It is not one that has been assumed for our discussion; it is one I came to long years ago, that I was already feeling my way to in my St. Matthew's Lenton sermons. "A word for your private ear. I am working. I cannot tell you fully because I am not working alone. But there are movements afoot in which I hope very shortly to be able to ask you to share. That much at least I may say at this stage.
It was much simpler than the usual method. Just as he concluded the test, some one opened the laboratory door. It was Professor Lenton. "I have a telegram for you," he said. "A telegram?" "Yes. It just arrived." Jack tore open the yellow envelope. "It's from Professor Henderson," he said. "Is anything the matter?" asked Mark. "I don't know," answered Jack.
"You'll excuse my care to start even with my visitors I must, you know. You come from Sir James Norris, I see." "Yes; I am his secretary. I have only to ask you to go straight to Lenton Croft at once, if you can, on very important business. Sir James would have wired, but had not your precise address. Can you go by the next train? Eleven-thirty is the first available from Paddington."
Shall we go outside now?" Lenton Croft was a large, desultory sort of house, nowhere more than three floors high, and mostly only two. It had been added to bit by bit, till it zigzagged about its site, as Sir James Norris expressed it, "like a game of dominoes."
Then, as Jack watched, he saw a thick, yellowish vapor collecting in the top of the test tube near the cork. "It's coming!" he cried. "There's my new gas!" "What's the name of it?" asked Mark. "I haven't named it yet. I want to collect it in the jar and show it to Professor Lenton. He said he didn't believe I could make it." The boys resumed their careful watching of the experiment.
"In this month, John Lenton, of Kepwick, in the county of Yorke, Esq., a gentleman of an ancient family there, and of good reputation, his majesty's servant, and one of the grooms of his most honourable privy chamber, performed so memorable a journey as I may not omit to record the same to future ages; the rather for that I did hear sundry gentlemen, who were good horsemen, and likewise many good physicians, affirm it was impossible to be done without danger of his life.
"But this tube is very strong, and even if it does break nothing very serious can happen." "Unless the gas you expect to generate is stronger than you have any idea of." "Well, I'm going to do it. I've got half an hour before Professor Lenton and his class comes in, and that's time enough. Here, just hold this rubber tube under this jar, will you?
