As the translator reads this, things begin to fall together in Kit's mind.
He sits back, gripping the edge of the table until his knuckles are white. He then looks at the translator, thanks him, shows him to the door, closes the door, locks it, and searches out the other three, gathering them rather ceremoniously into the sitting-room.
"Gentlemen, it appears that the sins of forefathers have borne more evil than we could possibly imagine. Jonathan's grandfather, the late Lord William DeVille, appears to have been the primary financial patron of Dr. Soran's experiments. And, he says, gulping, "it appears he intended somehow to benefit from them
"I think--i hesitate to say, but I must--I think that Lord DeVille sought immortality through Dr. Soran's experiments. Those...things that Dr. Soran intended to grow were somehow meant to save him, make him immortal, though it's obvious that this failed."
He shudders. "Jonathan, do you know if your family has any holdings in Bermuda? Or who we could send a wire to so to find out? I have a terrible feeling that this evil folly was somehow continued there, and if we are to get to the bottom of it and stop it, we must go there."
He straightens up after coughing a bit of blood. "This whole business is an insult to human dignity. I think we owe it to humanity to see this business through, once Father is better."
