"No!" commanded Weissmann, "disturb nothing till we have examined all things." "Make your studies quickly," said Morton, his heart tender to the girl's sufferings. "We must release her as soon as possible." Weissmann was not to be hastened. "If we do not now go slowly we lose much of what we are trying to attain. We must take her pulse and temperature, and observe the position of every object."
Here he launched into an exposition of the principles and potentialities of hypnotism, and was in full tide of it when Weissmann interrupted to ask: "But suppose these phenomena actually and independently exist? Suppose that they are not illusions but objective realities, how then will your suggestion help?" This put Tolman on his mettle.
Weissmann has made anything but the simplest ventriloquistic performance impossible she cannot lift a hand. To save her from herself, as well as from Clarke, it is necessary to expose her weakness as well as his trickery." She was saying, in answer to a question: "No, Dr. Weissmann, I have no control over the manifestations; in fact, the more anxious I am, the longer we have to wait.
For nearly an hour this voice kept up a perfectly normal conversation with a running fire of quips and cranks recalling incidents in the lives of both Kate and Morton, arguing basic principles with Weissmann yet never quite replying to the most searching questions, and finally ended by saying: "Your conception of matter is childish.
McLeod, who promised us never to have a circle without you, insisted on the sitting there " "How do you know he did? Did he write or speak to you?" "No he impressed the psychic." "I don't trust that girl in such a house. Did you talk with Weissmann about heading the committee?" "Yes, but" he hesitated "they both insisted that if they took the matter up both of us must be excluded."
"That is all," said Clarke. "How can you tell?" asked Kate, her voice faint and shrill with awe. "The fall of the horn to the floor is a sure sign of the end. You may turn up the gas, but very slowly." Stunned by the significance, the far-reaching implications of his experiment, Morton remained standing while Weissmann turned on the light.
It was not Gussiter this time, but one Weissmann, but his game was identical 'deep breathing'. The Hun style was different from the English all about the Goddess of Health, and the Nymphs of the Mountains, and two quotations from Schiller. But the principle was the same. That made me ponder a little, and I went carefully through the whole batch.
"If I were to organize a committee of men like Weissmann and Tolman, and other men of international fame, willing to test your daughter's powers, will you give over this public demonstration this publishing of a challenge?" Clarke interrupted almost angrily. "Not unless you promise to " "Be silent!" commanded Weissmann.
Weissmann fairly made a god of natural selection, as did other German thinkers. And when they were ready for war, the Germans at once applied the law of the jungle to human affairs. The great law of evolution, the triumph of the strong, the supremacy of the fit, became the foundation of their political and national ideals.
Guided by the rapping Mrs. Lambert and Kate moved down to the foot of the table, sitting close beside Clarke, thus leaving Morton and Weissmann alone with the sleeping girl. No sooner were they rearranged than the table began to move, precisely as though pushed by the girl's feet. Still guided by the rapping, Weissmann and Morton moved with the table, but retained their threads of silk.
