What
could
have
occurred
in
the
interval
to
change
you
so
?
It
must
have
been
something
that
happened
last
night
.
You
have
been
thinking
it
over
and
you
have
disapproved
of
my
conduct
.
Was
it
the
mesmerism
?
Did
you
blame
me
for
letting
that
woman
exercise
her
power
over
you
?
You
know
that
at
the
least
sign
I
should
have
interfered
.
"
"
It
is
useless
,
Austin
.
All
is
over
:
"
Her
voice
was
cold
and
measured
;
her
manner
strangely
formal
and
hard
.
It
seemed
to
me
that
she
was
absolutely
resolved
not
to
be
drawn
into
any
argument
or
explanation
.
As
for
me
,
I
was
shaking
with
agitation
,
and
I
turned
my
face
aside
,
so
ashamed
was
I
that
she
should
see
my
want
of
control
.
"
You
must
know
what
this
means
to
me
!
"
I
cried
.
"
It
is
the
blasting
of
all
my
hopes
and
the
ruin
of
my
life
!
You
surely
will
not
inflict
such
a
punishment
upon
me
unheard
.
You
will
let
me
know
what
is
the
matter
.
Consider
how
impossible
it
would
be
for
me
,
under
any
circumstances
,
to
treat
you
so
.
For
God
’
s
sake
,
Agatha
,
let
me
know
what
I
have
done
!
"
She
walked
past
me
without
a
word
and
opened
the
door
.
"
It
is
quite
useless
,
Austin
,
"
said
she
.
"
You
must
consider
our
engagement
at
an
end
.
"
An
instant
later
she
was
gone
,
and
,
before
I
could
recover
myself
sufficiently
to
follow
her
,
I
heard
the
hall
-
door
close
behind
her
.
I
rushed
into
my
room
to
change
my
coat
,
with
the
idea
of
hurrying
round
to
Mrs
.
Marden
’
s
to
learn
from
her
what
the
cause
of
my
misfortune
might
be
.
So
shaken
was
I
that
I
could
hardly
lace
my
boots
.
Never
shall
I
forget
those
horrible
ten
minutes
.
I
had
just
pulled
on
my
overcoat
when
the
clock
upon
the
mantel
-
piece
struck
ten
.
Ten
!
I
associated
the
idea
with
Miss
Penclosa
’
s
note
.
It
was
lying
before
me
on
the
table
,
and
I
tore
it
open
.
It
was
scribbled
in
pencil
in
a
peculiarly
angular
handwriting
.
"
MY
DEAR
PROFESSOR
GILROY
[
it
said
]
:
Pray
excuse
the
personal
nature
of
the
test
which
I
am
giving
you
.
Professor
Wilson
happened
to
mention
the
relations
between
you
and
my
subject
of
this
evening
,
and
it
struck
me
that
nothing
could
be
more
convincing
to
you
than
if
I
were
to
suggest
to
Miss
Marden
that
she
should
call
upon
you
at
half
-
past
nine
to
-
morrow
morning
and
suspend
your
engagement
for
half
an
hour
or
so
.
Science
is
so
exacting
that
it
is
difficult
to
give
a
satisfying
test
,
but
I
am
convinced
that
this
at
least
will
be
an
action
which
she
would
be
most
unlikely
to
do
of
her
own
free
will
.
Forget
any
thing
that
she
may
have
said
,
as
she
has
really
nothing
whatever
to
do
with
it
,
and
will
certainly
not
recollect
any
thing
about
it
.
I
write
this
note
to
shorten
your
anxiety
,
and
to
beg
you
to
forgive
me
for
the
momentary
unhappiness
which
my
suggestion
must
have
caused
you
.
"
Yours
faithfully
;
"
HELEN
PENCLOSA
.
Really
,
when
I
had
read
the
note
,
I
was
too
relieved
to
be
angry
.
It
was
a
liberty
.
Certainly
it
was
a
very
great
liberty
indeed
on
the
part
of
a
lady
whom
I
had
only
met
once
.
But
,
after
all
,
I
had
challenged
her
by
my
scepticism
.
It
may
have
been
,
as
she
said
,
a
little
difficult
to
devise
a
test
which
would
satisfy
me
.
