"Then
stand
by,
invisible.
I'm
going
to
get
one
of
my
jailors
in
here
and
relieve
him
of
his
wrist-watch."
Marjorie
touched
that
little
square
button
on
her
own.
She
instantly
became
invisible.
Kendrick
touched
a
button
too,
a
button
he
had
noticed
beside
the
door.
As
he
had
supposed,
it
brought
one
of
the
Vadans.
Shutting
the
door
quietly,
he
seized
the
fellow
before
he
could
move
his
hand
to
his
wrist.
Thwarted
in
his
attempt
to
vanish
from
sight,
the
diminutive
guard
attempted
an
outcry.
But
Kendrick
promptly
throttled
him.
Marjorie
had
reappeared
by
now
and
together
they
bound
him
to
a
chair
with
a
gilded
cord
torn
from
the
drapery.
Removing
the
precious
mechanism
from
his
wrist,
Kendrick
slipped
it
on
his
own.
"Now
let's
go!"
he
said,
pressing
the
protruding
square
button
of
the
device.
"We
haven't
a
minute
to--my
golly,
what
a
peculiar
sensation!"
"It
is
rather
odd,
isn't
it?"
she
laughed,
pressing
her
own
and
joining
him
in
that
invisible
realm.
"Feels
like
a
combination
electric
massage
and
cold
shower!
Where
are
you,
anyway?
I
can't
see
you."
"Of
course
you
can't!"
came
an
unseen
tinkle.
"Here!"
He
felt
her
brush
him.
"Better
hold
hands,"
he
suggested,
then
gave
an
invisible
flush
he
was
glad
she
couldn't
see.
"All
right.
A
good
idea."
Her
delicate
hand
came
into
his,
soft,
warm.
Heart
vibrating
even
faster
than
his
body,
his
whole
being
a-quiver
with
a
strange
exaltation,
Kendrick
opened
the
door,
and
they
left
the
apartment.
