[A Honeymoon in Space by George Griffith]@TWC D-Link bookA Honeymoon in Space CHAPTER III 7/7
I was mad right through, and I'd made up my mind to do what others did--take a title and a big position, and have the outside as bright as I could get it, whatever the inside might be like. I'd made up my mind to be a society queen abroad, and a miserable woman at home--and, Lenox, thank God and you, that I wasn't!" Then there was another interlude, and at the end of it Redgrave said: "Wait till we've finished our honeymoon in space, and come back to earth.
You won't want any coronets then, although you'll have one, for all the lands of earth won't hold another woman like yourself--your own sweet self! Of course it doesn't now, but--there, you know what I mean. You'll have been to other worlds, you'll have made the round trip of the Solar System, so to say, and----" "And I think, dear, that is about promise of wonders enough, and of other things too--no, you are really quite too exacting.
I thought you brought me here to show me some of the wonders that this marvellous ship of yours can work." "Then just one more and I'll show you.
Now you stand up there on that step so that you can see all round, and watch with all your eyes, because you are going to see something that no woman ever saw before.".
