We had miscalculated the Time-change of the vehicle. Our purpose had
been to strike this realm of the Inner Surface at a point in Time which
to Brett would be four years. But now we found it six months only.
Brett smiled. "I'm glad you didn't postpone your arrival. You've no
idea how pleased I am to have you--tonight of all nights."
We had not yet seen Leela, or her father. Brett said that Leela would
be up presently to greet us. The city was excited over our coming. A
crowd was gathered in the street before the house; Brett had made them
a brief speech; Frannie, Martt and I had stood at the parapet and waved
to them.
Then Brett had spoken of a younger sister of Leela's. Her name was
Zelea--they called her Zee.
