"
Then
I
apologize
to
you
in
advance
.
I
must
tell
you
that
he
is
a
perfectly
impossible
person
--
absolutely
impossible
.
If
you
are
forewarned
you
will
be
the
more
ready
to
make
allowances
.
"
142
"
It
is
most
considerate
of
you
,
madam
.
"
143
"
Get
quickly
out
of
the
room
if
he
seems
inclined
to
be
violent
.
Do
n't
wait
to
argue
with
him
.
Several
people
have
been
injured
through
doing
that
.
Afterwards
there
is
a
public
scandal
and
it
reflects
upon
me
and
all
of
us
.
I
suppose
it
was
n't
about
South
America
you
wanted
to
see
him
?

I
could
not
lie
to
a
lady
.
145
"
Dear
me
!
That
is
his
most
dangerous
subject
.
You
wo
n't
believe
a
word
he
says
--
I
'm
sure
I
do
n't
wonder
.
But
do
n't
tell
him
so
,
for
it
makes
him
very
violent
.
Pretend
to
believe
him
,
and
you
may
get
through
all
right
.
Remember
he
believes
it
himself
.
Of
that
you
may
be
assured
.
A
more
honest
man
never
lived
.
Do
n't
wait
any
longer
or
he
may
suspect
.
If
you
find
him
dangerous
--
really
dangerous
--
ring
the
bell
and
hold
him
off
until
I
come
.
Even
at
his
worst
I
can
usually
control
him
.
"

With
these
encouraging
words
the
lady
handed
me
over
to
the
taciturn
Austin
,
who
had
waited
like
a
bronze
statue
of
discretion
during
our
short
interview
,
and
I
was
conducted
to
the
end
of
the
passage
.
There
was
a
tap
at
a
door
,
a
bull
's
bellow
from
within
,
and
I
was
face
to
face
with
the
Professor
.
147
He
sat
in
a
rotating
chair
behind
a
broad
table
,
which
was
covered
with
books
,
maps
,
and
diagrams
.
As
I
entered
,
his
seat
spun
round
to
face
me
.
His
appearance
made
me
gasp
.
I
was
prepared
for
something
strange
,
but
not
for
so
overpowering
a
personality
as
this
.

It
was
his
size
which
took
one
's
breath
away
--
his
size
and
his
imposing
presence
.
His
head
was
enormous
,
the
largest
I
have
ever
seen
upon
a
human
being
.
I
am
sure
that
his
top-hat
,
had
I
ever
ventured
to
don
it
,
would
have
slipped
over
me
entirely
and
rested
on
my
shoulders
.
He
had
the
face
and
beard
which
I
associate
with
an
Assyrian
bull
;
the
former
florid
,
the
latter
so
black
as
almost
to
have
a
suspicion
of
blue
,
spade-shaped
and
rippling
down
over
his
chest
.
The
hair
was
peculiar
,
plastered
down
in
front
in
a
long
,
curving
wisp
over
his
massive
forehead
.
The
eyes
were
blue-gray
under
great
black
tufts
,
very
clear
,
very
critical
,
and
very
masterful
.
A
huge
spread
of
shoulders
and
a
chest
like
a
barrel
were
the
other
parts
of
him
which
appeared
above
the
table
,
save
for
two
enormous
hands
covered
with
long
black
hair
.
This
and
a
bellowing
,
roaring
,
rumbling
voice
made
up
my
first
impression
of
the
notorious
Professor
Challenger
.
149
"
Well
?
"
said
he
,
with
a
most
insolent
stare
.
"
What
now
?
"
150
I
must
keep
up
my
deception
for
at
least
a
little
time
longer
,
otherwise
here
was
evidently
an
end
of
the
interview
.
