Summary "The Professor's Experiment: A Novel, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Duchess is a work of fiction likely written in the late 19th century. The novel revolves around the intriguing and ethically charged experimentation of an old professor who is obsessed with his groundbreaking scientific discovery—an anesthetic capable of inducing prolonged states of unconsciousness. The story introduces key characters, including the professor himself and Paul Wyndham, a young barrister who is both a disciple and confidant. 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. This initial portion establishes a mix of urgency and ethical tension, leaving readers eager to see how the story unfolds and how the characters navigate the impending challenges.
