Page "James Price (chemist)" Paragraph 5

Despite the success of his initial demonstrations and the furor they had caused, only three members turned up in Guildford on the appointed day.

Although clearly disappointed by the poor turnout, Price welcomed the three men and then, stepping to one side, drank the flask of laurel water he had prepared.

The three men immediately noticed a change in his appearance, but before they could do anything, Price was dead.