And
she
had
done
that
.
There
could
be
no
question
at
all
upon
the
point
.
For
me
hypnotic
suggestion
was
finally
established
.
It
took
its
place
from
now
onward
as
one
of
the
facts
of
life
.
That
Agatha
,
who
of
all
women
of
my
acquaintance
has
the
best
balanced
mind
,
had
been
reduced
to
a
condition
of
automatism
appeared
to
be
certain
.
A
person
at
a
distance
had
worked
her
as
an
engineer
on
the
shore
might
guide
a
Brennan
torpedo
.
A
second
soul
had
stepped
in
,
as
it
were
,
had
pushed
her
own
aside
,
and
had
seized
her
nervous
mechanism
,
saying
:
"
I
will
work
this
for
half
an
hour
.
"
And
Agatha
must
have
been
unconscious
as
she
came
and
as
she
returned
.
Could
she
make
her
way
in
safety
through
the
streets
in
such
a
state
?
I
put
on
my
hat
and
hurried
round
to
see
if
all
was
well
with
her
.
Yes
.
She
was
at
home
.
I
was
shown
into
the
drawing
-
room
and
found
her
sitting
with
a
book
upon
her
lap
.
"
You
are
an
early
visitor
,
Austin
,
"
said
she
,
smiling
.
"
And
you
have
been
an
even
earlier
one
,
"
I
answered
.
She
looked
puzzled
.
"
What
do
you
mean
?
"
she
asked
.
"
You
have
not
been
out
to
-
day
?
"
"
No
,
certainly
not
.
"
"
Agatha
,
"
said
I
seriously
,
"
would
you
mind
telling
me
exactly
what
you
have
done
this
morning
?
"
She
laughed
at
my
earnestness
.
"
You
’
ve
got
on
your
professional
look
,
Austin
.
See
what
comes
of
being
engaged
to
a
man
of
science
.
However
,
I
will
tell
you
,
though
I
can
’
t
imagine
what
you
want
to
know
for
.
I
got
up
at
eight
.
I
breakfasted
at
half
-
past
.
I
came
into
this
room
at
ten
minutes
past
nine
and
began
to
read
the
’
Memoirs
of
Mme
.
de
Remusat
.
’
In
a
few
minutes
I
did
the
French
lady
the
bad
compliment
of
dropping
to
sleep
over
her
pages
,
and
I
did
you
,
sir
,
the
very
flattering
one
of
dreaming
about
you
.
It
is
only
a
few
minutes
since
I
woke
up
.
"
"
And
found
yourself
where
you
had
been
before
?
"
"
Why
,
where
else
should
I
find
myself
?
"
"
Would
you
mind
telling
me
,
Agatha
,
what
it
was
that
you
dreamed
about
me
?
It
really
is
not
mere
curiosity
on
my
part
.
"
"
I
merely
had
a
vague
impression
that
you
came
into
it
.
I
cannot
recall
any
thing
definite
.
"
"
If
you
have
not
been
out
to
-
day
,
Agatha
,
how
is
it
that
your
shoes
are
dusty
?
"
A
pained
look
came
over
her
face
.
"
Really
,
Austin
,
I
do
not
know
what
is
the
matter
with
you
this
morning
.
One
would
almost
think
that
you
doubted
my
word
.
If
my
boots
are
dusty
,
it
must
be
,
of
course
,
that
I
have
put
on
a
pair
which
the
maid
had
not
cleaned
.
"
It
was
perfectly
evident
that
she
knew
nothing
whatever
about
the
matter
,
and
I
reflected
that
,
after
all
,
perhaps
it
was
better
that
I
should
not
enlighten
her
.
It
might
frighten
her
,
and
could
serve
no
good
purpose
that
I
could
see
.
I
said
no
more
about
it
,
therefore
,
and
left
shortly
afterward
to
give
my
lecture
.
But
I
am
immensely
impressed
.
My
horizon
of
scientific
possibilities
has
suddenly
been
enormously
extended
.
I
no
longer
wonder
at
Wilson
’
s
demonic
energy
and
enthusiasm
.
Who
would
not
work
hard
who
had
a
vast
virgin
field
ready
to
his
hand
?
