His baby face was ludicrously sad and solemn.
Yes, sir stranger, said he, in a low musical voice, thou art indeed in the land of the Micamenkis Micomen, in the land of the transparent folk, called also Goggle Land.
But if I should show thee my heart, thou wouldst see that I am deeply pained to think that I should have been the first to bid thee welcome, for know, sir stranger, that thou speakest with Master Hold Soul, the court depressor, the saddest man in all Goggle Land, and by the way, sir, permit me to offer thee a pair of goggles for thyself, and also a pair for thy four footed companion.
For our intense white light would blind thee both in a few days.
I thanked Master Coldsole very warmly for the goggles, and proceeded to set one pair astride my nose, and to tie the other in front of Bulgar's eyes.
I then, in most courteous manner, informed Master Coldsole who I was, and begged him to explain the cause of his great sadness.
Well, thou must know, little baron, said he, after I had taken a seat beside him on the bench, that we, the loving subjects of Queen Galaxa, whose rules are

Excuse these tears, living as we do in this beautiful world so unlike the one you inhabit, which our wise men tell us is built strange to say, on the very outside of the earth's crust, where it is most exposed to full full sweep of blinding snow, freezing blast, pelting hail, drowning rain, and choking dust.

By nature's own hands builded, where disease is unknown, and where our hearts run down like clocks that may have but one winding, we are prone alas to be too happy, to laugh too much, to spend too much time in idle gayety, chattering the time away, like thoughtless children amused with baubles, delighted with tinsel nothings.
Know then, little Baron, that my
Mine is the business to check this gaiety.
Put an end to this childish glee to depress our people's spirits, lest they run too high.
Hence my garb of inky hue, my rueful countenance, my frequent outline of tears, my voice ever attuned to sadness.
Excuse me, little baron, my fan slip then didst see through me?
I would not have thee see my heart today, for some way or other I cannot bring it to a slow pace.
It is dreadfully unruly.
I assured him that I had not seen through him as yet.
And now dear friends, I must explain that by the laws of the Micomenkes, each man, woman, and child must wear in their garments a heart shaped opening on their breast directly over their hearts, with a corresponding one at the back, so that under certain conditions when the law allows it, each may have the right to take a look at his neighbor's heart and see exactly how it is beating, whether fast or slow, whether throbbing or leaping, or whether pulsating naturally.
