"Mother!"
"My
poor
darling!"
They
rushed
into
each
other's
arms,
clung,
sobbing
and
laughing.
Kendrick
was
glad
when
these
intimate
greetings
were
over
and
he
had
met
Mrs.
Blake.
They
were
in
the
drawing-room
now,
listening
to
a
somewhat
more
lucid
account
of
their
daughter's
experiences
and
those
of
her
rescuer.
Marjorie
was
doing
most
of
the
talking,
but
every
now
and
again
she
would
turn
to
Kendrick
for
verification.
"Heavens!"
gasped
Mrs.
Blake,
finally.
"Can
such
things
be
possible?"
"Almost
anything
seems
possible
nowadays,
my
dear,"
her
husband
told
her.
"And
you
say,
Professor,
that
you
have
brought
back
samples
of
this
invisibility
device?"
"Yes,
we
have,
but
I
can't
promise
they'll
work.
I'll
try,
however."
Whereupon,
sceptically,
he
pressed
that
little
square
button--and
instantly
faded
out
of
sight.
"Good
Lord!"
cried
Blake,
leaping
to
his
feet.
"That
proves
it!
Why,
this
is
positively--"
His
remarks
were
cut
short
by
a
scream
of
terror
from
his
wife.
"Marjorie--Marjorie!"
she
shrieked.
Wheeling,
he
faced
the
chair
where
his
daughter
had
sat.
It
was
empty,
so
far
as
human
eyes
could
see.
"Don't
worry
Mother--Daddy!"
came
a
calm
voice
from
it.
"I'm
quite
all
right--coming
back--steady."
And
back
she
came,
as
did
Kendrick,
from
the
empty
chair
beside
her.
His
face
was
grave.
The
success
of
the
demonstration,
which
had
proved
their
story
to
practical-minded
Henderson
Blake,
had
proved
to
him
something
altogether
more
significant.
The
disc,
as
he
had
surmised,
had
rushed
eastward
immediately
on
learning
of
their
escape,
and
was
now
probably
hovering
right
over
New
York.
