"I see." She nodded slowly. "The old saying about the pleasure of anticipation outweighing that of attainment."
"You should know. You Jursans and your scientific renaissance, your goal of contacting Terra again."
He beckoned to Wilkins and the two guards. They ran eagerly across the grass.
"You see?" he snorted. "Sometimes I almost wish they would ignore me!"
He looked at her and saw the blue eyes achieve their knowing, amused smile once more.
"That's right," he said, smiling back. "Now I shall have something to keep my thoughts from becoming dull and bored. A man needs some impossible dream for moments when he wants to relax."
Wilkins panted up, trying to look alert and willing.
"The unattainable Lady Daphne will accompany us to our capital," said Vyrtl. "Make the necessary arrangements."
He enjoyed the way his aide covered up a momentary bewilderment.

End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Envoy, Her, by Horace Brown Fyfe
Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself.
