Neither
do
you
Granzer
,
"
Hoo-Hoo
retorted
.
"
I
know
,
I
know
,
I
am
a
filthy
old
man
,
but
times
have
changed
.
Nobody
washes
these
days
,
there
are
no
conveniences
.
It
is
sixty
years
since
I
have
seen
a
piece
of
soap
.
"
You
do
not
know
what
soap
is
,
and
I
shall
not
tell
you
,
for
I
am
telling
the
story
of
the
Scarlet
Death
.
You
know
what
sickness
is
.
We
called
it
a
disease
.
Very
many
of
the
diseases
came
from
what
we
called
germs
.
Remember
that
word
--
germs
.
A
germ
is
a
very
small
thing
.
It
is
like
a
woodtick
,
such
as
you
find
on
the
dogs
in
the
spring
of
the
year
when
they
run
in
the
forest
.
Only
the
germ
is
very
small
.
It
is
so
small
that
you
can
not
see
it
--
"
Hoo-Hoo
began
to
laugh
.
"
You
're
a
queer
un
,
Granser
,
talking
about
things
you
ca
n't
see
.
If
you
ca
n't
see
'em
,
how
do
you
know
they
are
?
That
's
what
I
want
to
know
.
How
do
you
know
anything
you
ca
n't
see
?
"
"
A
good
question
,
a
very
good
question
,
Hoo-Hoo
.
But
we
did
see
--
some
of
them
.
We
had
what
we
called
microscopes
and
ultramicroscopes
,
and
we
put
them
to
our
eyes
and
looked
through
them
,
so
that
we
saw
things
larger
than
they
really
were
,
and
many
things
we
could
not
see
without
the
microscopes
at
all
.
Our
best
ultramicroscopes
could
make
a
germ
look
forty
thousand
times
larger
.
A
mussel-shell
is
a
thousand
fingers
like
Edwin
's
.
Take
forty
mussel-shells
,
and
by
as
many
times
larger
was
the
germ
when
we
looked
at
it
through
a
microscope
.
And
after
that
,
we
had
other
ways
,
by
using
what
we
called
moving
pictures
,
of
making
the
forty-thousand-times
germ
many
,
many
thousand
times
larger
still
.
And
thus
we
saw
all
these
things
which
our
eyes
of
themselves
could
not
see
.
Take
a
grain
of
sand
.
Break
it
into
ten
pieces
.
Take
one
piece
and
break
it
into
ten
.
Break
one
of
those
pieces
into
ten
,
and
one
of
those
into
ten
,
and
one
of
those
into
ten
,
and
one
of
those
into
ten
,
and
do
it
all
day
,
and
maybe
,
by
sunset
,
you
will
have
a
piece
as
small
as
one
of
the
germs
.
"
The
boys
were
openly
incredulous
.
Hare-Lip
sniffed
and
sneered
and
Hoo-Hoo
snickered
,
until
Edwin
nudged
them
to
be
silent
.
"
The
woodtick
sucks
the
blood
of
the
dog
,
but
the
germ
,
being
so
very
small
,
goes
right
into
the
blood
of
the
body
,
and
there
it
has
many
children
.
In
those
days
there
would
be
as
many
as
a
billion
--
a
crab-shell
,
please
--
as
many
as
that
crab-shell
in
one
man
's
body
.
We
called
germs
micro-organisms
.
When
a
few
million
,
or
a
billion
,
of
them
were
in
a
man
,
in
all
the
blood
of
a
man
,
he
was
sick
.
These
germs
were
a
disease
.
There
were
many
different
kinds
of
them
--
more
different
kinds
than
there
are
grains
of
sand
on
this
beach
.
We
knew
only
a
few
of
the
kinds
.
The
micro-organic
world
was
an
invisible
world
,
a
world
we
could
not
see
,
and
we
knew
very
little
about
it
.
Yet
we
did
know
something
.
There
was
the
bacillus
anthracis
;
there
was
the
micrococcus
;
there
was
the
Bacterium
termo
,
and
the
Bacterium
lactis
--
that
's
what
turns
the
goat
milk
sour
even
to
this
day
,
Hare-Lip
;
and
there
were
Schizomycetes
without
end
.
And
there
were
many
others
...
.
"
Here
the
old
man
launched
into
a
disquisition
on
germs
and
their
natures
,
using
words
and
phrases
of
such
extraordinary
length
and
meaninglessness
,
that
the
boys
grinned
at
one
another
and
looked
out
over
the
deserted
ocean
till
they
forgot
the
old
man
was
babbling
on
.
"
But
the
Scarlet
Death
,
Granser
,
"
Edwin
at
last
suggested
.
