"
I
scarcely
follow
you
,
"
he
said
dubiously
.
Martin
was
not
so
sure
but
what
he
had
followed
him
.
"
Then
I
’
ll
try
to
explain
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
remember
reading
in
Egyptian
history
something
to
the
effect
that
understanding
could
not
be
had
of
Egyptian
art
without
first
studying
the
land
question
.
"
"
Quite
right
,
"
the
professor
nodded
.
"
And
it
seems
to
me
,
"
Martin
continued
,
"
that
knowledge
of
the
land
question
,
in
turn
,
of
all
questions
,
for
that
matter
,
cannot
be
had
without
previous
knowledge
of
the
stuff
and
the
constitution
of
life
.
How
can
we
understand
laws
and
institutions
,
religions
and
customs
,
without
understanding
,
not
merely
the
nature
of
the
creatures
that
made
them
,
but
the
nature
of
the
stuff
out
of
which
the
creatures
are
made
?
Is
literature
less
human
than
the
architecture
and
sculpture
of
Egypt
?
Is
there
one
thing
in
the
known
universe
that
is
not
subject
to
the
law
of
evolution
?
—
Oh
,
I
know
there
is
an
elaborate
evolution
of
the
various
arts
laid
down
,
but
it
seems
to
me
to
be
too
mechanical
.
The
human
himself
is
left
out
.
The
evolution
of
the
tool
,
of
the
harp
,
of
music
and
song
and
dance
,
are
all
beautifully
elaborated
;
but
how
about
the
evolution
of
the
human
himself
,
the
development
of
the
basic
and
intrinsic
parts
that
were
in
him
before
he
made
his
first
tool
or
gibbered
his
first
chant
?
It
is
that
which
you
do
not
consider
,
and
which
I
call
biology
.
It
is
biology
in
its
largest
aspects
.
"
I
know
I
express
myself
incoherently
,
but
I
’
ve
tried
to
hammer
out
the
idea
.
It
came
to
me
as
you
were
talking
,
so
I
was
not
primed
and
ready
to
deliver
it
.
You
spoke
yourself
of
the
human
frailty
that
prevented
one
from
taking
all
the
factors
into
consideration
.
And
you
,
in
turn
,
—
or
so
it
seems
to
me
,
—
leave
out
the
biological
factor
,
the
very
stuff
out
of
which
has
been
spun
the
fabric
of
all
the
arts
,
the
warp
and
the
woof
of
all
human
actions
and
achievements
.
"
To
Ruth
’
s
amazement
,
Martin
was
not
immediately
crushed
,
and
that
the
professor
replied
in
the
way
he
did
struck
her
as
forbearance
for
Martin
’
s
youth
.
Professor
Caldwell
sat
for
a
full
minute
,
silent
and
fingering
his
watch
chain
.
"
Do
you
know
,
"
he
said
at
last
,
"
I
’
ve
had
that
same
criticism
passed
on
me
once
before
—
by
a
very
great
man
,
a
scientist
and
evolutionist
,
Joseph
Le
Conte
.
But
he
is
dead
,
and
I
thought
to
remain
undetected
;
and
now
you
come
along
and
expose
me
.
Seriously
,
though
—
and
this
is
confession
—
I
think
there
is
something
in
your
contention
—
a
great
deal
,
in
fact
.
I
am
too
classical
,
not
enough
up
-
to
-
date
in
the
interpretative
branches
of
science
,
and
I
can
only
plead
the
disadvantages
of
my
education
and
a
temperamental
slothfulness
that
prevents
me
from
doing
the
work
.
I
wonder
if
you
’
ll
believe
that
I
’
ve
never
been
inside
a
physics
or
chemistry
laboratory
?
It
is
true
,
nevertheless
.
Le
Conte
was
right
,
and
so
are
you
,
Mr
.
Eden
,
at
least
to
an
extent
—
how
much
I
do
not
know
.
