Chapter XIII
THE LOLOS FLOWER We stepped back from the wall. Brutar led us onward through the twilight. We passed globes translucent with light from within; heard the hum and hiss of work going on--but Brutar would not let us enter. We passed a dark bowl of enormous size, like a great globe cut in half. We encircled its rim.
