Compose
yourself
,
"
said
I.
He
turned
a
dreadful
smile
to
me
,
and
as
if
with
the
decision
of
despair
,
plucked
away
the
sheet
.
At
sight
of
the
contents
,
he
uttered
one
loud
sob
of
such
immense
relief
that
I
sat
petrified
.
And
the
next
moment
,
in
a
voice
that
was
already
fairly
well
under
control
,
"
Have
you
a
graduated
glass
?
"
he
asked
.
I
rose
from
my
place
with
something
of
an
effort
and
gave
him
what
he
asked
.
He
thanked
me
with
a
smiling
nod
,
measured
out
a
few
minims
of
the
red
tincture
and
added
one
of
the
powders
.
The
mixture
,
which
was
at
first
of
a
reddish
hue
,
began
,
in
proportion
as
the
crystals
melted
,
to
brighten
in
colour
,
to
effervesce
audibly
,
and
to
throw
off
small
fumes
of
vapour
.
Suddenly
and
at
the
same
moment
,
the
ebullition
ceased
and
the
compound
changed
to
a
dark
purple
,
which
faded
again
more
slowly
to
a
watery
green
.
My
visitor
,
who
had
watched
these
metamorphoses
with
a
keen
eye
,
smiled
,
set
down
the
glass
upon
the
table
,
and
then
turned
and
looked
upon
me
with
an
air
of
scrutiny
.
"
And
now
,
"
said
he
,
"
to
settle
what
remains
.
Will
you
be
wise
?
will
you
be
guided
?
will
you
suffer
me
to
take
this
glass
in
my
hand
and
to
go
forth
from
your
house
without
further
parley
?
or
has
the
greed
of
curiosity
too
much
command
of
you
?
Think
before
you
answer
,
for
it
shall
be
done
as
you
decide
.
As
you
decide
,
you
shall
be
left
as
you
were
before
,
and
neither
richer
nor
wiser
,
unless
the
sense
of
service
rendered
to
a
man
in
mortal
distress
may
be
counted
as
a
kind
of
riches
of
the
soul
.
Or
,
if
you
shall
so
prefer
to
choose
,
a
new
province
of
knowledge
and
new
avenues
to
fame
and
power
shall
be
laid
open
to
you
,
here
,
in
this
room
,
upon
the
instant
;
and
your
sight
shall
be
blasted
by
a
prodigy
to
stagger
the
unbelief
of
Satan
.
"
"
Will
you
suffer
me
to
take
this
glass
in
my
hand
"
"
Sir
,
"
said
I
,
affecting
a
coolness
that
I
was
far
from
truly
possessing
,
"
you
speak
enigmas
,
and
you
will
perhaps
not
wonder
that
I
hear
you
with
no
very
strong
impression
of
belief
.
But
I
have
gone
too
far
in
the
way
of
inexplicable
services
to
pause
before
I
see
the
end
.
"
"
It
is
well
,
"
replied
my
visitor
.
"
Lanyon
,
you
remember
your
vows
:
what
follows
is
under
the
seal
of
our
profession
.
And
now
,
you
who
have
so
long
been
bound
to
the
most
narrow
and
material
views
,
you
who
have
denied
the
virtue
of
transcendental
medicine
,
you
who
have
derided
your
superiors
--
behold
!
