ient　suddenly　announced　he　had　gone　insane。　Unaccountable　failures　dogged　his　life。　He　certainly　hoped　that　somehow　he　would　not　fail　again　on　Heller：　it　was　his　only　hope。　Or　did　he　have　any　hope　left；　sitting　here　in　this　overwhelming　hall　waiting　on　the　whim　of　a　juvenile　delinquent　from　New　York？　Would　that　little　pathological　liar　and　infant　con　artist　really　try　him　and　sentence　him　to　death？　He　decided　she　would。　Maybe　if　he　threatened　to　expose　her　and　tell　these　Voltarians　that　〃movie　queen〃　was　just　an　expression；　not　royalty。。。。　Oh；　no！　They　would　kill　him　if　he　even　so　much　as　looked　like　he　was　being　critical。　She　had　even　taken　care　of　that！　He　could　think　of　no　way　to　reach　her。　Actual　tears　began　to　mix　with　the　spit。
He　became　aware　that　small　groups　of　boys　had　been　ing　in　the　vast　front　door。　They　were　being　greeted　by　two　bowing　seneschals　in　silver　and　then　directed　toward　the　roped　areas　by　polite　ushers。　The　boys　were　beautifully　dressed；　some　flashier　than　others。　In　the　main　they　were　handsome　or　pretty；　and　a　few　wore　powder　and　paint。　They　all　had　belts　with　a　shining　metal　plate　which　hugely；　in　Voltarian；　said　Page。　They　appeared　to　range　in　age　from　eight　to　fifteen；　but　one　couldn't　really　tell　with　these　long…lived　people。　There　must　be　two　hundred　of　them　here　by　now；　and　laggards　still　sauntered　in。
At　last　a　seneschal　with　a　list　gave　a　signal　and　the　giant　front　doors　closed。　Another　scanned　the　roped　areas：　the　larger　number　of　boys　were　behind　the　red　ropes；　a　smaller；　better…dressed　number　were　behind　the　blue。
An　usher　gave　a　signal　to　one　of　the　seneschals；　who　pushed　a　button　on　his　livery。
A　spotlight　went　on；　striking　at　the　top　of　the　golden　stairs。
Four　heralds　closed　across　the　bottom　of　the　balustrade。　They　raised　what　must　be　battle　horns。　A　chorded　blast　struck　the　hall。
And　in　the　spotlight　glare　at　the　stairway　top　stood　Teenie！
She　had　a　golden　crown　upon　her　head；　ponytail　sticking　out　behind。　She　wore　a　scarlet　military　coat　with　golden　frogs：　it　gripped　her　neck　with　its　high　collar　and　fell　away　to　her　black…booted　heels。　In　her　hand　she　carried　a　golden　rod　that　sparked　with　jewels；　a　scepter。
Like　a　benediction　from　above；　a　gauzy　gold　cape；　full　of　glitter；　settled　over　her　shoulders。　The　two　boys　Madison　had　seen　earlier　were　now　in　golden　suits。
Teenie　took　a　forward　step　to　descend　the　stairs。
The　musicians　bashed　out　a　cymbal　crash！　Then　they　began　to　play　a　stately　air　of　celestial　majesty。　With　the　two　boys　in　gold　carrying　her　long　golden　train；　in　time　to　the　sedate　music；　Teenie　came　down　the　curving　golden　stairs。
The　throng　gazed　at　her　in　ecstasy。
Followed　by　the　spotlight；　she　paraded　across　the　hall。　With　great　dignity　she　mounted　the　scarlet　steps　to　the　throne。　Regally；　she　seated　herself；　and　the　two　boys　gave　the　train　an　artistic；　curving　fold　upon　the　approach。　They　folded　their　arms　and　stood　like　two　small　golden　statues　at　her　feet。　The　music　ceased。
The　seneschal　approached　the　throne　and　gave　a　sweeping　bow。　Kneeling　and　speaking　to　the　floor；　not　her；　he　said；　〃Your　Majesty；　I　beg　to　announce　the　court　is　assembled。　I　have　further　been　told　to　say　that　there　are　several　virgins　here。　The　courtiers　await　your　pleasure。　They　beg　that　you　would　condescend　to　caress　their　ears　with　the　celestial　beauty　of　your　voice。　They　eagerly　attend。　Long　Live　Your　Majesty。　May　I　withdraw？〃
