"Gosh," said the Very Young Man, drawing a long breath.
The Banker flung himself into a chair as though exhausted from a great physical effort.
"Well, it certainly does work," said the Big Business Man, "there's no question about that."
The Very Young Man was shaking the cardboard box in his hands and lifting its cover cautiously to see inside. "Let's try a lizard," he suggested.
"Oh, what's the use," the Banker protested wearily, "we know it works."
"Well, it can't hurt anything to try it, can it?" the Very Young Man urged. "Besides, the more we try it, the more sure we are it will work with us when the time comes. You don't want to try it on yourself, now, do you?" he added with a grin.
"No, thank you," retorted the Banker with emphasis.
"I think we might as well try it again," said the Big Business Man.
The Very Young Man took one of the tiny lizards from the box, and in a moment they had dropped some water containing the drug down its throat. "Try to put him on the scratch, too," said the Very Young Man.
When the lizard was small enough the Doctor held it with the callipers and then laid it on the ring.
