As the attendant glided to his task, Serviss was mightily moved to rise in his seat and cry out against the foolish, profaning business. They were putting the girl into the exact attitude of the paid trickster.
From the horn came a faint murmur, so dim, so far, Serviss could, with difficulty, distinguish the words. "We will consider that. I am going. Guard my girl. Good-bye." The horn, again seemed to rest, and for a long time no sound or stir broke the silence, till at last Viola began to writhe in her chair in greater agony than before. "I think she is waking," said Morton. Mrs.
Serviss. We met many nice people in Boston." "Yes, mamma nice people who wanted me to tell their fortunes." Her tone went to Serviss's heart. She was so young to be so bitter; but he could think of nothing at the moment which would not add to her chagrin, for was not his own interpretation of her quite as hard to bear? She went on: "No, I don't blame you or any one for avoiding me.
"And yet, if your daughter has most decided talent it is only fair to give her a chance to show what she can do." The girl flushed and her eyes fell as the mother bent towards her visitor. "I wish you would listen to her play, Dr. Serviss, and tell me what you think of her talent." His eyes shone with humor. "I will listen with great pleasure; but don't ask a chemist to judge a pianist.
Tolman's interest in the unknown psychic was now keen, and he asked for a chance to try his powers. To this Serviss was strongly averse. "I have never had a chance at a case of this kind and I would very much like to experiment. Perhaps I may need you; but if suggestion is what you claim it to be, if the power is really in the mind of the subject, I can arouse it as well as any one.
They will fight and win, and thank you for the suggestion. "Marconi has imagination without being a dreamer." Thus Mr. Serviss gave an explanation of material achievement and material success on big lines. WITHOUT imagination a man may prosper relatively. He may live comfortably and die contented. But at best such a man will only follow in beaten paths.
Whenever you strike a suspicious character out here he's either a 'one-lunger' or a 'remittance man." "That's what makes your country worth while." "I don't know about that, but you'll find a good many of us waiting. When you fellows develop an anti-toxin for the consumption 'bug, we're all going back to God's country." "We're hot on its trail," replied Serviss, jocularly. "I know you are.
Serviss waited for his reply in such suspense that his hands clutched his chair. Britt's face lost its gleam. "I'm afraid she has or at least she feels herself 'sealed to him' by her 'controls." Serviss rose and took a turn about the room as Britt went on.
It's all a craze with people anyway something that comes after they lose a wife or child. They are very nice to me then, but after a few weeks they despise me as the dust under their feet or else they make love to me and want to marry me." Mrs. Lambert rose. "I will not allow you to go on like this, Viola. I don't understand you to-day. You'll give Dr. Serviss a dreadful opinion of us all."
"Dearest!" warned the mother. "It is true, and I want Mrs. Rice to know it. Since I was ten years old I have not been free of the thing for a day only in the high mountains. There I could always draw a long breath. I am glad you've come, Mrs. Rice. I want you to ask Professor Serviss to come and investigate me. My only hope is in the men of science.
