Another
moment
or
two
and
he
had
been
borne
up
through
its
trap-door
opening,
was
standing
in
a
dark
space
bounded
by
solid
metal
walls.
Then
he
was
thrust
into
a
cylinder
with
several
of
his
tiny
guards,
shot
swiftly
upward.
A
door
opened
as
they
came
to
rest,
and
he
was
led
out
into
a
vast
court
of
gleaming
amber
crystal.
Something
like
a
taxi
slid
up,
with
irridescent
planes,
and
he
was
bundled
into
it,
whirled
away
again.
Down
broad,
gleaming
avenues
they
passed,
where
similar
traffic
flowed
densely,
but
under
marvelous
control.
Towering
skyscrapers
loomed
to
right
and
left.
Tier
on
tier
of
upper
and
lower
boulevards
revealed
themselves,
all
crowded
with
automotive
and
pedestrian
activity.
At
length
a
stupendous
concourse
was
reached.
Thousands
of
these
taxis
and
similar
vehicles
were
parked
along
its
broad
flanks,
while
literal
swarms
of
diminutive
individuals
circulated
to
and
fro.
Assisted
from
the
vehicle
that
had
brought
him
to
this
obvious
center
of
the
disc's
activities.
Kendrick
was
led
into
a
monumental
structure
of
jade-green
stone
that
towered
a
full
hundred,
stories
above
the
street
level.
There
he
was
escorted
into
another
of
those
projectilelike
elevators,
shot
up,
up--till
at
length
it
came
to
rest.
The
door
opened
and
he
was
led
out
into
a
small
lobby
of
the
same
amber
crystal
he
had
observed
before.
By
now
his
guards
had
diminished
to
two,
but
he
no
longer
made
any
effort
to
escape.
Wherever
this
amazing
adventure
might
lead,
he
was
resolved
to
follow
it
through.
