"No matter," broke in Rushford. "All European inn-keepers have it, and it has never been known to result fatally, so don't worry. But why did you think I'd take hold of this thing?" "I haf heard so much," explained Pelletan, "of t'e enterprise of t'e Americans, t'at I t'ought perhaps you might " "Win back Zeit-Zeit? Not on your life! If he comes, I go! But I tell you what I'll do, Pelletan.
Vell, we are all young, afore we live to be olt t'at effery potty knows." By this time the door was open, and we entered. Mr. Mayor had issued orders we should all be shown into the parlour, where I rather think, from what subsequently passed, he intended to cut up Guert a little more than common, by exposing him before the eyes of a particular person.
"Yes, yes," he said, in a cheerful tone, "our folks is seen some mighty quare doin's sence the war; but times is a-gittin' a long ways better now." "Better, hell!" exclaimed Sid Parmalee. What he would have said further no one can know, for the voluminous voice of Cohen broke in "Tlook ow-ut, t'ere, Sid! tlook ow-ut! t'at pad man kedge you!"
The Professor leaned forward and, fixing me with his eye, spoke in a hoarse whisper, tense with excitement: "Mees Veenship, I am a biologist; you are a voman, creature of Nature, yearning for perfection after your kind. I I can gife it you. You can trust me; I am ready. I can gif you your vish, t'e vish of efery normal voman. Science t'at is I can make you t'e most beautiful being in t'e vorld!"
You vant to be t'e only perfect voman in t'e vorld, and so you shall be, for some time. T'at is right. T'at is your revard." My cheeks flushed at his injustice. I do care for others. I am not selfish not more than everybody. And yet at that moment I feared him and his knowledge; I shuddered at nameless terrors. Really, I often wonder that I ever had the courage to try. And oh, I am so glad!
Rushford dropped into one of the two chairs, got out a cigar, lighted it, and sat for some moments looking around at this wilderness of gimcracks. "Pelletan, you're a humbug," he said at last. "You came to me yesterday and said your last franc was gone." "Unt so it wass, monsieur." "But this collection ought to be worth something." "Monsieur means t'at it might pe sold?" "Undoubtedly."
T'en t'ey will go to tinner six or eight of t'em toget'er een a leetle room at Maxime's, where t'ey can make so much noise as pleases t'em only I will not pe t'ere in all t'at great city, nowhere will I pe! Unt I am missed, monsieur, no more t'an iss a grain of sand from t'e peach out yonder!" His voice trembled and broke, and he ran his hands through his hair in a very agony of despair.
"How is the old gentleman, this evening, Hans?" the principal asked, with some little concern in his manner. "I hope he and his company have supped?" "Vell, t'at is more t'an I can tell you, Mr. Guert. He look't more as like himself, when he hat the horse t'ieves from New Englant taken up, t'an he hast for many a tay. 'Twas most too pat, Mr. Guert, to run away wit' the Mayor's own supper!
And t'e physiologist helps Nature. "See now," continued Prof. Darmstetter. "I haf a vonderful discofery made. I must experiment vit' it experimentum in corpore vili! Impossible, for the subject is mankind. I must haf a voman a voman like you, healt'y, strong, young all t'e conditions most favourable. She must haf intelligence t'at is you.
I did not dream any could know of the plan, or that my absence could cause this catastrophe." "So you went, eh, vaurien? You t'ought t'at be to do your duty, eh? And it was you who tole your sistaire?" "I may have told her, but not before she had the tale already from Blake." Feversham sneered and shrugged. "Natural you will not speak true. A traitor I 'ave observe' is always liar."
