"Ye look very strange and excited, Rolla, but not mad. Tell me again
what thou didst see and hear, that I may compare it with what ye
have already told."
Rolla began again; and meanwhile, on the earth, the doctor's
companions telepathically congratulated him on his success. He had
put the great idea into a fertile mind.
Presently they began to look for other minds. It seemed wise to get
the notion into as many Sanusian heads as possible. For some hours
this search proceeded; but in the end, after getting in touch with
some forty or fifty individuals in as many different parts of the
planet, they concluded that they had first hit upon the most
advanced specimens that Sanus afforded; the only ones, in fact,
whose intellect were strong enough to appreciate the value of what
they were told. The investigators were obliged to work with Rolla,
Dulnop, and Corrus only; upon these three depended the success of
their unprecedented scheme.
Rolla continued to keep watch upon Supreme; and toward morning--that
is, morning in that particular part of Sanus--the architect was
rewarded by catching the bee in a still drowsy condition.
