Experiment Perilous Page #2

of the party? I forgot.

Come on, I'll show you.

- Good evening, Dr. Bailey.

- Good evening.

- Hello, Hunt.

- How are you?

There. Isn't it tremendous?

Get the power and strength.

Can almost see her

straining to move.

What is it?

What is it? Woman.

Woman incarnate.

It's far and away

the best thing I've ever done.

Look at the effect.

Well, the whole thing

is an absolute masterpiece.

- Modest, isn't he?

- You really like it?

- Not much.

- Why should you?

What do you

know, you mental inquisitor.

Elaine, you're

wasting your time.

- You think so?

- I do.

He looks into the eyes

of a beautiful woman

And the only thing he sees

is an inflamed cornea.

I'm only joking, Clag.

It's really very good.

Then, at last, I can

consider myself a success.

- Say, Clag.

- Hm.

Come here.

I want to talk to you.

Serpents in their hair, eh?

I'm afraid that's

how Clag sees us.

Would you like me

to get you a drink?

Oh, thank you.

'She said she was chilly. '

'And Allida poured

her second cup of tea. '

'I was sitting

right next to her. '

'And she didn't seem to be

able to hold the cup. '

'Nick spoke to her sharply. '

'And then everything

happened at once. '

'Allida jumped up, and the

flowers fell off her lap. '

She took one arm,

and Nick took the other.

I said,

"Shall I call a doctor?"

And Nick said, "Nonsense. She

has had these attacks before. "

- What's this?

- Oh, do you know each other?

John Maitland,

Huntington Bailey.

How are you?

I was just speaking of the death

of Bederaux's sister.

- Death?

- 'Yes, this afternoon at tea. '

'She had a heart attack. '

Nick came down and said

it was the excitement.

We all went right

on talking again.

And Cissie was dying then.

All by herself upstairs.

- Wasn't a doctor called?

- 'Not that I know of. '

'Nobody thought that

it was very serious. '

Too bad. I liked Cissie.

Hadn't seen her

for years though.

'She'd been out

at a sanatorium'

'Or something of the sort. '

The baboon sister

Kissed so hard

he raised a blister

- What is that?

- "I went to the animal fair. "

The old baboon by

the light of the moon

Was combing his auburn hair

I know, what made me think

of that. Bederaux's sister.

The baboon's sister.

You know him, Hunt?

No.

- Why baboon?

- I don't know.

Sort of that

quality about him.

The way he looks up at you,

rather peculiarly.

'I think, Allida is the

most beautiful woman I've ever seen. '

She is a work of art.

I don't like beautiful women,

it makes them nervous.

Hunt.

I don't remember you mentioning

the Bederauxs before.

No, I fancied myself in love

with Allida some years ago

When I first met her.

Along with a dozen others.
