"
Profound
!
Profound
!
"
cried
Challenger
.
"
Now
,
my
young
friend
,
is
it
possible
that
wisdom
may
come
from
you
where
your
seniors
have
so
signally
failed
?
"
172
And
it
did
.
I
say
it
with
all
modesty
,
but
it
did
.
Of
course
,
it
all
seems
obvious
enough
to
you
who
know
what
occurred
,
but
it
was
not
so
very
clear
when
everything
was
new
.
But
it
came
on
me
suddenly
with
the
full
force
of
absolute
conviction
.
173
"
Poison
!
"
I
cried
.

Then
,
even
as
I
said
the
word
,
my
mind
flashed
back
over
the
whole
morning
s
experiences
,
past
Lord
John
with
his
buffalo
,
past
my
own
hysterical
tears
,
past
the
outrageous
conduct
of
Professor
Summerlee
,
to
the
queer
happenings
in
London
,
the
row
in
the
park
,
the
driving
of
the
chauffeur
,
the
quarrel
at
the
oxygen
warehouse
.
Everything
fitted
suddenly
into
its
place
.
175
"
Of
course
,
"
I
cried
again
.
"
It
is
poison
.
We
are
all
poisoned
.
"
176
"
Exactly
,
"
said
Challenger
,
rubbing
his
hands
,
"
we
are
all
poisoned
.
177
Our
planet
has
swum
into
the
poison
belt
of
ether
,
and
is
now
flying
deeper
into
it
at
the
rate
of
some
millions
of
miles
a
minute
.
Our
young
friend
has
expressed
the
cause
of
all
our
troubles
and
perplexities
in
a
single
word
,
poison
.

We
looked
at
each
other
in
amazed
silence
.
No
comment
seemed
to
meet
the
situation
.
179
"
There
is
a
mental
inhibition
by
which
such
symptoms
can
be
checked
and
controlled
,
"
said
Challenger
.
"
I
cannot
expect
to
find
it
developed
in
all
of
you
to
the
same
point
which
it
has
reached
in
me
,
for
I
suppose
that
the
strength
of
our
different
mental
processes
bears
some
proportion
to
each
other
.
But
no
doubt
it
is
appreciable
even
in
our
young
friend
here
.
After
the
little
outburst
of
high
spirits
which
so
alarmed
my
domestic
I
sat
down
and
reasoned
with
myself
.
I
put
it
to
myself
that
I
had
never
before
felt
impelled
to
bite
any
of
my
household
.
The
impulse
had
then
been
an
abnormal
one
.
In
an
instant
I
perceived
the
truth
.
My
pulse
upon
examination
was
ten
beats
above
the
usual
,
and
my
reflexes
were
increased
.
I
called
upon
my
higher
and
saner
self
,
the
real
G
.
E
.
C
.
,
seated
serene
and
impregnable
behind
all
mere
molecular
disturbance
.
I
summoned
him
,
I
say
,
to
watch
the
foolish
mental
tricks
which
the
poison
would
play
.
I
found
that
I
was
indeed
the
master
.
I
could
recognize
and
control
a
disordered
mind
.
It
was
a
remarkable
exhibition
of
the
victory
of
mind
over
matter
,
for
it
was
a
victory
over
that
particular
form
of
matter
which
is
most
intimately
connected
with
mind
.
I
might
almost
say
that
mind
was
at
fault
and
that
personality
controlled
it
.

Thus
,
when
my
wife
came
downstairs
and
I
was
impelled
to
slip
behind
the
door
and
alarm
her
by
some
wild
cry
as
she
entered
,
I
was
able
to
stifle
the
impulse
and
to
greet
her
with
dignity
and
restraint
.
An
overpowering
desire
to
quack
like
a
duck
was
met
and
mastered
in
the
same
fashion
.
