Again, his thought ran, if thieves playing for so great a stake as Ambrotox had found a woman in their way, their best card was prompt murder. If they could abduct in silence, they could have killed silently.
In regard to the good which may be done by Ambrotox do you remember, Amaryllis, the two pretty little old ladies who lived in the small grey house with the red blinds?

I have never seen a victim of Ambrotox pursue this descent to the grave, but all analogous experience assures me that the final stages must be hell." "How do you know so much about the effects?" asked Dick.
