Cries of "Order, order," "withdraw," "apologise," resounded on every
side.

"I cannot apologise for the truth," retorted Gazen hotly.

"Mr. President," continued the pugnacious and imperturbable Fossil, "I
venture to submit that the preposterous assertions we have just heard
are better adapted to a meeting of the Fellows of Colney Hatch than of
this Society, and I beg to move that our unfortunate friend be called
upon to leave the meeting in charge of some responsible person, who will
conduct him safely to his home, and deliver him into the custody of his
friends."

"Come on! They're a pack of fools!" cried Gazen to me hoarsely, as,
followed by the jeers of his companions, he arose and left the room.

I have only to add that Professor Gazen and Miss Carmichael are about
to be married. For myself, as soon as the ceremony is over I shall
return to Venus and Alumion.
