Frankenstein led the way dor'l'n a long, dark passage to a bookfilled room. A bed stood on one side, Iooking as if nothing had
been done to it for days; and on a table near the window were
the remains of several meals. There was dust everywhere, and
the last ol the evening sun shone with difficulty through the
dirty windows. There was a rather unpleasant smell.
After I had given him news about his family and toid him the
reasons for my coming to Ingolstadt, Frankenstein got up and
walked about the room excitedly. He didn't seem to be thinking
at all about what I had just told him.
'Henri,' he said at last. 'You have come just at the very
moment when I need your help. The great work which I have
been doing for the last year is coming to an end, and I shall soon
know whether I have been wasting my time or whether I have
pushed scientific discovery to new heights.' His eyes burned
with a strange light. They were iike the eyes of a madman.
'My preparations are nearly complete. All I need now are the
right conditions for the great experiment to take place. Come,'
he said, and ied the way to a door in a corner of his living-room.
'You
will see what no other man has seen.'
He threw open the door, and at once the strange smell which
I had noticed before became stronger. It was like the smell of
bad meat. I could hardly bear it, but my friend seemed not to
n o t i c ei t . a n d l e d t h e w a y i n .
The room was dark, and at first I could only see a mass of
wires, glass bottles and jars, and copper and glass pipes. Here
and there the blue light of the burners made holes in the
darkness. And from those places the sound of boiling liquids
could be heard.
As my eyes began to see better in the half-darkness I saw that
this stuff was arranged round a kind of bath in the middle of the
room with a wooden work-table that went all the way round it.
Frankenstein was watching me. There was still this strange
'Go on,' he said, 'look inside. See what I
excitement in his eyes.
have made.'
I bent over the table and looked into the bath. It was filled
with a clear liquid. I tried to see deeper into the liquid, but at
first all I could see was what looked like hair * fine hair. I bent
iowel, and as Frankenstein moved a lamp nearer I drew in my
breath sharply. It was hair - spread out in a golden ring around
a face, a head. More. Yes, there was a body in the bath - the
