As I have implied, I let my flashlight return to the vacant easy-chair after its circuit of the room; then noticing for the first time the presence of certain objects in the seat, made inconspicuous by the adjacent loose folds of the empty dressing-gown. These are the objects, three in number, which the investigators did not find when they came later on. As I said at the outset, there was nothing of actual visual horror about them. The trouble was in what they led one to infer. Even now I have my moments of half-doubtโmoments in which I half-accept the scepticism of those who attribute my whole experience to dream and nerves and delusion.
The three things were damnably clever constructions of their kind, and were furnished with ingenious metallic clamps to attach them to organic developments of which I dare not form any conjecture. I hopeโdevoutly hope-that they were the waxen products of a master artist, despite what my inmost fears tell me. Great God! That whisperer in darkness with its morbid odour and vibrations! Sorcerer, emissary, changeling, outsiderโฆ that hideous repressed buzzingโฆ and all the time in that fresh, shiny cylinder on the shelfโฆ poor devilโฆ โProdigious surgical, biological, chemical, and mechanical skillโฆ
For the things in the chair, perfect to the last, subtle detail of microscopic resemblanceโor identityโwere the face and hands of Henry Wentworth Akeley.
