Nebulosis, Sir Amber Opaque, and
And Lord Cornicore.
I should explain to you, dear friends, the meaning of these names, for you might be inclined to think that doctor somewhat cloudy, Sir Clear as Amber, and Lord Hart of Horn might indicate that they were more or less muddled in their intellects.
Far from it.
I have already stated to you they were three of the very wisest men in the land of the transparent folk, and the lack of clearness indicated by their names had reference solely to their eyes.
Now as you know, the learned men of our upper world have a different look from ordinary folk.
They are stoop shouldered, shaggy eyebrowed.
Long haired purse lipped near sighted shambling gated
Well the only effect that long years of deep study had upon the Mikamenkis was to rob their beautiful crystal like eyes of more or less their clearness.
Now I think you'll understand why these three learned Mikamenkis were named as they were.
At any rate, they were, in spite of their strange names, three most charming gentlemen, and no matter how many times I might ask the same question over again, they were always ready with an answer, quite as polite as the one first given me.
They did everything that I had a right possibly to expect them to do.
Indeed, there was but one single thing which I would have fain had them do, and that was to let me look through them.
This they most carefully avoided doing, and no matter how warmed up they might become in their descriptions, and no matter how on the alert I was to catch the coveted peep, the inevitable black fan was always in the way.
Naturally.
Not only they, but all the transparent folk felt a repugnance to have a perfect stranger look through them, and I couldn't blame them for it either.
I despaired of ever getting a chance of seeing a human heart beating away for dear life, for all the world just like the swinging of a pendulum or the vibration of a balance wheel.
End of Chapter nine
Chapter ten A brief account of my conversations with Dr.
Nebulosis, Sir Amber Opaque, and Lord Cornicor, who tell me many things that I never knew before, for which I was very grateful.
