They were neither prepared, however, for her appearance as
she came into the ballroom, for she was bedecked in a dress
daring to all; with the headgear of many aigretts, and bodice
of the breasts of hummingbirds, and a train on the skirt the
color of the royal robe of the Priests of Incal. When the
whole assembly beheld her descending the stairway, there was
awe and consternations shown in the face of everyone, and
especially in that of Stone and of Duo who stood in different
parts of the room; and the expression of each depicted that
which seemed to be going through each one's mind.
The brother, the first seemingly to gain control of self,
advances to meet her in her descent and escorts her to the
President and makes the formal introduction. She is then
left in his company.
Stone approaches the brother, as he leaves the group, and
questions him as to what Rena must mean in coming to the
ball in such an attire, not knowing himself what might be
the significance shown.
It is seen in the acts and countenance of Duo that he feels
she has apparently given in to his advances and that her
dress must be the answer, for she is wearing almost the
replica of the dress of the Bride of the Incal, and he
hastens to attempt to gain audience with her. But she turns
aside and prevents his direct approach in conversation, and
he in consternation turns to the veranda where he meets
Memri, who has been called by some of the natives who had
seen the entrance of Rena.
As Memri and Duo meet, the expression in the countenance of
Memri strikes something deep in the heart of Duo. He sees
there is something subtle in Memri's manner.
