tenon

But how in the world could she do what Tenon wanted her to?

And the point is, you still might not get Tenon back.

If you will not return Tenon then give me another solution.

A minute later, he was back, a tenon saw on one hand.

The question was: if the aliens had Tenon, what could they learn from him?

I wish no one harm, but we must have Tenon back.

With his trembling hands Tenon tried to form a cross.

Tenon looked baffled for a moment when he opened his eyes.

"He has offered to come with us instead of Tenon.

Eyes, Tenon thought, with a shiver, that he would never look into again.

If you find Tenon, get him here as soon as possible.

Is there any way he could have known, except from Tenon?"

"Are you going to add your voice to the chorus demanding we give Tenon up?"

The conclusion is that he didn't return there after getting Tenon.

If he were Tenon, then, what would he have done?

He will clearly go to great lengths to get Tenon back."

"At first we cut every mortise and tenon by hand," he said.

At this stage there would be no harm in leaving the tenons slightly long.

I must make it clear to all your governments that failure to return Tenon will do more than just anger me.

And how far, finally, would he go, if the three days went by and Tenon was not returned?

He cuts the tenon shoulders one at a time, and then lines them up to make a final pass if necessary.

It was only when they reached the meeting with Tenon that her nervousness fell away.

More likely someone knew who Tenon was, and was holding on to him for his own reasons.

"Can you not capture him and force him to give up Tenon?"

The people of your planet will demand that Tenon be returned."
