Yes, because that was<br /> -all she was ... or would become some day!</i></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>My brother, Perry, always was a bit cracked. As a kid, he almost blew -up our house doing experiments. When he was eighteen, he wrote poetry, -but fortunately that didn't last long and he went back to science.</p> - -<p>Now, when he showed me this picture, I figured he'd had a relapse of -some kind. "This is the girl I'm in love with," he said.</p> - -<p>She wasn't bad. Not bad at all, even if her clothes were crazy. She -wasn't my type—too brainy-looking—although I could see how some guys -would go for her. "I thought you liked blondes."</p> - -<p>"I wouldn't give you two cents for all the blondes in Hollywood," he -answered. "This is the only girl for me."</p> - -<p>"You sound as if you've got it bad," I said. "You going to marry her?"</p> - -<p>His face dropped about a mile. "I can't."</p> - -<p>"You mean she's married already?" I was surprised. This wasn't like -Perry at all.</p> - -<p>He sort of hesitated, as if he was afraid of saying too much. "No, -she isn't married. I asked her about that. But I can't marry her -because—well, I've never met her. All I've seen of her is this -picture and a few more. She doesn't live here."</p> - -<p>"You mean she's in Europe?" I've heard of these love affairs by mail, -and they never made much sense to me. I said to Perry, "Why can't she -come to this country?"</p> - -<p>"Oh, there are a lot of things in the way."</p> - -<p>It sounded worse and worse. I said, "Look, Perry, this smells like a -racket to me. It's the kind of thing a couple of shrewd operators cook -up to take some hick for a ride. I'm surprised at you falling for it. -How do you know there really is a dame like that in Europe? Anybody can -send pictures——"</p> - -<p>"You've got it all wrong," he said. "I've spoken to her."</p> - -<p>"By phone? How do you know who's on the other end? You hear a dame's -voice you never heard before. What makes you think it's hers?"</p> - -<p>Again he didn't seem to want to talk, as if he had some secret to hide. -But I guess he felt like getting things off his chest, too, or he -wouldn't have opened up in the first place. And he had already told me -enough so that if he didn't tell me more he'd sound like a dope.</p> - -<p>So after hesitating even longer than before, he said, "Let's get this -straight, George. This is no racket. I've seen and talked to her at -the same time. And the things she talked about, no con man would know."</p> - -<p>"You've seen and talked to her at the same time? You mean by TV? I -don't believe it. They can't send TV to Europe."</p> - -<p>"I didn't say it was TV. And I didn't say she lived in Europe."</p> - -<p>"That's exactly what you did say. Or maybe you meant she lived on Mars?"</p> - -<p>"No. She's an American."</p> - -<p>"This makes less and less sense to me. Where did you meet her?"</p> - -<p>He turned red, and squirmed all over the place. Finally he said, "Right -here in my own laboratory."</p> - -<p>"In your own laboratory! But you said you never met her in the flesh!"</p> - -<p>"I didn't. Not really by TV either. The fact is—she isn't born yet."</p> - -<p>I backed away from him. When he was a kid and blew up our kitchen, I -didn't like it. When he wrote poetry, I was kind of ashamed and didn't -want my pals to know he was my brother. Now, I was really scared. -Everything he had been saying in the last ten minutes began to make -sense, but a screwy kind of sense.</p> - -<p>He saw how I felt. "Don't worry, George, I haven't gone crazy. Her time -is 2973, more than a thousand years from now. The only way I've seen -and talked to her is on a time-contact machine."</p> - -<p>"Come again?"</p> - -<p>"A kind of time machine. It can't send material objects back and -forth across time, as far as I know, but it can send certain waves, -especially the kind we use to transmit signals. That's how she and I -could talk to each other and see each other."</p> - -<p>"Perry, I think you ought to see a good doctor."</p> - -<p>"It's a remarkable device," he said, paying no attention to how I -was trying to help him. "She's the one who first constructed it and -contacted me. It's based on an extension of Einstein's equations——"</p> - -<p>"You think you can explain so much," I said. "Okay, then, explain this. -This dame isn't going to be born for a thousand years. And yet you -tell me you're in love with her. What's the difference between you and -somebody that's nuts?" I asked, as if anybody knew the answer.</p> - -<p>He certainly didn't. In fact, he went ahead and proved to me that they -were the same thing. Because for the next couple of weeks, the only -thing he'd talk about, outside of equations I couldn't understand, -was this dame. How smart she was, and how beautiful she was, and how -wonderful she was in every way that a dame can be wonderful, and how -she loved him. For a time he had me convinced that she actually existed.