"
You
had
a
scrap
once
before
with
old
man
Challenger
,
"
said
he
sternly
,
"
and
you
were
down
and
out
inside
ten
seconds
.
It
seems
to
me
,
Professor
Summerlee
,
he
s
beyond
your
class
,
and
the
best
you
can
do
with
him
is
to
walk
wide
and
leave
him
alone
.
"
72
"
Besides
,
"
said
I
,
"
he
has
been
a
good
friend
to
every
one
of
us
.
Whatever
his
faults
may
be
,
he
is
as
straight
as
a
line
,
and
I
don
t
believe
he
ever
speaks
evil
of
his
comrades
behind
their
backs
.
"

"
Well
said
,
young
fellah
-
my
-
lad
,
"
said
Lord
John
Roxton
.
Then
,
with
a
kindly
smile
,
he
slapped
Professor
Summerlee
upon
his
shoulder
.
"
Come
,
Herr
Professor
,
we
re
not
going
to
quarrel
at
this
time
of
day
.
We
ve
seen
too
much
together
.
But
keep
off
the
grass
when
you
get
near
Challenger
,
for
this
young
fellah
and
I
have
a
bit
of
a
weakness
for
the
old
dear
.

But
Summerlee
was
in
no
humour
for
compromise
.
His
face
was
screwed
up
in
rigid
disapproval
,
and
thick
curls
of
angry
smoke
rolled
up
from
his
pipe
.
75
"
As
to
you
,
Lord
John
Roxton
,
"
he
creaked
,
"
your
opinion
upon
a
matter
of
science
is
of
as
much
value
in
my
eyes
as
my
views
upon
a
new
type
of
shot
-
gun
would
be
in
yours
.
I
have
my
own
judgment
,
sir
,
and
I
use
it
in
my
own
way
.
Because
it
has
misled
me
once
,
is
that
any
reason
why
I
should
accept
without
criticism
anything
,
however
far
-
fetched
,
which
this
man
may
care
to
put
forward
?
Are
we
to
have
a
Pope
of
science
,
with
infallible
decrees
laid
down
ex
cathedra
,
and
accepted
without
question
by
the
poor
humble
public
?
I
tell
you
,
sir
,
that
I
have
a
brain
of
my
own
and
that
I
should
feel
myself
to
be
a
snob
and
a
slave
if
I
did
not
use
it
.
76
If
it
pleases
you
to
believe
this
rigmarole
about
ether
and
Fraunhofer
s
lines
upon
the
spectrum
,
do
so
by
all
means
,
but
do
not
ask
one
who
is
older
and
wiser
than
yourself
to
share
in
your
folly
.
Is
it
not
evident
that
if
the
ether
were
affected
to
the
degree
which
he
maintains
,
and
if
it
were
obnoxious
to
human
health
,
the
result
of
it
would
already
be
apparent
upon
ourselves
?
"
Here
he
laughed
with
uproarious
triumph
over
his
own
argument
.
"
Yes
,
sir
,
we
should
already
be
very
far
from
our
normal
selves
,
and
instead
of
sitting
quietly
discussing
scientific
problems
in
a
railway
train
we
should
be
showing
actual
symptoms
of
the
poison
which
was
working
within
us
.
Where
do
we
see
any
signs
of
this
poisonous
cosmic
disturbance
?
Answer
me
that
,
sir
!
Answer
me
that
!
Come
,
come
,
no
evasion
!
I
pin
you
to
an
answer
!
"
77
I
felt
more
and
more
angry
.
There
was
something
very
irritating
and
aggressive
in
Summerlee
s
demeanour
.

"
I
think
that
if
you
knew
more
about
the
facts
you
might
be
less
positive
in
your
opinion
,
"
said
I
.
79
Summerlee
took
his
pipe
from
his
mouth
and
fixed
me
with
a
stony
stare
.
80
"
Pray
what
do
you
mean
,
sir
,
by
that
somewhat
impertinent
observation
?
"
