 Who was the only one to listen and agree with Zotul?
"It is an outrage," said Koltan of the House of Masur, "that the Earthmen land among the Thorabians!" Zotul, youngest of the Masur brothers, stirred uneasily. Around the table sat the six brothers—Koltan, eldest and Director of the Pottery; Morvan, his vice-chief; Singula, their treasurer; Thendro, sales manager; Lubiosa, export chief; and last in the rank of age, Zotul, who was responsible for affairs of design. "It is a damned imposition," agreed Morvan, ignoring his father's philosophical attitude. Lubiosa, who had interests in Thorabia, and many agents there, kept his own counsel. Zotul bowed his head meekly, but he burned with resentment. Zotul did not appreciate his father's approval, for it only earned him a beating as soon as the old man went to bed. However, they had Zotul to take it out upon, and they did. Zotul felt greatly cheered, for it refuted the attitude of his brothers without earning him a whaling for it. Accurate reporting, much less a newspaper, was unknown on Zur. This, for some unknown reason and much to the disgust of the Lorians, was set up in Thorabia. "You didn't think so at first," Zotul pointed out, and was immediately sorry, for Koltan turned and gave him a hiding, single-handed, for his unthinkable impertinence. In their dozenth conference since that first and fateful one, the brothers Masur decided upon drastic steps.
