I haven't yet begun to live. You have barely finished your experiments, and now you're planning my ruin. I will not be balked." "I vill not be balked by such selfishness," screamed Prof. Darmstetter, his parchment face livid with rage; "I vill be master of my own vork." My beauty! My hold on life and power and success and love!
I might do the London season by borrowing from Meg. It would cost a fortune, and unless Strathay does propose perhaps even she wouldn't care to finance me now. I wish Oh, I wish I could get out of my dreams the ghastly form of Darmstetter, as I saw him dead at my feet! He haunts me all day long, and all the night I dream of him!
I do not see how it can accomplish all you claim, but if you think it's an experiment full of possibilities in the interests of science " "Interest of humbug!" snapped Prof. Darmstetter, his own sarcastic self again. "You consent because you vant to be beautiful. You care not'ing for science. I can trust you vit' my secret. You need svear no oat's not to reveal it.
I had plenty of things to think about when I could calm myself. Only yesterday I'd had a long talk with Prof. Darmstetter. "The experiment is not yet complete," he declared. He had asked me to stay for but that is a part of the secret which is to pass with this record from me to all women. "You are beautiful," he said; "mein Gott, yes!
A modern critic like M. Darmstetter regards it as a misfortune that the artificial stimulus given by the war to the study of German has, to some extent, checked the study of English in France. He thinks that the French have more to gain from our literature taking literature in its general and popular sense than from German literature.
"If Darmstetter doesn't think you a perfect organism, he must be hard to satisfy. He's a peculiar organism himself. Has he true loves among sand stars or jelly fish, or does he confine his affections to sea anemones?" "Prof. Darmstetter is a great biologist. It's a shame he has to teach. Don't you think such a man should be free to devote himself to original work?
Darmstetter; and it was my bearing, my unending practice of the West Point setting-up drill, my Delsarte, my "harmonic poise" and evident health that drew his attention to me. How well I remember the day I made his acquaintance! I had entered the laboratory without knowing what manner of man he was, for all my arrangements about my course had been made with clerks.
The tragedy of Darmstetter revived, my scientific attainments but oh, the worst the worst of all is the wicked lie that I am in the "best society." Why, the very day before, we had been "at home," Mrs. Whitney and I, and hardly a soul that counts was here. Mrs. Van Dam had a convenient headache; I haven't seen her since Peggy's wedding. If she had not been so very civil she and Mrs.
This was the end of Prof. Carl Darmstetter; This was how the legacy of science came to Helen Winship. To carry it out, she has refused a title. Early she made the choice that devotes her life to science. She was the confidant of the dead chemist, whose torch of knowledge she took up firm- handed, when it fell from his nerveless fingers. She is vowed as a vestal virgin to science.
When the other girls had gone some of them with frightened looks at me, as if mine were the devil's beauty they tell about and when Prof. Darmstetter was ready to begin his own work, I faced him with a challenge: "Prof. Darmstetter, you are about to break your word." "You are mistaken," he said; but he could not face my look.
