Tarp
Henry
looked
thoughtful
.
"
He
is
not
a
popular
person
,
the
genial
Challenger
,
"
said
he
.
"
A
lot
of
people
have
accounts
to
settle
with
him
.
I
should
say
he
is
about
the
best-hated
man
in
London
.
If
the
medical
students
turn
out
there
will
be
no
end
of
a
rag
.
I
do
n't
want
to
get
into
a
bear-garden
.
"
"
You
might
at
least
do
him
the
justice
to
hear
him
state
his
own
case
.
"
"
Well
,
perhaps
it
's
only
fair
.
All
right
.
I
'm
your
man
for
the
evening
.
"
When
we
arrived
at
the
hall
we
found
a
much
greater
concourse
than
I
had
expected
.
A
line
of
electric
broughams
discharged
their
little
cargoes
of
white-bearded
professors
,
while
the
dark
stream
of
humbler
pedestrians
,
who
crowded
through
the
arched
door-way
,
showed
that
the
audience
would
be
popular
as
well
as
scientific
.
Indeed
,
it
became
evident
to
us
as
soon
as
we
had
taken
our
seats
that
a
youthful
and
even
boyish
spirit
was
abroad
in
the
gallery
and
the
back
portions
of
the
hall
.
Looking
behind
me
,
I
could
see
rows
of
faces
of
the
familiar
medical
student
type
.
Apparently
the
great
hospitals
had
each
sent
down
their
contingent
.
The
behavior
of
the
audience
at
present
was
good-humored
,
but
mischievous
.
Scraps
of
popular
songs
were
chorused
with
an
enthusiasm
which
was
a
strange
prelude
to
a
scientific
lecture
,
and
there
was
already
a
tendency
to
personal
chaff
which
promised
a
jovial
evening
to
others
,
however
embarrassing
it
might
be
to
the
recipients
of
these
dubious
honors
.
Thus
,
when
old
Doctor
Meldrum
,
with
his
well-known
curly-brimmed
opera-hat
,
appeared
upon
the
platform
,
there
was
such
a
universal
query
of
"
Where
DID
you
get
that
tile
?
"
that
he
hurriedly
removed
it
,
and
concealed
it
furtively
under
his
chair
.
When
gouty
Professor
Wadley
limped
down
to
his
seat
there
were
general
affectionate
inquiries
from
all
parts
of
the
hall
as
to
the
exact
state
of
his
poor
toe
,
which
caused
him
obvious
embarrassment
.
The
greatest
demonstration
of
all
,
however
,
was
at
the
entrance
of
my
new
acquaintance
,
Professor
Challenger
,
when
he
passed
down
to
take
his
place
at
the
extreme
end
of
the
front
row
of
the
platform
.
Such
a
yell
of
welcome
broke
forth
when
his
black
beard
first
protruded
round
the
corner
that
I
began
to
suspect
Tarp
Henry
was
right
in
his
surmise
,
and
that
this
assemblage
was
there
not
merely
for
the
sake
of
the
lecture
,
but
because
it
had
got
rumored
abroad
that
the
famous
Professor
would
take
part
in
the
proceedings
.
There
was
some
sympathetic
laughter
on
his
entrance
among
the
front
benches
of
well-dressed
spectators
,
as
though
the
demonstration
of
the
students
in
this
instance
was
not
unwelcome
to
them
.
That
greeting
was
,
indeed
,
a
frightful
outburst
of
sound
,
the
uproar
of
the
carnivora
cage
when
the
step
of
the
bucket-bearing
keeper
is
heard
in
the
distance
.
There
was
an
offensive
tone
in
it
,
perhaps
,
and
yet
in
the
main
it
struck
me
as
mere
riotous
outcry
,
the
noisy
reception
of
one
who
amused
and
interested
them
,
rather
than
of
one
they
disliked
or
despised
.
Challenger
smiled
with
weary
and
tolerant
contempt
,
as
a
kindly
man
would
meet
the
yapping
of
a
litter
of
puppies
.
He
sat
slowly
down
,
blew
out
his
chest
,
passed
his
hand
caressingly
down
his
beard
,
and
looked
with
drooping
eyelids
and
supercilious
eyes
at
the
crowded
hall
before
him
.
The
uproar
of
his
advent
had
not
yet
died
away
when
Professor
Ronald
Murray
,
the
chairman
,
and
Mr.
Waldron
,
the
lecturer
,
threaded
their
way
to
the
front
,
and
the
proceedings
began
.
Professor
Murray
will
,
I
am
sure
,
excuse
me
if
I
say
that
he
has
the
common
fault
of
most
Englishmen
of
being
inaudible
.
Why
on
earth
people
who
have
something
to
say
which
is
worth
hearing
should
not
take
the
slight
trouble
to
learn
how
to
make
it
heard
is
one
of
the
strange
mysteries
of
modern
life
.
Their
methods
are
as
reasonable
as
to
try
to
pour
some
precious
stuff
from
the
spring
to
the
reservoir
through
a
non-conducting
pipe
,
which
could
by
the
least
effort
be
opened
.
Professor
Murray
made
several
profound
remarks
to
his
white
tie
and
to
the
water-carafe
upon
the
table
,
with
a
humorous
,
twinkling
aside
to
the
silver
candlestick
upon
his
right
.
Then
he
sat
down
,
and
Mr.
Waldron
,
the
famous
popular
lecturer
,
rose
amid
a
general
murmur
of
applause
.
He
was
a
stern
,
gaunt
man
,
with
a
harsh
voice
,
and
an
aggressive
manner
,
but
he
had
the
merit
of
knowing
how
to
assimilate
the
ideas
of
other
men
,
and
to
pass
them
on
in
a
way
which
was
intelligible
and
even
interesting
to
the
lay
public
,
with
a
happy
knack
of
being
funny
about
the
most
unlikely
objects
,
so
that
the
precession
of
the
Equinox
or
the
formation
of
a
vertebrate
became
a
highly
humorous
process
as
treated
by
him
.
