earth folk n. 1897 F. T. Jane To Venus in Five Seconds iv. 66 It has been mooted once or twice that we should select husbands from the Earth-folk, but no one cares to be the first to do so, and thus we drift on. [Ibid. x. 99] A few of them, like Ef, hold that it is morally indefensible to torture one creature for anotherโ€™s benefit; these may save some Earth-folk in the future years, but I fear they will do little for us.
earthwoman n. 1897 F. T. Jane To Venus in Five Seconds xiii. 117 โ€˜And if I refuse?โ€™ said she. โ€˜I shall kill you. No more trusting to the promises of a Sutenrฤ.โ€™ โ€˜Then kill.โ€™ โ€˜I mean it.โ€™ โ€˜So do I. I am not a man or an Earth[-]woman; therefore, I do not fear death.โ€˜ Then she lay back watching me.