</p> - -<p>"Compared with you," I said, "Romeo had a mild case."</p> - -<p>"There are some quantities so great that you can't measure them," he -said. "That will give you some idea of our love for each other."</p> - -<p>There it went, the old poetry, cropping out in him just like before. -And all the time I'd been thinking it was like measles, something that -you get once and it builds up your resistance so you don't get it -again, at least not bad. It just goes to show how wrong I could be.</p> - -<p>"What preacher are you going to get to marry you?" I asked. "A guy born -five hundred years from now?"</p> - -<p>"I don't think that's funny," he said.</p> - -<p>"You're telling me. Look, Perry, you're smart enough to know what I'm -thinking——"</p> - -<p>"You still think I'm crazy."</p> - -<p>"I got an open mind on the subject. Now, if you won't see a -doctor—then how about letting me take a look at this dame, so I can -convince myself?"</p> - -<p>"No," he said. "I've considered doing that, and decided against it. -Her voice and image come through for only about five minutes a day, -sometimes less. And those minutes are very precious to us. We don't -want any one else present, any one at all."</p> - -<p>"Not even to convince me she actually exists?"</p> - -<p>"You wouldn't be convinced anyway," he said very shrewdly. "No matter -what I showed you, you'd still find a reason to call it a fraud."</p> - -<p>He was right at that. It would take a lot of convincing to make me -believe that a babe who wasn't going to get born for a thousand years -was in love with him.</p> - -<p>By this time, though, I was sure of one thing—there was something -screwy going on in that laboratory of his. For five minutes a day he -was watching some dame's picture, listening to her voice. If I had an -idea what she was like, I might figure out where to go from there.</p> - -<p>I began keeping an eye on Perry, dropping in at the laboratory to pay -him visits. There was what looked like a ten-inch TV tube in one corner -of his place, not housed in a cabinet, but lying on the table among -dozens of other tubes and rheostats and meters and other things I -didn't know about. Along the wall that led from this corner was a lot -of stuff which Perry said was high voltage, and warned me not to touch.</p> - -<p>I kept away. I wasn't trying to figure out how to get myself killed. -All I wanted to know was when he saw this girl.</p> - -<p>Finally I managed to pin the time down to between three and four in the -afternoon. For five minutes every day, during that hour, he locked the -door and didn't answer phone calls. I figured that if I dropped in then -I might get a glimpse of her.</p> - -<p>And that's what I did.</p> - -<p>At first, when I knocked on the door, there was no answer. In a minute, -though, I heard Perry's voice, but he wasn't talking to me. He was -saying, "Darling," and he sounded kind of sick, which I figured was -due to love. Come to think of it, he might have been scared a little. -I heard him say, "Don't be afraid," and it was quiet for about fifteen -seconds.</p> - -<p>Then I heard a terrific crash, like lightning striking. The door shook, -and I smelled something sharp, and the first thing I wanted to do was -get out of that place. But I couldn't leave my brother in there.</p> - -<p>I put my shoulder to the door and had no trouble at all. The explosion, -or whatever it was, must have weakened the hinges. As the door crashed -in, I looked for Perry.</p> - -<p>There was no sign of him. But I could see his shoes, on the floor in -front of that TV tube, where he must have been standing. No feet in -them, though, just his socks. All the high-voltage stuff was smoking. -The TV screen was all lit up, and on it I could see a girl's face, the -same girl whose picture Perry had shown me. She was wearing one of -those funny costumes, and she looked scared. It was a clear picture, -and I could even see the way she gulped.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter"> - <img src="images/illus.jpg" width="360" height="500" alt=""/> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>Then she broke out into a happy smile and, for about half a second, -before the second explosion, I could see Perry on the screen. After -that second explosion—even though it wasn't near as big as the -first—that TV set was nothing but a mess of twisted junk, and there -was no screen left to see anything on.</p> - -<p>Perry liked to have everything just so, and he'd never think of going -anyplace without his tie being knotted just right, and his socks -matching, and so on. And here he'd traveled a thousand years into the -future in bare feet. I felt kind of embarrassed for him.</p> - -<p>Anyway, they were engaged, and now they must be married, so I guess she -had slippers waiting for him. I'm just sorry I missed the wedding.</p> - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Picture Bride, by William Morrison - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PICTURE BRIDE *** - -***** This file should be named 51009-h.htm or 51009-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/0/0/51009/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

