Beautiful pleasure-planes soared and dipped and wheeled like giant gulls; and, cleaving their stately way through the numberless lesser craft; immense multiplane passenger liners partially supported by helicopter screws turned aside from their scheduled courses to pay homage to the Kofedix of Kondal.
Upon the following kokam, immediately after the first meal, the full party from the Earth boarded the Skylark and accompanied the Kofedix to the copper smelter. Dunark himself directed the work of preparing the charges and the molds, though he was continually being interrupted by wireless messages in code and by messengers bearing tidings too important to trust into the air.
During this conversation they had descended to the ground and had reached the palace, after traversing grounds even more sumptuous and splendid than those surrounding the palace of Nalboon. Inside the palace walls the Kofedix himself led the guests to their rooms, accompanied by the major-domo and an escort of guards.
Seaton remonstrated, and Dunark went on: "No, Seaton, you have done your share, and more. I am upon familiar ground now, and can do the work alone better than if you were to help me. I will call upon you, however, before we reach the dock." The Kofedix led the way, his pistol resting lightly against his hip, and at the first turn of the corridor they came full upon four guards.
"In one way I see that that is true," replied the Kofedix with a puzzled look. "I cannot understand your government at all but the inventor of the Skylark must certainly rank as a Karfedix." As he spoke, a smile of understanding passed over his face and he continued: "I see. Your title is Doctor of Philosophy, which must mean that you are the Karfedix of Knowledge of the Earth." "No, no.
As the Skylark approached the top of the dock, all the escorting vessels dropped away and Crane saw that instead of the brilliant assemblage he had expected to see upon the landing-place there was only a small group of persons, as completely unadorned as were those in the car. In answer to his look of surprise, the Kofedix said, with deep feeling: "My father, mother, and the rest of the family.
"That was a wonderful bluff, Dick!" exclaimed the Kofedix in English as soon as Nalboon and his guards had disappeared. "That was exactly the tone to take with him, too you've sure got him guessing!" "It seemed to get him, all right, but I'm wondering how long it'll hold him. I think we'd better make a dash for the Skylark right now, before he has time to think it over, don't you?"
"Here!" came the voice of the Kofedix from the speaker. "Are you generating?" "No just called to see if you were. What do you make of it?" "Nothing as yet. Better close up?" "Yes, edge over this way and I'll come over to meet you. Leave your negative as it is we'll be stopped directly. Whatever it is, it's dead ahead. It's a long ways off yet, but we'd better get organized.
Have you men any objections to wearing the rings during the ceremony? You may discard them later if you wish and still keep the marriage valid." "Not I! I'll wear mine all my life," responded Seaton earnestly, and Crane expressed the same thought. "There is only one more thing," added the Kofedix. "That is, about the mental examination.
"Dunark here thinks that you two girls look good enough to eat or words to that effect." Both girls flushed slightly, the purplish-black color suffusing their faces. They glanced at each other and Dorothy voiced the thought of both as she said: "How can you, Kofedix Dunark? In this horrible light we both look perfectly dreadful.
