"Idiot," exclaimed Sarakoff, with great vehemence. "I drink nothing but water." "He wishes to destroy London," said Lord Alberan coldly. "There is enough dynamite in that bag to blow the whole of Trafalgar Square into fragments. Arrest him instantly." I stepped forward from the shadows by the door. Sarakoff uttered a cry of pleasure. "Ah, Harden, I knew you would come.
He hesitated and then looked firmly at Sarakoff. "Do I understand, sir, that you have actually put some germ into the Birmingham water-supply?" The Russian nodded. "You'll hear about it in a day or two," he said quietly. "You had permission to do this?" "No, I had no permission." "Are you aware that you are making a very extraordinary statement, sir?" "Perfectly." Lord Alberan became very red.
Sarakoff placed Leonora between him and myself. Attentive waiters hurried to serve us; and the eyes of everyone in our immediate neighbourhood were turned in our direction. Leonora did not appear to be affected by the interest she aroused. She flung her cloak on the back of her chair, put her elbows on the table, and gazed at the Russian intently. "Tell me of your discovery, Alexis."
But of that I shall have more to say, for it produced the most extraordinary state of affairs and more than anything else threatened to disorganize life completely. I fancy Sarakoff was more awed by the bliss-state than I was. During the rest of the day he was very quiet and sat gazing before him His boisterousness had vanished.
The subject is now open for discussion, and I call on Professor Sarakoff, of Petrograd, the eminent bacteriologist, to give us the benefit of his views, as I believe he has a statement to make." A burst of applause filled the Hall. "Good," muttered Sarakoff in my ear. "I will certainly give them my views." "Be careful," I said idly. Sir Jeremy was gazing round the Hall.
I passed my hand across my brow nervously, and glanced at the manuscript lying before Sarakoff. "You had better keep those papers locked up. I spent an awful day at the hospital. It dawned on me that the whole medical profession will want to tear us in pieces before the year is out." "In theory they ought not to." "Who cares for theory, when it is a question of earning a living?
Herbert Wain, showing that I had not suffered from the Blue Disease as long as he had. But when I began to study my reflection from the æsthetic point of view, I became deeply engrossed. "I don't agree with you, Sarakoff," I remarked at length. "We still need mirrors. In fact I have never found the mirror so interesting in my life." "Don't use that absurd phrase," he answered.
"What I mean," persisted the man, "is this supposin' the police arrest me, when I go back to my job. 'Ave they a right? 'Ave people a right to give me the shove to put me in a 'orspital? That crowd round me in the street it confused me, like as if I was a leper." He paused and looked up at Sarakoff enquiringly. "What's the cause of it?" "A germ a bacillus." "Same as what gives consumption?"
He saw me as a man fighting with some strange anxiety, with his forehead damp and shining, his spectacles aslant on his nose and the heavy folds of his frock-coat shaken with a sudden impetuosity. "How do you know?" I repeated, shaking my fist in the air. "How do you know he isn't going to die?" Sarakoff fingered his beard in silence, but his eyes shone with a quiet certainty.
Leonora won't like that it won't suit her colouring. You see that these fish, when cooked, retained the bluish hue. That is very interesting." "It's very bad luck on the trout." "Why?" "After getting the bacillus into their system, they blunder on to a hook and meet their death straight away." "The bacillus is not proof against death by violence," replied Sarakoff gravely.