Yes, because that was - all she was ... or would become some day! - - -My brother, Perry, always was a bit cracked. As a kid, he almost blew -up our house doing experiments. When he was eighteen, he wrote poetry, -but fortunately that didn't last long and he went back to science. - -Now, when he showed me this picture, I figured he'd had a relapse of -some kind. "This is the girl I'm in love with," he said. - -She wasn't bad. Not bad at all, even if her clothes were crazy. She -wasn't my type--too brainy-looking--although I could see how some guys -would go for her. "I thought you liked blondes." - -"I wouldn't give you two cents for all the blondes in Hollywood," he -answered. "This is the only girl for me." - -"You sound as if you've got it bad," I said. "You going to marry her?" - -His face dropped about a mile. "I can't." - -"You mean she's married already?" I was surprised. This wasn't like -Perry at all. - -He sort of hesitated, as if he was afraid of saying too much. "No, -she isn't married. I asked her about that. But I can't marry her -because--well, I've never met her. All I've seen of her is this -picture and a few more. She doesn't live here." - -"You mean she's in Europe?" I've heard of these love affairs by mail, -and they never made much sense to me. I said to Perry, "Why can't she -come to this country?" - -"Oh, there are a lot of things in the way." - -It sounded worse and worse. I said, "Look, Perry, this smells like a -racket to me. It's the kind of thing a couple of shrewd operators cook -up to take some hick for a ride. I'm surprised at you falling for it. -How do you know there really is a dame like that in Europe? Anybody can -send pictures----" - -"You've got it all wrong," he said. "I've spoken to her." - -"By phone? How do you know who's on the other end? You hear a dame's -voice you never heard before. What makes you think it's hers?" - -Again he didn't seem to want to talk, as if he had some secret to hide. -But I guess he felt like getting things off his chest, too, or he -wouldn't have opened up in the first place. And he had already told me -enough so that if he didn't tell me more he'd sound like a dope. - -So after hesitating even longer than before, he said, "Let's get this -straight, George. This is no racket. I've seen and talked to her at -the same time. And the things she talked about, no con man would know." - -"You've seen and talked to her at the same time? You mean by TV? I -don't believe it. They can't send TV to Europe." - -"I didn't say it was TV. And I didn't say she lived in Europe." - -"That's exactly what you did say. Or maybe you meant she lived on Mars?" - -"No. She's an American." - -"This makes less and less sense to me. Where did you meet her?" - -He turned red, and squirmed all over the place. Finally he said, "Right -here in my own laboratory." - -"In your own laboratory! But you said you never met her in the flesh!" - -"I didn't. Not really by TV either. The fact is--she isn't born yet." - -I backed away from him. When he was a kid and blew up our kitchen, I -didn't like it. When he wrote poetry, I was kind of ashamed and didn't -want my pals to know he was my brother. Now, I was really scared. -Everything he had been saying in the last ten minutes began to make -sense, but a screwy kind of sense. - -He saw how I felt. "Don't worry, George, I haven't gone crazy. Her time -is 2973, more than a thousand years from now. The only way I've seen -and talked to her is on a time-contact machine." - -"Come again?" - -"A kind of time machine. It can't send material objects back and -forth across time, as far as I know, but it can send certain waves, -especially the kind we use to transmit signals. That's how she and I -could talk to each other and see each other." - -"Perry, I think you ought to see a good doctor." - -"It's a remarkable device," he said, paying no attention to how I -was trying to help him. "She's the one who first constructed it and -contacted me. It's based on an extension of Einstein's equations----" - -"You think you can explain so much," I said. "Okay, then, explain this. -This dame isn't going to be born for a thousand years. And yet you -tell me you're in love with her. What's the difference between you and -somebody that's nuts?" I asked, as if anybody knew the answer. - -He certainly didn't. In fact, he went ahead and proved to me that they -were the same thing. Because for the next couple of weeks, the only -thing he'd talk about, outside of equations I couldn't understand, -was this dame. How smart she was, and how beautiful she was, and how -wonderful she was in every way that a dame can be wonderful, and