The reason, it turns out, is that Martians have evolved in parallel with humans and recognized English as the "most convenient" language. The Martians are giant humanoids, and they have rejected emotions in favour of pure intellect. Zaidie's beauty intrigues one of the Martians whose baser instincts thus begin to re-emerge; disgusted, she shoots him dead in cold blood.