Why
,
I
have
known
the
novel
shape
of
a
nucleolus
,
or
a
trifling
peculiarity
of
striped
muscular
fibre
seen
under
a
300
-
diameter
lens
,
fill
me
with
exultation
.
How
petty
do
such
researches
seem
when
compared
with
this
one
which
strikes
at
the
very
roots
of
life
and
the
nature
of
the
soul
!
I
had
always
looked
upon
spirit
as
a
product
of
matter
.
The
brain
,
I
thought
,
secreted
the
mind
,
as
the
liver
does
the
bile
But
how
can
this
be
when
I
see
mind
working
from
a
distance
and
playing
upon
matter
as
a
musician
might
upon
a
violin
?
The
body
does
not
give
rise
to
the
soul
,
then
,
but
is
rather
the
rough
instrument
by
which
the
spirit
manifests
itself
.
The
windmill
does
not
give
rise
to
the
wind
,
but
only
indicates
it
.
It
was
opposed
to
my
whole
habit
of
thought
,
and
yet
it
was
undeniably
possible
and
worthy
of
investigation
.
And
why
should
I
not
investigate
it
?
I
see
that
under
yesterday
’
s
date
I
said
:
"
If
I
could
see
something
positive
and
objective
,
I
might
be
tempted
to
approach
it
from
the
physiological
aspect
.
"
Well
,
I
have
got
my
test
.
I
shall
be
as
good
as
my
word
.
The
investigation
would
,
I
am
sure
,
be
of
immense
interest
.
Some
of
my
colleagues
might
look
askance
at
it
,
for
science
is
full
of
unreasoning
prejudices
,
but
if
Wilson
has
the
courage
of
his
convictions
,
I
can
afford
to
have
it
also
.
I
shall
go
to
him
to
-
morrow
morning
—
to
him
and
to
Miss
Penclosa
.
If
she
can
show
us
so
much
,
it
is
probable
that
she
can
show
us
more
.
March
26
.
Wilson
was
,
as
I
had
anticipated
,
very
exultant
over
my
conversion
,
and
Miss
Penclosa
was
also
demurely
pleased
at
the
result
of
her
experiment
.
Strange
what
a
silent
,
colorless
creature
she
is
save
only
when
she
exercises
her
power
!
Even
talking
about
it
gives
her
color
and
life
.
She
seems
to
take
a
singular
interest
in
me
.
I
cannot
help
observing
how
her
eyes
follow
me
about
the
room
.
We
had
the
most
interesting
conversation
about
her
own
powers
.
It
is
just
as
well
to
put
her
views
on
record
,
though
they
cannot
,
of
course
,
claim
any
scientific
weight
.
"
You
are
on
the
very
fringe
of
the
subject
,
"
said
she
,
when
I
had
expressed
wonder
at
the
remarkable
instance
of
suggestion
which
she
had
shown
me
.
"
I
had
no
direct
influence
upon
Miss
Marden
when
she
came
round
to
you
.
I
was
not
even
thinking
of
her
that
morning
.
What
I
did
was
to
set
her
mind
as
I
might
set
the
alarum
of
a
clock
so
that
at
the
hour
named
it
would
go
off
of
its
own
accord
.
If
six
months
instead
of
twelve
hours
had
been
suggested
,
it
would
have
been
the
same
.
"
"
And
if
the
suggestion
had
been
to
assassinate
me
?
"
"
She
would
most
inevitably
have
done
so
.
"
"
But
this
is
a
terrible
power
!
"
I
cried
.
"
It
is
,
as
you
say
,
a
terrible
power
,
"
she
answered
gravely
,
"
and
the
more
you
know
of
it
the
more
terrible
will
it
seem
to
you
.
"
"
May
I
ask
,
"
said
I
,
"
what
you
meant
when
you
said
that
this
matter
of
suggestion
is
only
at
the
fringe
of
it
?
What
do
you
consider
the
essential
?
"
"
I
had
rather
not
tell
you
.
"
I
was
surprised
at
the
decision
of
her
answer
.
