By
nature
I
am
,
I
admit
,
somewhat
fiery
,
and
under
provocation
I
am
inclined
to
be
violent
.
I
fear
you
may
have
remarked
it
.
"
I
nursed
my
eye
and
was
silent
.
"
My
wife
has
frequently
remonstrated
with
me
upon
the
subject
,
and
yet
I
fancy
that
any
man
of
honor
would
feel
the
same
.
To-night
,
however
,
I
propose
to
give
an
extreme
example
of
the
control
of
the
will
over
the
emotions
.
I
invite
you
to
be
present
at
the
exhibition
.
"
He
handed
me
a
card
from
his
desk
.
"
You
will
perceive
that
Mr.
Percival
Waldron
,
a
naturalist
of
some
popular
repute
,
is
announced
to
lecture
at
eight-thirty
at
the
Zoological
Institute
's
Hall
upon
'
The
Record
of
the
Ages
.
'
I
have
been
specially
invited
to
be
present
upon
the
platform
,
and
to
move
a
vote
of
thanks
to
the
lecturer
.
While
doing
so
,
I
shall
make
it
my
business
,
with
infinite
tact
and
delicacy
,
to
throw
out
a
few
remarks
which
may
arouse
the
interest
of
the
audience
and
cause
some
of
them
to
desire
to
go
more
deeply
into
the
matter
.
Nothing
contentious
,
you
understand
,
but
only
an
indication
that
there
are
greater
deeps
beyond
.
I
shall
hold
myself
strongly
in
leash
,
and
see
whether
by
this
self-restraint
I
attain
a
more
favorable
result
.
"
"
And
I
may
come
?
"
I
asked
eagerly
.
"
Why
,
surely
,
"
he
answered
,
cordially
.
He
had
an
enormously
massive
genial
manner
,
which
was
almost
as
overpowering
as
his
violence
.
His
smile
of
benevolence
was
a
wonderful
thing
,
when
his
cheeks
would
suddenly
bunch
into
two
red
apples
,
between
his
half-closed
eyes
and
his
great
black
beard
.
"
By
all
means
,
come
.
It
will
be
a
comfort
to
me
to
know
that
I
have
one
ally
in
the
hall
,
however
inefficient
and
ignorant
of
the
subject
he
may
be
.
I
fancy
there
will
be
a
large
audience
,
for
Waldron
,
though
an
absolute
charlatan
,
has
a
considerable
popular
following
.
Now
,
Mr.
Malone
,
I
have
given
you
rather
more
of
my
time
than
I
had
intended
.
The
individual
must
not
monopolize
what
is
meant
for
the
world
.
I
shall
be
pleased
to
see
you
at
the
lecture
to-night
.
In
the
meantime
,
you
will
understand
that
no
public
use
is
to
be
made
of
any
of
the
material
that
I
have
given
you
.
"
"
But
Mr.
McArdle
--
my
news
editor
,
you
know
--
will
want
to
know
what
I
have
done
.
"
"
Tell
him
what
you
like
.
You
can
say
,
among
other
things
,
that
if
he
sends
anyone
else
to
intrude
upon
me
I
shall
call
upon
him
with
a
riding-whip
.
But
I
leave
it
to
you
that
nothing
of
all
this
appears
in
print
.
Very
good
.
Then
the
Zoological
Institute
's
Hall
at
eight-thirty
to-night
.
"
I
had
a
last
impression
of
red
cheeks
,
blue
rippling
beard
,
and
intolerant
eyes
,
as
he
waved
me
out
of
the
room
.
What
with
the
physical
shocks
incidental
to
my
first
interview
with
Professor
Challenger
and
the
mental
ones
which
accompanied
the
second
,
I
was
a
somewhat
demoralized
journalist
by
the
time
I
found
myself
in
Enmore
Park
once
more
.
In
my
aching
head
the
one
thought
was
throbbing
that
there
really
was
truth
in
this
man
's
story
,
that
it
was
of
tremendous
consequence
,
and
that
it
would
work
up
into
inconceivable
copy
for
the
Gazette
when
I
could
obtain
permission
to
use
it
.
A
taxicab
was
waiting
at
the
end
of
the
road
,
so
I
sprang
into
it
and
drove
down
to
the
office
.
McArdle
was
at
his
post
as
usual
.
"
Well
,
"
he
cried
,
expectantly
,
"
what
may
it
run
to
?
I
'm
thinking
,
young
man
,
you
have
been
in
the
wars
.
Do
n't
tell
me
that
he
assaulted
you
.
