41. “ I have no desire to help you. You forget that I am simply indifferent to the whole
thing. It has nothing to do with me”.
“Alan, I entreat you. Think of the position I am in. Just before you came I almost
fainted with terror. You may know terror yourself some day. No! Don’t think of that.
Look at the matter purely from the scientific point of view. You don’t inquire where the
dead things on which you experiment come from. Don’t inquire now. I have told you
too much as it is. But I beg of you to do this. We were friends once, Alan.”
Dorian, 166

1. “There is no winter sport at Montreux”.
“ I beg your pardon,” the other official said.
“ I come from Montreux. There is very certainly winter sport on the Montreux Oberland
Bernois railway. I would be false for you to deny that”.
“ I don’t deny it . I simply said there is no winter sport at Montreux.”
“ I question that,” the other official said. “ I question that statement”.
“ I hold to that statement.
“ I question that statement. I myself have luge-ed into the streets of Montreux. I have
done it not once but several times. Luge-ing is certainly winter sport.”
Farewell, 246

2. “ I tell you you would be very comfortable here in Locarno. Farewell, 247

3. “ Luge- ing”, said the first official, “is tobogganing ”.
“ I beg to differ”, the other official shook his head. I must differ again. The toboggan is
very different from the luge”.
Farewell, 247
4. “Gentelmen”, I said, “I am afraid we must go. My cousin is very tired. We will go
tentatively to Montreux.”

“Thank you both very much”, I said. We appreciate your advise very much.
Farewell, 247- 248
