Furiously it was not without its effect, and from that moment I could see that the Mikamenkis were inclined to take a more serious view of my arrival in their city, although it was only Cold Soul's presence that kept them from bursting out into fits of violent laughter.
Above the portals of the Queen's palace there were large openings hewn in the rock for the purpose of admitting light into the royal apartments, but these windows, if they may be called such, were hung with silken curtains of delicate colours, so that the light which entered the throne room was tempered and softened.
The room itself was likewise hung with silken stuffs, which gave it a look of oriental splendour.
But never in my travels among strange peoples of faraway lands had my eyes ever rested upon any work of art that equaled the crystal throne, upon which sat Galaxa, Queen of the Mikamenkis.
In the upper world, most diligent search had never been able to unearth a piece of rock crystal more than about three feet in diameter.

Not a tear fell to obscure the crystal clearness of his eyes.
Then he began chanting a sort of song which was intended to have a depressing influence on the wild mirth of the Mikamenkis.
I can only recollect one verse of this solemn chant of the court depressor.