Teenie　gave　a　twitch　with　the　scepter　and　he　backed　away。　She　gazed　down　upon　the　lifted　faces　of　the　throng　across　the　open　space。
The　spotlight　narrowed　to　a　glittering　circle　upon　her。
She　smiled。
A　sigh　of　pleasure　rippled　like　a　friendly　breeze　about　the　room。
Teenie　spoke　and　her　voice　was　quite　manding　and　loud：　there　must　be　a　microphone　in　the　arm　of　that　throne。　Her　Voltarian　accent　had　changed：　she　was　speaking　with　the　lilt　that　characterized　the　speeches　of　the　court。
〃Wele；　wele；　my　dear；　loyal　vassals　and　sweet　friends。　I　spread　my　love　upon　you　and　accept　your　kisses　on　my　feet。　May　the　blessings　of　a　thousand　Heavens　rain　into　your　waiting　lips。〃　She　paused　and　gave　a　sly　smile。　〃And　into　your　hips　as　well。〃　There　was　a　patter　of　applause。　Teenie　smiled　more　broadly。　〃I　thank　you　from　my　bottom。〃
Instant　cheers　broke　out。
Then　the　boys　were　throwing　her　kisses。
Teenie　beamed。　〃I　love　you；　too！〃　she　said。
Wilder　cheers　racked　the　hall。　The　sentries　had　to　twitch　the　ropes　as　a　warning　not　to　burst　across　the　open　space　to　the　throne。
Teenie　was　laughing。　She　held　up　the　scepter　for　quiet。
The　two　boys　in　gold　saw　some　signal　and　rushed　up　the　steps　to　her。　She　kissed　each　one　and　then　they　unfastened　the　chain　which　held　the　golden　cape　and；　doing　a　sort　of　swirling　dance　with　it；　bore　it　off。
Teenie　stood　up。　〃But　enough；　my　darlings；　of　this　ceremony。　I　fear　that　I　must　now　go　into　the　stuffy；　technical　end　of　life。　Are　you　ready　for　my　lecture？〃
Cries　of　〃Oh；　yes；　Your　Majesty！〃　〃Please；　please！〃　rocked　the　hall。　No　professor　in　a　school　ever　got　such　an　invitation　to　begin。
Madison　wondered　what　in　heaven　she　was　going　to　talk　about。　Like　all　good　PRs；　he　was　an　expert　in　presentation　and　stagecraft；　and　up　to　now　he　had　been　struck　with　awe　at　how　well　the　page　school　had　trained　her　and　how　she　must　be　working　under　the　guidance　of　an　expert　palace　staff　with　all　the　expertise　that　they
must　have。　A　technical　lecture　after　this？　Surely　Teenie；　now　on　her　own；　was　going　to　blow　it。　The　foolish　girl：　good　heavens；　how　she　needed　his　help！　And；　oh；　how　desperately　he　needed　her　assistance　to　finish　his　job　with　Heller！

Chapter　7

Covered　from　throat　to　heels　by　her　scarlet　military　coat；　topped　by　her　glittering　crown；　Teenie　strode　to　the　wheeled　vertical　board。　Madison　could　not　see　what　was　on　it。　But　he　was　very　glad　she　had　good　enough　sense　not　to　appear　naked　or　exposed　before　these　boys：　they　were　much　too　young　to　be　subjected　to　female　nakedness；　even　that　as　immature　as　Teenie's。
The　hall　was　hushed。　She　raised　her　scepter；　using　it　as　a　pointer。　It　must　have　a　microphone　in　it；　for　her　voice　came　loudly；　with　authority；　from　speakers　Madison　could　not　locate。
〃Here；　my　loving　students；〃　Teenie　said；　〃we　have　a　graphic　illustration　of　the　naked　male　body。〃　She　gestured　with　the　scepter　in　a　sweep。　〃A　front　view；　a　right…side　view；　a　left…side　view　and　a　back。　Now；　I　must　admit　that　the　artist　has　made　the　（bleep）　too　large　for　my　taste。〃　She　turned　to　them　and　smiled　a　too…big　smile。　There　was　pleased　laughter　at　her　joke。　〃But　somehow　getting　around　that　point〃…more　laughter　…　〃you　will　see　that　I　myself　have　marked　in　certain　places　with　an　X。　Now　attend；　and　no　more　giggling；　for　this　is　serious　business　and　I　have　left　you　clearheaded　for　this　part　of　the　program　so　that　the　information　can　slide　in　and　stick。　There　are　172　of　these　X's　on　these　four　drawings。　Can　everyone　see　them？〃
