Thomahlia'?" "The Thomahlia! Why, it is called the world; our name for the world. It comprises, physically, land, water and air; politically, it embraces D'Hartia, Kospia and a few minor nations." "Who are the Rhamdas?"
It had seemed but that many minutes. "And I was unconscious " "All the time, my lord. Had we caught you immediately upon your coming, we could have brought you around within three days, but in the circumstances it was impossible to restore you before we did. You have been under the care of the greatest specialists in all Thomahlia." Geos himself had been one of these.
I am a spiritist; and if spiritism is truth, then the Jarados was genuine, and his prophecy is true. After all, my lord, it is not a case of legend, but of history. The Jarados came at a time of high civilisation, when men would see and understand him; he gave us his teaching in records, and imposed his laws upon the Thomahlia. Then he departed through the Spot of Life."
It was plain that the Thomahlia was blest with odd rulers. If the Bar Senestro was a priest, he was clearly still more of a soldier. The fiery challenge of the man struck an answering chord in Watson; he knew the time must come when he should weigh himself up against this Alexander, and it was anything but displeasing to him. "What must I say and do?" he asked the Rhamda Geos.
Doubtless the reader has noted advertisement in the papers, appealing to the authorities to report any one of Watson's description applying for a marriage licence. As for his two friends, Wendel and Fenton, together with the Aradna and the Nervina, they and MacPherson and the doctor absolutely vanished from all the knowledge, either of the Thomahlia or the earth.
He took off his shako and ran his hand through his mop of red hair. "'Tis aither th' luck of th' Irish, me lad, or of th' Scotch. Oi don't ken which Oi'm haff each but mostly 'tis th' virtoo av me bonny red hair." "Why?" "Because, leastways, in th' Thomahlia, there's always a dhrop av royalty in th' red-headed. Me bonnie top-knot has made me a fortune.
