After some fluctuation I decided to find the presence and to give it the help.
– You very much расшиблись? Whether not to help you? – I asked, leaving a bush.
Apparently, my emergence did not surprise professor. At least, he showed nothing him.
– No, I thank you – he quietly answered – I will reach. – And he made new attempt to rise. His face was distorted from pain. He even leaned back back. The leg in a knee quickly swelled. It was obvious that not to do it without assistance.
And I began to act resolutely.
– Idemte, until pain weakened you even more – I told and lifted him. It obeyed. At each movement the sore leg inflicted on it suffering. We slowly climbed a steep slope. I almost carried Wagner on myself and itself was exhausted under weight of his quite heavy body. But at the same time I was extremely happy that I thus had an opportunity not only to uvidat, but also to get acquainted with professor Wagner, to visit his dwelling. However, maybe, having reached a gate, he will thank me and will not let in to himself? This thought disturbed me when we approached a high fence of its giving. But he told nothing, and we crossed treasured line – hardly he could say yes something. To it it was absolutely bad. From pain and concussion he almost fainted. I fell for fatigue too. And still, before entering it into the house, I managed to dart through a shoulder an inquisitive glance at the yard.
The yard was quite extensive. In the middle there was some device similar to the device Moraine. In the depth of the yard, in the earth, some big, laid by thick glass round opening was seen. Around this opening, the metal arches which were from each other at half a meter distance acted from it to the house and in several directions from the earth.
Any more I managed to consider nothing. Towards to us the house left the scared elderly woman in black – his housekeeper as I learned then.
We put professor Wagner to bed.
To Wagner it was absolutely thin. He panted, having closed eyes, raved.
«Really this ingenious car – a brain of professor Wagner can be lost from concussion?» – I thought with concern.
The patient raved mathematical formulas and from time to time groaned. The become puzzled housekeeper stood helplessly and only repeated:
– What will be now? Fathers, what will be now?.
I had to give to professor first aid and to look after the patient.
Only for the second day by the morning Wagner recovered. He opened eyes and looked at me quite consciously.
– I thank you … – he poorly spoke.
I allowed it to drink, and it, having nodded me, asked to leave it. Tired with troubles of yesterday and at sleepless night, I, at last, decided to leave the patient of one and came to the yard to breathe fresh, morning air. The unknown device standing in the middle of the yard drew my attention again. I approached it and gave a hand.
– Do not go! Stop! – I heard for the muffled, scared voice of the housekeeper. And at the very same time I felt that my hand suddenly became extraordinary heavy as though to it hung up the huge weight which jerked me with such force down that I fell to the ground. The invisible weight pressed down a brush of my hand.
With big effort I took away a hand back. She was ill and was red.
Near me there was a housekeeper and grievously swung the head.
