But no! There could be no doubt about it. There in material form on the corner of his table was a point blank, tangible contradiction of the universally accepted axiom that two bodies cannot occupy the same space, and that, come from somewhere or nowhere, there were two plainly material objects through which his daughter's hand, without her even knowing it, had passed as easily as it would have done through a little cloud of steam. BUT NO THERE COULD BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THERE IN MATERIAL FORM ON THE CORNER OF HIS TABLE WAS A POINT BLANK TANGIBLE CONTRADICTION OF THE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED AXIOM THAT TWO BODIES CANNOT OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE AND THAT COME FROM SOMEWHERE OR NOWHERE THERE WERE TWO PLAINLY MATERIAL OBJECTS THROUGH WHICH HIS DAUGHTER'S HAND WITHOUT EVEN HER KNOWING IT HAD PASSED AS EASILY AS IT WOULD HAVE DONE THROUGH A LITTLE CLOUD OF STEAM
his fear had warned him, it was empty. Then he looked at his daughter, and as their eyes met, she said in the most commonplace tones: "My dear Dad, what _is_ the matter with you? If advanced people like ourselves believed in any such nonsense, I should be inclined to say that you had seen a ghost; but I suppose it's only that silly fourth dimension puzzle that's worrying you. Now, look here, you must really take your whisky and go to bed. If you go on bothering any longer about 'N to the fourth,' you will have one of your bad headaches to-morrow and won't be able to finish your address for the Institute." She put her hand out and took up the decanter. It passed without any apparent resistance through the jar. She lifted it from the same place, and poured out the usual modicum of whisky into the glass, which was standing just where the flagon was. Then she pressed the trigger of the syphon, and the familiar hiss of the soda-water brought the Professor, as he thought, back to his senses. KED TOWARD THE MUMMY CASE AND AS HIS FEAR HAD WARNED HIM IT WAS EMPTIED THEN HE LOOKED AT HIS DAUGHTER AND AS HIS EYES MET SHE SAID IN THE MOST COMMONPLACE TONES MY DEAR DAD WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU IF ANY PEOPLE LIKE OURSELVES BELIEVED IN ANY SUCH NONSENSE I SHOULD BE INCLINED TO SAY THAT YOU HAD SEEN A GHOST BUT I SUPPOSE IT WAS ONLY THAT SILLY FOURTH DIMENSION PUZZLE THAT'S WORRYING YOU NOW LOOK HERE YOU MUST REALLY TAKE YOUR WHISKY AND GO TO BED IF YOU GO ON BOTHERING ANY LONGER ABOUT END TO THE FOURTH YOU'LL HAVE ONE OF YOUR BAD HEADACHES TO MORROW AND WON'T BE ABLE TO FINISH YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE INSTITUTE SHE PUT HER HAND OUT AND TOOK UP THE DECANTER IT PASSED WITHOUT ANY APPARENT RESISTANCE THROUGH THE JAR SHE LIFTED IT FROM THE SAME PLACE AND POURED OUT THE USUAL MODICUM OF WHISKY INTO THE GLASS WHICH WAS STANDING JUST WHERE THE FLAGON WAS THEN SHE PRESSED THE TRIGGER OF THE SYPHON AND THE FAMILIAR HISS OF THE SODA WATER BROUGHT THE PROFESSOR AS HE THOUGHT BACK TO HIS SENSES
