Jimbo's governess ought to have known better -- but she didn't. If she had, Jimbo would never have met with the adventures that subsequently came to him. Thus, in a roundabout sort of way, the child ought to have been thankful to the governess; and perhaps, in a roundabout sort of way, he was. But that comes at the far end of the story, and is doubtful at best; and in the meanwhile the child had gone through his suffering, and the governess had in some measure expiated her fault; so that at this stage it is only necessary to note that the whole business began because the Empty House happened to be really an Empty House -- not the one Jimbo's family lived in, but another of which more will be known in due course. . . .

Product Description: Since childhood days he had been haunted by a Wave. It appeared with the very dawn of thought, and was his earliest recollection of any vividness.

Excerpt: ...dinner, had been speaking to him about the practical results obtainable by sound-vibrations (what he already knew for that matter), and how it is possible by fiddling long enough upon a certain note to fiddle down a bridge and split it asunder. From that he passed on to the scientific fact that the ultimate molecules of matter are not only in constant whirring motion, but that also they do not actually touch one another. The atoms composing the point of a pin, for instance, shift and change without ceasing, and-there is space between them. Then, suddenly taking Spinrobin's arm, he came closer, his booming tone dropping to a whisper: "To change the form of anything," he said in his ear, "is merely to change the arrangement of those dancing molecules, to alter their rate of vibration." His eyes, even in the obscurity of the dusk, went across the other's face like flames. "By means of sound?" asked the other, already beginning to feel eerie. The clergyman nodded his great head in acquiescence. "Just as the vibrations of heat-waves," he said after a pause, "can alter the form of a metal by melting it, so the vibrations of sound can alter the form of a thing by inserting themselves between those whirling molecules and changing their speed and arrangement-change the outline, that is." The idea seemed fairly to buffet the little secretary in the face, but Mr. Skale's proximity was too overpowering to permit of very clear thinking. Feeling that a remark was expected from him, he managed to ejaculate an obvious objection in his mind. "But is there any sound that can produce vibrations fine and rapid enough-to-er-accomplish such a result?" Mr. Skale appeared almost to leap for pleasure as he heard it. In reality he merely straightened himself up. "That," he cried aloud, to the further astonishment and even alarm of his companion, "is another part of my discovery-an essential particular of it: the production of sound-vibrations fine and rapid enough...
