Algernon
refuses
to
run
the
maze
any
more
;
general
motivation
has
decreased
.
I
stopped
off
again
today
to
see
him
,
and
this
time
Strauss
was
there
too
.
Both
he
and
Nemur
looked
disturbed
as
they
watched
Burt
force
-
feed
him
.
Strange
to
see
the
little
puff
of
white
clamped
down
on
the
worktable
and
Burt
forcing
the
food
down
his
throat
with
an
eye
-
dropper
.
If
it
keeps
up
this
way
,
they
ll
have
to
start
feeding
him
by
injection
.
Watching
Algernon
squirm
under
those
tiny
bands
this
afternoon
,
I
felt
them
around
my
own
arms
and
legs
.
I
started
to
gag
and
choke
,
and
I
had
to
get
out
of
the
lab
for
fresh
air
.
I
ve
got
to
stop
identifying
with
him
.
I
went
down
to
Murray
s
Bar
and
had
a
few
drinks
.
And
then
I
called
Fay
and
we
made
the
rounds
.
Fay
is
an
­
noyed
that
I
ve
stopped
taking
her
out
dancing
,
and
she
got
angry
and
walked
out
on
me
last
night
.
She
has
no
idea
of
my
work
and
no
interest
in
it
,
and
when
I
do
try
to
talk
to
her
about
it
she
makes
no
attempt
to
hide
her
boredom
.
She
just
can
t
be
bothered
,
and
I
can
t
blame
her
.
She
s
in
­
terested
in
only
three
things
that
I
can
see
:
dancing
,
paint
­
ing
,
and
sex
.
And
the
only
thing
we
really
have
in
common
is
sex
.
It
s
foolish
of
me
to
try
to
interest
her
in
my
work
.
So
she
goes
dancing
without
me
.
She
told
me
that
the
other
night
she
dreamed
she
had
come
into
the
apartment
and
set
fire
to
all
my
books
and
notes
,
and
that
we
went
off
dancing
around
the
flames
.
I
ve
got
to
watch
out
.
She
s
be
­
coming
possessive
.
I
just
realized
tonight
that
my
own
place
is
starting
to
resemble
her
apartment
a
mess
.
I
ve
got
to
cut
down
on
the
drinking
.

July
16
Alice
met
Fay
last
night
.
I
d
been
concerned
about
what
would
happen
if
they
came
face
to
face
.
Alice
came
to
see
me
after
she
found
out
about
Algernon
from
Burt
.
She
knows
what
it
may
mean
,
and
she
still
feels
responsible
for
having
encouraged
me
in
the
first
place
.
We
had
coffee
and
we
talked
late
.
I
knew
that
Fay
had
gone
out
dancing
at
the
Stardust
Ballroom
,
so
I
didn
t
expect
her
home
so
early
.
But
at
about
one
forty
-
five
in
the
morning
we
were
startled
by
Fay
s
sudden
appearance
on
the
fire
-
escape
.
She
tapped
,
pushed
open
the
half
-
open
window
and
came
waltzing
into
the
room
with
a
bottle
in
her
hand
.
"
Crashing
the
party
,
"
she
said
.
"
Brought
my
own
refreshments
.

I
had
told
her
about
Alice
working
on
the
project
at
the
university
,
and
I
had
mentioned
Fay
to
Alice
earlier
so
they
weren
t
surprised
to
meet
.
But
after
a
few
seconds
of
sizing
each
other
up
,
they
started
talking
about
art
and
me
,
and
for
all
they
cared
I
could
have
been
anywhere
else
in
the
world
.
They
liked
each
other
.
"
I
ll
get
the
coffee
,
"
I
said
,
and
wandered
out
to
the
kitchen
to
leave
them
alone
.
When
I
came
back
,
Fay
had
taken
off
her
shoes
and
was
sitting
on
the
floor
,
sipping
gin
out
of
the
bottle
.
She
was
explaining
to
Alice
that
as
far
as
she
was
concerned
there
was
nothing
more
valuable
to
the
human
body
than
sunbathing
,
and
that
nudist
colonies
were
the
answer
to
the
world
s
moral
problems
.
