Under The Moons Of Mars: A History And Anthology Of "the Scientific Romance" In The Munsey Magazines, 1912-1920 (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
POLARIS MAKES A PROMISE BOTH STOOD transfixed for a long moment—the man with the wonder that followed his anger, the woman with horror. Polaris drew a deep breath and stepped a hesitating pace forward. The woman threw out her hands in a gesture of loathing. "Murderer!" she said in a low, deep voice, choked with grief. "Oh, my brother; my poor brother!" She threw herself on the snow, sobbing terribly. Rooted to the spot by her repelling gesture, Polaris watched her. So one of the men had been her brother. Which one? His naturally clear mind began to reassert itself. "Lady," he called softly. He did not attempt to go nearer to her. She raised her face from her arms, crept to her knees, and stared at him stonily. "Well, murderer, finish your work," she said. "I am ready. Ah, what had he—what had they done that you should take their lives?" "Listen to me, lady," said Polaris quietly.
