But they seemed to be doing some admiring too. The redhead emitted a
most feminine sigh and said, "Isn't he _lovely_!"
"He certainly is," the brunette agreed. "Worth waiting five hundred
years for."
With sudden dismay I realized I was naked. I reddened and grabbed for a
cloth that had been draped over the somno-casket, and wrapped it around
myself. I felt a little bewildered by things; I hadn't expected to be
greeted by a pair of half-naked amazons when I woke.
The brunette nudged the other and said, "Let's get out of here with him
now, Phil. We won't fight over him."
"Good idea," the redhead responded. "If we keep on fighting over who
gets him, Her Majesty'll find out he's awake and take him away from
both of us. Let's go!"
They approached me and grabbed me firmly, one on each side. "Come on,
muscles," the one named Phil said. "Let's travel."
"Just a second," I said. "Who are you? Where are you taking me?" I
didn't feel like trusting myself to these two till I had my bearings.
"Don't worry about that, honey," Sam said. "We'll take good care of
you." She winked broadly and said, "Won't we, Phil?"
They started to propel me out the door of the chamber. I was still a
little too woozy to put up much of an argument, and they were both
substantial specimens who knew how to swing their weight around. Weak
as I was, I had no choice but to let them push me into the corridor.
"Where to?" Sam asked.
"To the Lower Quarters," Phil said. "There's a copter there, and
we--oh, oh! Here comes trouble!"
I glanced over my shoulder and saw a truly gigantic woman coming down
the corridor towards us. She looked about seven feet tall, a real
monster. She was wearing the usual trunks, plus some sort of jeweled
diadem dangling between at her bosom.
"Hold up there!" she bellowed. "Where are you three going? Where's the
guard on the Sleep Chamber?"
Phil and Sam didn't stop to make conversation. They tightened their
grips on my arm and started to run. I dragged helplessly for a couple
of steps, then got straightened away and began to run with them.
"Stop! Come back!" the big woman yelled--and she came roaring after
us. The floor seemed to shake as she thundered along the corridor.
We fled. I allowed myself to be dragged along by my two amazon captors,
with the third pounding away behind us. The corridor seemed to be
endless.
And suddenly it stopped being endless. There was a horde of women
coming up toward us from the other direction.
"The old cow's called the guards," Sam muttered. "We're caught, now!"
We were. The tide of female guards swept over us like a herd of cattle,
and abruptly I found myself in the midst of a vast heaving mass of
struggling women. At first I thought they were after Sam and Phil, who
had tried to steal me and failed--but the truth dawned only after I had
eluded the steel-like clutches of one powerful mademoiselle and fallen
right into another's arms.
