“That'll cost more.”

“I don't care what it costs.”

Snuffy leaned forward curiously. “Dr. Light, mind telling me how much might be involved in this?”

Light grinned at him. “Snuffy, your imagination wouldn't hold it,” he said.

“That sounds silly.”

“It is silly. The whole thing is what you—a man like you, Snuffy—would call silly.

But this is more fabulous than Columbus discovering America, if you get what I mean.”

“I don't get it,” Snuffy said.

Dr. Light shrugged. He produced a prescription pad from his pocket, wrote out a prescription, and
handed it to Snuffy. “Pick this up at Greenwitz's drugstore,” he said.

SNUFFY GONNER came back with the filled prescription in about an hour, and Dr. Light administered
it to Dr. Wilson.

They then used Snuffy's car, which was old but powerful, to haul Dr. Wilson to a small office-hospital
which Dr. Light maintained, in connection with the rather flamboyant suite of offices which he had in the
downtown section.

The nurse in charge, a man, looked surprised. This wasn't the class of cases which Dr. Light was in the

Dr. Light filled a hypo needle with a solution.

“Stick him with this,” he told the nurse, “every half-hour. “

The nurse blinked. “Say, that'll make him as goofy as an owl,” he said.

“That's the way I want him, as goofy as an owl,” said Dr. Light.

The nurse looked uneasy. “My forty dollars a week don't pay for too much,” he said.

Light swore. “Money, money!” he said.

“There's an extra week's pay in it for you if you insist.”

“How about a jail?”

“I'll go to bat for you. But there'll be no jail for any of us.”

“O. K.”
