Prince no more than whispered it. He stood outside on the deck; the low window casement touched his waist. He leaned over it.
“He’s torturing Snap! Call out that you will yield.”
The thought had already been in my mind. Another scream from Snap chilled me with horror. I shouted,
“Miko! Stop!”
I rushed to the window and Prince gripped me.
“Louder!”
I called louder. “Miko! Stop!” My upflung voice mingled with Snap’s agony of protest. Then Miko heard me. His head and shoulders showed up there at the helio-room oval.
“You, Haljan?”
Prince shouted, “I have made him yield. He will obey you if you stop that torture.”
