The opening of the novel sets a compelling stage with the professor passionately discussing his wild theory with Wyndham. As they delve deeper into the implications of the professor's radical discovery, their conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a desperate young girl found on the professor's doorstep, adding complexity to their dynamic. The narrative explores themes of desperation, the pursuit of scientific advancement, and moral dilemmas, particularly as the professor contemplates using the girl as a test subject for his experiment.