"
You
understand
,
"
said
I
,
"
that
it
is
not
out
of
curiosity
I
ask
,
but
in
the
hope
that
I
may
find
some
scientific
explanation
for
the
facts
with
which
you
furnish
me
.
"
"
Frankly
,
Professor
Gilroy
,
"
said
she
,
"
I
am
not
at
all
interested
in
science
,
nor
do
I
care
whether
it
can
or
cannot
classify
these
powers
.
"
"
But
I
was
hoping
—
—
"
"
Ah
,
that
is
quite
another
thing
.
If
you
make
it
a
personal
matter
,
"
said
she
,
with
the
pleasantest
of
smiles
,
"
I
shall
be
only
too
happy
to
tell
you
any
thing
you
wish
to
know
.
Let
me
see
;
what
was
it
you
asked
me
?
Oh
,
about
the
further
powers
.
Professor
Wilson
won
’
t
believe
in
them
,
but
they
are
quite
true
all
the
same
.
For
example
,
it
is
possible
for
an
operator
to
gain
complete
command
over
his
subject
—
presuming
that
the
latter
is
a
good
one
.
Without
any
previous
suggestion
he
may
make
him
do
whatever
he
likes
.
"
"
Without
the
subject
’
s
knowledge
?
"
"
That
depends
.
If
the
force
were
strongly
exerted
,
he
would
know
no
more
about
it
than
Miss
Marden
did
when
she
came
round
and
frightened
you
so
.
Or
,
if
the
influence
was
less
powerful
,
he
might
be
conscious
of
what
he
was
doing
,
but
be
quite
unable
to
prevent
himself
from
doing
it
.
"
"
Would
he
have
lost
his
own
will
power
,
then
?
"
"
It
would
be
over
-
ridden
by
another
stronger
one
.
"
"
Have
you
ever
exercised
this
power
yourself
?
"
"
Several
times
.
"
"
Is
your
own
will
so
strong
,
then
?
"
"
Well
,
it
does
not
entirely
depend
upon
that
.
Many
have
strong
wills
which
are
not
detachable
from
themselves
.
The
thing
is
to
have
the
gift
of
projecting
it
into
another
person
and
superseding
his
own
.
I
find
that
the
power
varies
with
my
own
strength
and
health
.
"
"
Practically
,
you
send
your
soul
into
another
person
’
s
body
.
"
"
Well
,
you
might
put
it
that
way
.
"
"
And
what
does
your
own
body
do
?
"
"
It
merely
feels
lethargic
.
"
"
Well
,
but
is
there
no
danger
to
your
own
health
?
"
I
asked
.
"
There
might
be
a
little
.
You
have
to
be
careful
never
to
let
your
own
consciousness
absolutely
go
;
otherwise
,
you
might
experience
some
difficulty
in
finding
your
way
back
again
.
You
must
always
preserve
the
connection
,
as
it
were
.
I
am
afraid
I
express
myself
very
badly
,
Professor
Gilroy
,
but
of
course
I
don
’
t
know
how
to
put
these
things
in
a
scientific
way
.
I
am
just
giving
you
my
own
experiences
and
my
own
explanations
.
"
Well
,
I
read
this
over
now
at
my
leisure
,
and
I
marvel
at
myself
!
Is
this
Austin
Gilroy
,
the
man
who
has
won
his
way
to
the
front
by
his
hard
reasoning
power
and
by
his
devotion
to
fact
?
Here
I
am
gravely
retailing
the
gossip
of
a
woman
who
tells
me
how
her
soul
may
be
projected
from
her
body
,
and
how
,
while
she
lies
in
a
lethargy
,
she
can
control
the
actions
of
people
at
a
distance
.
Do
I
accept
it
?
Certainly
not
.
She
must
prove
and
re
-
prove
before
I
yield
a
point
.
But
if
I
am
still
a
sceptic
,
I
have
at
least
ceased
to
be
a
scoffer
.
We
are
to
have
a
sitting
this
evening
,
and
she
is
to
try
if
she
can
produce
any
mesmeric
effect
upon
me
.
If
she
can
,
it
will
make
an
excellent
starting
-
point
for
our
investigation
.
No
one
can
accuse
me
,
at
any
rate
,
of
complicity
.
