Gentola—Do you think our Earth folk will ever grow equally honest?
De L'Ester—It is to be hoped that they may. Certainly, if our fair planet may continue to hospitably entertain them for an indefinite length of time they may improve their ways of thinking and, as a man thinketh, so is the man.
George—Dano will journey by Special Transport. Shall we see him off?
De L'Ester—Yes, and then Gentola̤ must embark on our air transport which will bear her across millions of miles in less time than Dano will journey to Dao. Aye, in less time than will be consumed in his passage between the Galarēsa̤ and the station. He has made his adieux and is entering a Motor conveyance. We will precede him and his friends.
Gentola—I wonder if our Earth folk will ever have such carriages? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven passengers in it, and it moves off so silently, so swiftly that it must be a pleasure to ride in it. What beautifully paved streets, and how perfectly clean they are.
Oh, dear, I keep thinking of Dano. I wish I might comfort him. I do not understand why there need be such misery of one kind and another. If I were——
De L'Ester—Pardon me for interrupting you, but here is the station and the conveyance approaches. Ah, Dr. Vyonda̤ will accompany Dano who, as you have remarked, seems dazed.
Here is the special transport and a luxurious one it is. No, we cannot accompany the sorrowful youth. We have much to show to your inquiring eyes before you shall be taken to the capitol. Then, too, affairs are not in readiness for our presence there, but, ere long, they will be.
The Transport is rising and Dano and the doctor are waving adieux to their friends. To you we offer a like courtesy. George and Inez will again assist you back to Earth. One week hence we will come for you. In the meantime, that you may renew your vital energy, live as much as possible in the open air.
