At first I couldn’t make out the purpose of this mighty pile of rock, unless it 
were intended as a rough and picturesque background for the scenes which were enacted
in the arena before it, but presently, after the wooden benches had been pretty 
well filled by slaves and Sagoths, I discovered the purpose of the bowlders, for
then the Mahars began to file into the enclosure.
 They marched directly across 
the arena toward the rocks upon the opposite side, where, spreading their bat-like
wings, they rose above the high wall of the pit, settling down upon the bowlders
above. These were the reserved seats, the boxes of the elect. Reptiles that they
are, the rough surface of a great stone is to them as plush as upholstery to us.
Here they lolled, blinking their hideous eyes, and doubtless conversing with one
another in their sixth-sense-fourth-dimension language.
