A scene

The old sorcerer Hermon has endured his rival's lecture at the Institute of Knowledge for forty minutes, and he has finally had enough. He folds his hands, says a few quiet words, and looks at the speaker. The rival pauses in mid-sentence, sways, grips the lectern and goes rather green. The hall begins to titter. He tries bravely to continue standing, staggers, and sits down very suddenly on the floor of the stage. Hermon rises, straightens his robe and offers to finish the lecture himself.
