"And of course," drawled Laura Polk, she of the irrepressible spirits and what Mrs. Cupp called "flamboyant" hair, "she will come riding up to the Hall on her trusty pinto pony (whatever kind of pony that is), with a gun at her belt and swinging a lariat. She will yell for Dr. Beulah to come forth, and the minute the darling appears this Rude Rhoda from the Rolling Prairie will proceed to rope our dear preceptress and bear her off captive to her lair--" [mehr]

"What were you doing in Mr. Olsens office Rahnee!?" "Nothing he asked for me Mrs. Olsen I promise". Mrs.Olsen looked at me with her bold green eyes. Her long brown hair hung down her back and her bold red lipstick scared the hell out of me. She gripped the belt tighter to her hands as she grabbed my chin and forced me to look into her surreptitious eyes. "Tell me the truth Rahnee!" "I promise Mrs. Olsen!" Tears ran from my eyes as Mrs. Olsen looked at me close. "Pull down your pants". More tears fell hard like a waterfall as I pulled down my pants. My short black hair was now sweaty tangled strands. I bent over as a hard belt buckle hit my butt. "Ah!" I wailed in pain. She was so stupid. I loathed Mrs. Olsen, she always beat me but never did she listen to me of what I had to say. I can hear her words rang in my head. "You're a lousy bitch. I'm sending yo ass back tomorrow morning!" [mehr]

A passage from the book... Some years ago two travellers, mounted on wiry yet strong looking steeds, were wending their way through a forest in Australia.

They were both young and dressed much alike in broad-brimmed pith hats, loose red shirts, corduroy trousers and high boots with spurs. Each of them had stuck in his belt an axe, a brace of pistols, and a long knife; while at his back was slung a serviceable-looking rifle, showing that they were prepared to defend themselves, should they encounter any treacherous blacks, a very possible contingency at that period of the country's history.

The three main characters (all trained space explorers) were sent by Earth from their home on the Moon into the asteroid belt to hunt down a dangerous criminal. Instead of finding the criminal, the criminal catches them and held them prisoner on his asteroid, which had been converted into a starship by a now-vanished alien race. The criminal had made his asteroid undetectable via sight or radar and threatened Earth to either give him the reigns of power or he would launch asteroids miles wide at Earth. To prove his point he devastated portions of Mars with asteroids. The explorers had to escape from the criminal, and find their way out of the immense asteroid. [mehr]
