There
followed
a
noise
like
the
subtle
movement
of
the
wards
of
a
well-oiled
lock
.
And
then
there
appeared
before
me
,
hanging
as
it
seemed
in
an
immensity
of
black
,
a
thin
bright
line
.
"
Look
!
"
whispered
Cavor
very
softly
.
"
What
is
it
?
"
"
I
do
n't
know
.
"
We
stared
.
The
thin
bright
line
became
a
band
,
and
broader
and
paler
.
It
took
upon
itself
the
quality
of
a
bluish
light
falling
upon
a
white-washed
wall
.
It
ceased
to
be
parallel-sided
;
it
developed
a
deep
indentation
on
one
side
.
I
turned
to
remark
this
to
Cavor
,
and
was
amazed
to
see
his
ear
in
a
brilliant
illumination
--
all
the
rest
of
him
in
shadow
.
I
twisted
my
head
round
as
well
as
my
bonds
would
permit
.
"
Cavor
,
"
I
said
,
"
it
's
behind
!
"
His
ear
vanished
--
gave
place
to
an
eye
!
Suddenly
the
crack
that
had
been
admitting
the
light
broadened
out
,
and
revealed
itself
as
the
space
of
an
opening
door
.
Beyond
was
a
sapphire
vista
,
and
in
the
doorway
stood
a
grotesque
outline
silhouetted
against
the
glare
.
We
both
made
convulsive
efforts
to
turn
,
and
failing
,
sat
staring
over
our
shoulders
at
this
.
My
first
impression
was
of
some
clumsy
quadruped
with
lowered
head
.
Then
I
perceived
it
was
the
slender
pinched
body
and
short
and
extremely
attenuated
bandy
legs
of
a
Selenite
,
with
his
head
depressed
between
his
shoulders
.
He
was
without
the
helmet
and
body
covering
they
wear
upon
the
exterior
.
He
was
a
blank
,
black
figure
to
us
,
but
instinctively
our
imaginations
supplied
features
to
his
very
human
outline
.
I
,
at
least
,
took
it
instantly
that
he
was
somewhat
hunchbacked
,
with
a
high
forehead
and
long
features
.
