A quote:
"This was the place where Red John Hameward actually did rescue
a captive princess. True, she had green hair and feathery antennae,
nor was there any possibility of issue between her species and our own.
But the humanlikeness, and exceeding gratitude of the Vashtunari -
who had just been in process of being conquered - did much to cheer
lonely Englishmen. Whether or not the prohibitions of Leviticus are
applicable is still being hotly debated."