how -she loved him. For a time he had me convinced that she actually existed. - -"Compared with you," I said, "Romeo had a mild case." - -"There are some quantities so great that you can't measure them," he -said. "That will give you some idea of our love for each other." - -There it went, the old poetry, cropping out in him just like before. -And all the time I'd been thinking it was like measles, something that -you get once and it builds up your resistance so you don't get it -again, at least not bad. It just goes to show how wrong I could be. - -"What preacher are you going to get to marry you?" I asked. "A guy born -five hundred years from now?" - -"I don't think that's funny," he said. - -"You're telling me. Look, Perry, you're smart enough to know what I'm -thinking----" - -"You still think I'm crazy." - -"I got an open mind on the subject. Now, if you won't see a -doctor--then how about letting me take a look at this dame, so I can -convince myself?" - -"No," he said. "I've considered doing that, and decided against it. -Her voice and image come through for only about five minutes a day, -sometimes less. And those minutes are very precious to us. We don't -want any one else present, any one at all." - -"Not even to convince me she actually exists?" - -"You wouldn't be convinced anyway," he said very shrewdly. "No matter -what I showed you, you'd still find a reason to call it a fraud." - -He was right at that. It would take a lot of convincing to make me -believe that a babe who wasn't going to get born for a thousand years -was in love with him. - -By this time, though, I was sure of one thing--there was something -screwy going on in that laboratory of his. For five minutes a day he -was watching some dame's picture, listening to her voice. If I had an -idea what she was like, I might figure out where to go from there. - -I began keeping an eye on Perry, dropping in at the laboratory to pay -him visits. There was what looked like a ten-inch TV tube in one corner -of his place, not housed in a cabinet, but lying on the table among -dozens of other tubes and rheostats and meters and other things I -didn't know about. Along the wall that led from this corner was a lot -of stuff which Perry said was high voltage, and warned me not to touch. - -I kept away. I wasn't trying to figure out how to get myself killed. -All I wanted to know was when he saw this girl. - -Finally I managed to pin the time down to between three and four in the -afternoon. For five minutes every day, during that hour, he locked the -door and didn't answer phone calls. I figured that if I dropped in then -I might get a glimpse of her. - -And that's what I did. - -At first, when I knocked on the door, there was no answer. In a minute, -though, I heard Perry's voice, but he wasn't talking to me. He was -saying, "Darling," and he sounded kind of sick, which I figured was -due to love. Come to think of it, he might have been scared a little. -I heard him say, "Don't be afraid," and it was quiet for about fifteen -seconds. - -Then I heard a terrific crash, like lightning striking. The door shook, -and I smelled something sharp, and the first thing I wanted to do was -get out of that place. But I couldn't leave my brother in there. - -I put my shoulder to the door and had no trouble at all. The explosion, -or whatever it was, must have weakened the hinges. As the door crashed -in, I looked for Perry. - -There was no sign of him. But I could see his shoes, on the floor in -front of that TV tube, where he must have been standing. No feet in -them, though, just his socks. All the high-voltage stuff was smoking. -The TV screen was all lit up, and on it I could see a girl's face, the -same girl whose picture Perry had shown me. She was wearing one of -those funny costumes, and she looked scared. It was a clear picture, -and I could even see the way she gulped. - -Then she broke out into a happy smile and, for about half a second, -before the second explosion, I could see Perry on the screen. After -that second explosion--even though it wasn't near as big as the -first--that TV set was nothing but a mess of twisted junk, and there -was no screen left to see anything on. - -Perry liked to have everything just so, and he'd never think of going -anyplace without his tie being knotted just right, and his socks -matching, and so on. And here he'd traveled a thousand years into the -future in bare feet. I felt kind of embarrassed for him. - -Anyway, they were engaged, and now they must be married, so I guess she -had slippers waiting for him. I'm just sorry I missed the wedding. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Picture Bride, by William Morrison - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PICTURE BRIDE *** - -***** This file should be named 51009.txt or 51009.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/0/0/51009/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses.
