THE BRILLIANT LIGHTS OF THE INTERIOR FLOORS, EACH ITS OWN RAUCOUS AND TEEMING CITY, FLICKER PAST. . . .

WE ARE BOUND FOR THE MUSEUM OF MAN, IN THE LOWEST FLOORS OF THE PYRAMID.

THE YOUNG MEN BESIDE ME ARE EAGER FOR BATTLE. . . .

THOUGH BATTLE THEY HAVE NEVER KNOWN

THEY ARE LIKE SO MANY YOUNG MEN I HAVE LED, YOUNG MEN WHO HAD WATCHED THE ENEMY FROM STOUT WALLS. . . .

AND WERE NOT LACKING IN SPIRIT WHEN THE TIME CAME FOR THEM TO DEFEND THEIR HOME. . .
