Dr. Heidenhoffs Process
Excerpt from Dr. Heidenhoffs Process
Mr. Lewis, the minister, being seated directly under the clock, can not see it without turning around, wherein the audience has an advantage of him, which it makes full use of. Indeed, so closely is the general attention concentrated upon the time-piece, that a stranger might draw the mistaken inference that this was the object for whose worship the little company had gathered. Finally, making a slight concession of etiquette to curiosity, Mr. Lewis turns and looks up at the clock, and, again facing the people, observes, with the air of communicating a piece of intelligence.

Dated novella that starts off as a of novel of manners and then devolves into an at times interesting philosophical discussion before crash landing into an all time cop out of an ending.

This story is worth falling asleep to. A woman falls for a guy that disgraces her instead of a good guy. The good guy finds her & she eventually falls for him but can't get over her past. She doesn't even get the memory altering procedure she suggests. Instead she keeps herself from the good guy causing him more grief for the rest of his life.