Choruses　of　〃Yes。〃
〃They　are　called　the　erotic　spots。　Touching　them　or　manipulating　them　can　bring　about　sexual　stimulation；　prolong　it　or　cool　it　off。〃　Jabbing　with　her　scepter　she　rattled　them　off；　for　each　one　had　a　name。　English？　Chinese？　She　turned　to　the　assemblage；　quite　out　of　breath；　and　smiled。　〃I　know　it　seems　an　awful　lot；　but　nevertheless；　you　must　know　each　one　and　know　just　how　to　use　it。　You　will　see　these　boards　again　in　subsequent　evening　classes。　The　palace　artist；　who　is　a　very　splendid　fellow　really；　despite　his　exaggerated　idea　of　（bleeps）。。。〃　She　paused　to　let　their　laughter　pass。　〃He　offered　to　make　copies　of　this　for　you；　but　the　information　is　secret。　So　these　boards　will　be　placed　in　the　basement　near　the　rear　portcullis　and　you　can　slip　in　and　out　to　your　heart's　content　and　study　them。　Now　mind　that　you　do；　for　you　will　be　personally　examined　on　each　one　of　them。　Got　it？〃
The　two　groups　nodded　vigorously；　interest　was　intense。
〃Now；〃　said　Teenie；　〃for　tonight's　first　demonstration。　I　need　a　virgin　volunteer。〃
Instantly　fifty　hands　went　flailing　toward　her。
Teenie　pointed　with　the　scepter。　〃I'll　take　you！〃
A　boy　who　appeared　to　be　about　fifteen　slid　eagerly　under　the　red　ropes。　He　was　quite　pretty；　with　a　clear　white　skin。
The　staff　ran　out　a　platform　five　feet　high　with　steps。　The　two　young　boys　in　the　golden　suits　led　the　volunteer　up　it。　With　expert　hands　they　stripped　off　his　clothes　and　in　a　moment　had　him　standing　there　naked。　They　withdrew。　Teenie　mounted　the　platform。
〃Now　behold！〃　She　pointed　with　her　scepter　to　the　boards。　Then　with　one　finger　she　touched　a　spot　on　the　boy　near　the　spine。
INSTANT　RESPONSE！
The　audience　gasped。
Teenie　pointed　at　the　boards　with　her　scepter。　Then　she　touched　a　spot　on　the　lower　outside　right　thigh。
THE　RESPONSE　DEFLATED！
The　audience　groaned。
Again　Teenie　indicated　the　boards　and　then；　with　one　finger；　touched　the　lower　middle　lip　of　the　boy's　mouth。
RESPONSE　OCCURRED　AT　ONCE！
She　gestured　at　the　charts　and　then　she　touched　the　side　of　the　boy's　neck。
THE　RESPONSE　GREW　BIGGER　AND　STAYED！
Once　more　she　pointed　at　the　chart。　Then　with　one　light　finger　she　touched　a　spot　at　the　lower　center　of　the　boy's　pubic　hair。　His　eyes　rolled　up；　his　chin　thrust　forward；　he　gave　an　ecstatic　groan。
HE　（BLEEPULATED）！
Gasps　echoed　in　the　audience　like　an　echo　of　the　groan。　Then　there　were　cries　of　amazement　and　suddenly　wild　applause。
But　Teenie　wasn't　through。　She　touched　a　spot　at　the　base　of　his　throat。　He　straightened　up。
ANOTHER　RESPONSE！
Gasps　of　astonishment　slid　through　the　hall。
Teenie　leaned　over　and　touched　his　ear　with　her　tongue。
ANOTHER　（BLEEPULATION）！
The　crowd　went　mad！
The　stern…faced　sergeants　had　to　twitch　the　ropes　quite　hard　to　prevent　a　forward　surge　onto　the　cleared　space。
〃We　could　keep　this　up　all　night；〃　said　Teenie；　〃and　though　I'd　dearly　love　to；　the　program　must　continue。　You；〃　she　said　to　the　volunteer；　〃have　been　a　very　good　boy。　You　are　very　pretty；　too。〃　And　she　gave　his　（bleep）　a　pat。　It　was　suddenly　erect　again。　〃So　thank　you　for　ing　up　here。〃
Although　dismissed；　the　boy　dropped　to　his　knees　and　clutched　the　bottom　of　her　military　coat。　He　kissed　it　passionately。　〃O　Teenie；　Queen　Teenie；　thank　Gods　that　you　are　here。　I　shall　be　your　vassal　forever。〃
She　patted　his　head　and　smiled。　〃For　that；　sweet　fellow；　my　two　little　groom
