Do not suppose we are idle. There is work for us, but
with our abundant strength and continual good health it is never a burden.

We had now finished breakfast and were walking through the house. Zenith
was a beautiful woman, although, from our point of view, of such generous
proportions. She possessed the perfect form and the vigor and health of
all the Martians. She was, moreover, graceful, modest, and winning. But

qualities also, and Zenith exhibited the same strength of mind and the
same devotion to lofty aims as her husband. In their equipment for the
duties of life and in the ability to do valiant service for their kind
they seemed equal. Evidently neither had a monopoly of any class of
advantages, either of mind, body, or estate.
