Just then Prof. Harrington came forward and made his introductory speech. "For my first experiment, ladies and gentlemen," he said, when this was over, "I should like a pocket handkerchief."
I hope to destroy the recollection of it in time, and to extinguish that ray of thought which I kindled with so much difficulty. "The other day, I tried an experiment. I offered her my watch; she took it and looked at it for some time; then she began to scream terribly, as if the sight of that little object had suddenly aroused her recollection, which was beginning to grow indistinct.
The door opened as he went up the steps, and the servant handed him a note. He tore it open and read, 'Come round to the laboratory and make a new acquaintance who will yet be an old one.