If
she
cannot
,
we
must
try
and
find
some
subject
who
will
be
like
Caesar
’
s
wife
.
Wilson
is
perfectly
impervious
.

P

I
believe
that
I
am
on
the
threshold
of
an
epoch
-
making
investigation
.
To
have
the
power
of
examining
these
phenomena
from
inside
—
to
have
an
organism
which
will
respond
,
and
at
the
same
time
a
brain
which
will
appreciate
and
criticise
—
that
is
surely
a
unique
advantage
.
I
am
quite
sure
that
Wilson
would
give
five
years
of
his
life
to
be
as
susceptible
as
I
have
proved
myself
to
be
.
There
was
no
one
present
except
Wilson
and
his
wife
.
I
was
seated
with
my
head
leaning
back
,
and
Miss
Penclosa
,
standing
in
front
and
a
little
to
the
left
,
used
the
same
long
,
sweeping
strokes
as
with
Agatha
.
At
each
of
them
a
warm
current
of
air
seemed
to
strike
me
,
and
to
suffuse
a
thrill
and
glow
all
through
me
from
head
to
foot
.
My
eyes
were
fixed
upon
Miss
Penclosa
’
s
face
,
but
as
I
gazed
the
features
seemed
to
blur
and
to
fade
away
.
I
was
conscious
only
of
her
own
eyes
looking
down
at
me
,
gray
,
deep
,
inscrutable
.
Larger
they
grew
and
larger
,
until
they
changed
suddenly
into
two
mountain
lakes
toward
which
I
seemed
to
be
falling
with
horrible
rapidity
.
I
shuddered
,
and
as
I
did
so
some
deeper
stratum
of
thought
told
me
that
the
shudder
represented
the
rigor
which
I
had
observed
in
Agatha
.
An
instant
later
I
struck
the
surface
of
the
lakes
,
now
joined
into
one
,
and
down
I
went
beneath
the
water
with
a
fulness
in
my
head
and
a
buzzing
in
my
ears
.
Down
I
went
,
down
,
down
,
and
then
with
a
swoop
up
again
until
I
could
see
the
light
streaming
brightly
through
the
green
water
.
I
was
almost
at
the
surface
when
the
word
"
Awake
!
"
rang
through
my
head
,
and
,
with
a
start
,
I
found
myself
back
in
the
arm
-
chair
,
with
Miss
Penclosa
leaning
on
her
crutch
,
and
Wilson
,
his
note
book
in
his
hand
,
peeping
over
her
shoulder
.
No
heaviness
or
weariness
was
left
behind
.
On
the
contrary
,
though
it
is
only
an
hour
or
so
since
the
experiment
,
I
feel
so
wakeful
that
I
am
more
inclined
for
my
study
than
my
bedroom
.
I
see
quite
a
vista
of
interesting
experiments
extending
before
us
,
and
am
all
impatience
to
begin
upon
them
.
March
27
.
A
blank
day
,
as
Miss
Penclosa
goes
with
Wilson
and
his
wife
to
the
Suttons
’
.
Have
begun
Binet
and
Ferre
’
s
"
Animal
Magnetism
.
"
What
strange
,
deep
waters
these
are
!
Results
,
results
,
results
—
and
the
cause
an
absolute
mystery
.
It
is
stimulating
to
the
imagination
,
but
I
must
be
on
my
guard
against
that
.
Let
us
have
no
inferences
nor
deductions
,
and
nothing
but
solid
facts
.
I
KNOW
that
the
mesmeric
trance
is
true
;
I
KNOW
that
mesmeric
suggestion
is
true
;
I
KNOW
that
I
am
myself
sensitive
to
this
force
.
That
is
my
present
position
.
I
have
a
large
new
note
-
book
which
shall
be
devoted
entirely
to
scientific
detail
.
Long
talk
with
Agatha
and
Mrs
.
Marden
in
the
evening
about
our
marriage
.
We
think
that
the
summer
vac
.
(
the
beginning
of
it
)
would
be
the
best
time
for
the
wedding
.
Why
should
we
delay
?
I
grudge
even
those
few
months
.
Still
,
as
Mrs
.
Marden
says
,
there
are
a
good
many
things
to
be
arranged
.
