If I am wrong, I yield,
and will no longer demand a Fourth Dimension; but,
if I am right, my Lord will listen to reason.
I ask therefore, is it, or is it not, the fact, that ere now your
countrymen also have witnessed the descent of Beings of a higher order
than their own, entering closed rooms, even as your Lordship entered mine,
without the opening of doors or windows, and appearing and vanishing at will?
On the reply to this question I am ready to stake everything. Deny it,
and I am henceforth silent. Only vouchsafe an answer.
Sphere (AFTER A PAUSE). It is reported so. But men are divided
in opinion as to the facts. And even granting the facts, they explain
them in different ways. And in any case, however great may be the
number of different explanations, no one has adopted or suggested
the theory of a Fourth Dimension. Therefore, pray have done with
this trifling, and let us return to business.
I. I was certain of it. I was certain that my anticipations
would be fulfilled. And now have patience with me and answer me
yet one more question, best of Teachers! Those who have thus appeared--
no one knows whence--and have returned--no one knows whither--
have they also contracted their sections and vanished somehow into
that more Spacious Space, whither I now entreat you to conduct me?
