E
can
sack
me
till
e
s
blue
in
the
face
,
but
I
ain
t
going
,
and
that
s
flat
.
I
m
is
man
and
e
s
my
master
,
and
so
it
will
be
,
I
expect
,
to
the
end
of
the
chapter
.

We
had
passed
between
the
white
posts
of
a
gate
and
up
a
curving
drive
,
lined
with
rhododendron
bushes
.
Beyond
stood
a
low
brick
house
,
picked
out
with
white
woodwork
,
very
comfortable
and
pretty
.
Mrs
.
Challenger
,
a
small
,
dainty
,
smiling
figure
,
stood
in
the
open
doorway
to
welcome
us
.
133
"
Well
,
my
dear
,
"
said
Challenger
,
bustling
out
of
the
car
,
"
here
are
our
visitors
.
It
is
something
new
for
us
to
have
visitors
,
is
it
not
?
No
love
lost
between
us
and
our
neighbors
,
is
there
?
If
they
could
get
rat
poison
into
our
baker
s
cart
,
I
expect
it
would
be
there
.

"
It
s
dreadful
dreadful
!
"
cried
the
lady
,
between
laughter
and
tears
.
"
George
is
always
quarreling
with
everyone
.
We
haven
t
a
friend
on
the
countryside
.
"
135
"
It
enables
me
to
concentrate
my
attention
upon
my
incomparable
wife
,
"
said
Challenger
,
passing
his
short
,
thick
arm
round
her
waist
.
Picture
a
gorilla
and
a
gazelle
,
and
you
have
the
pair
of
them
.
"
Come
,
come
,
these
gentlemen
are
tired
from
the
journey
,
and
luncheon
should
be
ready
.
Has
Sarah
returned
?
"
136
The
lady
shook
her
head
ruefully
,
and
the
Professor
laughed
loudly
and
stroked
his
beard
in
his
masterful
fashion
.
137
"
Austin
,
"
he
cried
,
"
when
you
have
put
up
the
car
you
will
kindly
help
your
mistress
to
lay
the
lunch
.
Now
,
gentlemen
,
will
you
please
step
into
my
study
,
for
there
are
one
or
two
very
urgent
things
which
I
am
anxious
to
say
to
you
.

As
we
crossed
the
hall
the
telephone
-
bell
rang
,
and
we
were
the
involuntary
auditors
of
Professor
Challenger
s
end
of
the
ensuing
dialogue
.
I
say
"
we
,
"
but
no
one
within
a
hundred
yards
could
have
failed
to
hear
the
booming
of
that
monstrous
voice
,
which
reverberated
through
the
house
.
His
answers
lingered
in
my
mind
.
139
"
Yes
,
yes
,
of
course
,
it
is
I
.
.
.
.
Yes
,
certainly
,
the
Professor
Challenger
,
the
famous
Professor
,
who
else
?
.
.
.
Of
course
,
every
word
of
it
,
otherwise
I
should
not
have
written
it
.
.
.
.
I
shouldn
t
be
surprised
.
.
.
.
There
is
every
indication
of
it
.
.
.
.
Within
a
day
or
so
at
the
furthest
.
.
.
.
Well
,
I
can
t
help
that
,
can
I
?
.
.
.
Very
unpleasant
,
no
doubt
,
but
I
rather
fancy
it
will
affect
more
important
people
than
you
.
There
is
no
use
whining
about
it
.
.
.
.
No
,
I
couldn
t
possibly
.
You
must
take
your
chance
.
.
.
.
That
s
enough
,
sir
.
Nonsense
!
I
have
something
more
important
to
do
than
to
listen
to
such
twaddle
.

He
shut
off
with
a
crash
and
led
us
upstairs
into
a
large
airy
apartment
which
formed
his
study
.
On
the
great
mahogany
desk
seven
or
eight
unopened
telegrams
were
lying
.
