The Sea of Ash
“DR. POND AND THE SPIRITO MACCHINA I am rereading the section in Albert Pond's journal where he visits the dark, clanging room beneath the towering Italianate house in Manchester, trying to see if his experience will give some perspective to mine.
Pond, like Simon Brinklow before him, had embarked on a strange path of stepping-stones. His experience began with the discovery of Arabella, and (to recap) continued with the shell-faced baby, Brinklow's note, the discovery of Brinklow's books, the... melting of the infant, the strange and hideous death of Professor Wakefield (who wrote of the overlap theory) and Fractured Harry, who sent him to the Banchini House in New Hampshire.
Arcangelo Banchini, who built the house and invented the Spirit Machine, was in his seventies when Dr. Pond went to visit him, and while the man's health was failing, his mind remained sharp, and his dark eyes revealed great intensity. Pond wrote that his host was a very serious sort with no time left for humor or idleness.MoreLess
