worry that a third sister may come into our
house!"
58 "He may have a THIRD?" gasped Spearina.
59 "Yes," explained Valley Blossom, "under Hashon Law a man may have
three wives!"
60 A brightness came into Spearina's eyes. "Three!" she whispered,
"What a glorious, beautiful number, three! So much more pleasing than
two!" Spearos shot her an angry look, but she merely laughed, leading
North's wives down the steps. "I want you," she insisted, "to sit on
either side of me. There is much I wish to ask."
61 After the lush banquet was over, Valley Blossom spoke to North as
they were heading home to the space station The Peepians had turned
over to them. "Be careful, my mate! " she warned, "This young child is
a huntress and you are the game!"
62 North laughed. "She is just a child with an infatuation for
something different and strange. It will soon pass."
63 "If it does," said Valley Blossom, "I will be greatly surprised, I
will be greatly surprised, indeed!"
