THE RUN-AWAY EXHIBIT
At last in Brike’s life great day came. The last bandage were removed from it, and professor Kern allowed it to get up.
She rose and, leaning on a hand Laurent, walked about the room. Its movements were not sure and a little gusty. Sometimes it did strange gestures by a hand: to the known limit her hand moved smoothly, then the delay and as if the forced movement passing again into smooth followed.
– All this will pass – with conviction told the Core. A little the small wound on Brike’s foot disturbed only him. The wound began to live slowly. But over time and it began to live so that Brike did not feel pain, even stepping on a sore leg. And in several days Brike already tried to dance.
– I will not understand in what business – she said – some movements are given me freely, and others are complicated. Possibly, I did not get used to operate the new body yet… And it is magnificent! Look at legs, mademoiselle Loran. And growth excellent. Here only these hems on a neck… It is necessary to close them. But this shoulder birthmark is charming, isn’t that so? I will sew a dress of such style that she was visible… No, I am resolutely happy with the body.
«The body! – Laurent thought. – Poor Anjelica Guy!»
Everything that so long constrained in itself Brike, at once broke outside. It threw Laurent requirements, orders, requests for suits, linen, shoes, hats, fashionable magazines, cosmetics accessories.
In a new gray silk dress it was presented by the Core to the head of professor Douel. And as it was the male head, Brike could not but coquet. Also it was very flattered when Douel’s head croaked:
– Perfectly! You perfectly coped with the task, the colleague, I congratulate you!
And the Core under a hand with Brike, shining as newly married, left the room.
– You sit down, mademoiselle – the Core when they came to its office gallantly told.
– I do not know how to me to thank you, mister professor – she told, languidly looking down and then having coquettishly looked on the Core. – You made for me very much… And I can reward nothing you.
– It is also not necessary. I am rewarded more, than you think.
– I am very glad. – And Brike took the Core even more radiant view. – And now allow me to leave… to be discharged from hospital.
– How to leave? From what hospital? – at once did not even understand the Core.
– To leave home. I represent what furor will be created by my emergence among girlfriends!
It is going to leave! The core did not allow a thought of it. He did huge work, resolved the most difficult task, made impossible at all not in order that Brike created a furor among the thoughtless girlfriends. He wanted to create a furor Brike’s demonstration before scientific society. Subsequently he, maybe, will also give it some freedom, but now there is nothing and to think of it.
– Unfortunately, I cannot release you, mademoiselle Brike. You have to remain still some time in my house, under my observation.
– But what for? I feel perfectly – she objected, playing a hand.
– Yes, but to you can become worse.
– Then I will come to you.
– Allow me to know better when you can leave from here – already sharply told the Core. – Do not forget, than you would be without me.
– I already thanked you for it. But I am not a girl and not the slave and I can dispose of myself!
«Oho and it with character!» – with surprise the Core thought.
– Well, we still will talk about it – he told. – For now all right to go to the room. John probably already brought you broth.
