The Indulgence of Negu Mah
*
In his garden, Negu Mah, the Callisto uranium merchant, sat sipping aplatinum mug of molkai with his guest, Sliss the Venusian.
Nanlo, his wife, pushing before her the small serving cart with itsplatinum molkai decanter, paused for an instant as she entered theshell of pure vitrite which covered the garden, giving it the illusionof out-of-doorness.
Negu Mah sat at his ease, his broad, merry, half-Oriental facegood-humored, his features given a ruddy tinge by the light of risingJupiter, the edge of whose sphere was beginning to dominate thehorizon.
