The Master Key by L. Frank Baum, 1. Rob's Workshop

1. Rob's Workshop

Founded Upon The Mysteries Of Electricity

And The Optimism Of Its Devotees. It Was

Written For Boys, But Others May Read It

Who Knows?

These things are quite improbable, to be sure; but are they impossible?

Our big world rolls over as smoothly as it did centuries ago, without a squeak to show it needs oiling after all these years of revolution. But times change because men change, and because civilization, like John Brown's soul, goes ever marching on. The impossibilities of yesterday become the accepted facts of to-day.

Here is a fairy tale founded upon the wonders of electricity and written for children of this generation. Yet when my readers shall have become men and women my story may not seem to their children like a fairy tale at all.

Perhaps one, perhaps two—perhaps several of the Demon's devices will be, by that time, in popular use. Who knows?

1. Rob's Workshop When Rob became interested in electricity his clear-headed father considered the boy's fancy to be instructive as well as amusing; so he heartily encouraged his son, and Rob never lacked batteries, motors or supplies of any sort that his experiments might require. He fitted up little back room in the attic as his workshop, and from thence a net-work of wires soon ran throughout the house. Not only had every outside door its electric bell, but every window was fitted with a burglar alarm; moreover no one could cross the threshold of any interior room without registering the fact in Rob's workshop. The gas was lighted by an electric fob; a chime, connected with an erratic clock in the boy's room, woke the servants at all hours of the night and caused the cook to give warning; a bell rang whenever the postman dropped a letter into the box; there were bells, bells, bells everywhere, ringing at the right time, the wrong time and all the time. And there were telephones in the different rooms, too, through which Rob could call up the different members of the family just when they did not wish to be disturbed.

His mother and sisters soon came to vote the boy's scientific craze a nuisance; but his father was delighted with these evidences of Rob's skill as an electrician, and insisted that he be allowed perfect freedom in carrying out his ideas. "Electricity," said the old gentleman, sagely, "is destined to become the motive power of the world. The future advance of civilization will be along electrical lines. Our boy may become a great inventor and astonish the world with his wonderful creations." "And in the meantime," said the mother, despairingly, "we shall all be electrocuted, or the house burned down by crossed wires, or we shall be blown into eternity by an explosion of chemicals!" "Nonsense!" ejaculated the proud father. "Rob's storage batteries are not powerful enough to electrocute one or set the house on fire. Do give the boy a chance, Belinda." "And the pranks are so humiliating," continued the lady. "When the minister called yesterday and rang the bell a big card appeared on the front door on which was printed the words: 'Busy; Call Again.' Fortunately Helen saw him and let him in, but when I reproved Robert for the act he said he was just trying the sign to see if it would work." "Exactly! The boy is an inventor already. I shall have one of those cards attached to the door of my private office at once. I tell you, Belinda, our son will be a great man one of these days," said Mr. Joslyn, walking up and down with pompous strides and almost bursting with the pride he took in his young hopeful. Mrs. Joslyn sighed. She knew remonstrance was useless so long as her husband encouraged the boy, and that she would be wise to bear her cross with fortitude.

Rob also knew his mother's protests would be of no avail; so he continued to revel in electrical processes of all sorts, using the house as an experimental station to test the powers of his productions. It was in his own room, however,—his "workshop"—that he especially delighted. For not only was it the center of all his numerous "lines" throughout the house, but he had rigged up therein a wonderful array of devices for his own amusement. A trolley-car moved around a circular track and stopped regularly at all stations; an engine and train of cars moved jerkily up and down a steep grade and through a tunnel; a windmill was busily pumping water from the dishpan into the copper skillet; a sawmill was in full operation and a host of mechanical blacksmiths, scissors-grinders, carpenters, wood-choppers and millers were connected with a motor which kept them working away at their trades in awkward but persevering fashion.

The room was crossed and recrossed with wires. They crept up the walls, lined the floor, made a grille of the ceiling and would catch an unwary visitor under the chin or above the ankle just when he least expected it. Yet visitors were forbidden in so crowded a room, and even his father declined to go farther than the doorway. As for Rob, he thought he knew all about the wires, and what each one was for; but they puzzled even him, at times, and he was often perplexed to know how to utilize them all.

One day when he had locked himself in to avoid interruption while he planned the electrical illumination of a gorgeous pasteboard palace, he really became confused over the network of wires. He had a "switchboard," to be sure, where he could make and break connections as he chose; but the wires had somehow become mixed, and he could not tell what combinations to use to throw the power on to his miniature electric lights. So he experimented in a rather haphazard fashion, connecting this and that wire blindly and by guesswork, in the hope that he would strike the right combination. Then he thought the combination might be right and there was a lack of power; so he added other lines of wire to his connections, and still others, until he had employed almost every wire in the room.

Although at first completely dazzled, he peered before him until he discovered that the light was concentrated near one spot, from which all the glorious rays seemed to scintillate.

Als Rob sich für Elektrizität interessierte, hielt sein klar denkender Vater die Fantasie des Jungen für lehrreich und unterhaltsam; er ermutigte seinen Sohn von ganzem Herzen, und Rob fehlte es nie an Batterien, Motoren oder irgendwelchen Materialien, die seine Experimente benötigten. ロブが電気に興味を持ったとき、彼の頭の悪い父親は、少年の空想は有益であると同時に面白いと考えました。それで彼は息子を心から励ましました、そしてロブは彼の実験が必要とするかもしれないどんな種類のバッテリー、モーターまたは供給も決して欠かしませんでした。 Quando Rob se interessou pela eletricidade, o seu pai, muito lúcido, considerou que a fantasia do rapaz era instrutiva e divertida; por isso, encorajou vivamente o filho e nunca lhe faltaram pilhas, motores ou qualquer outro tipo de material que as suas experiências pudessem exigir. He fitted up little back room in the attic as his workshop, and from thence a net-work of wires soon ran throughout the house. ||||||||gác mái|||||||||||||||| ||||||||Dachboden|||Werkstatt|||dort|||||||||| ||||||||屋根裏||||||そこから|||||||||| ele|preparou||pequena|||na|a|sótão|como|sua|oficina|e|a partir de|daí|uma|rede|oficina|de|fios|em breve|se estendeu|por toda|a|a casa Er richtete das kleine Hinterzimmer im Dachboden als seine Werkstatt ein, und von dort aus zog sich bald ein Netz von Drähten durch das gesamte Haus. 彼は彼のワークショップとして屋根裏部屋に小さな奥の部屋を設置し、それからすぐにワイヤーのネットワークが家中を走りました。 Instalou um pequeno quarto nas traseiras do sótão como oficina e, a partir daí, uma rede de fios percorreu rapidamente toda a casa. Not only had every outside door its electric bell, but every window was fitted with a burglar alarm; moreover no one could cross the threshold of any interior room without registering the fact in Rob's workshop. ||||||||||||||||Einbrecher||||||||Schwelle|||Innenraum|||vermerken||||| ||||||||||||||||侵入者警報||さらに||||||敷居||||||||||| não||tinha||externa|porta|sua|elétrica|campainha elétrica|mas também||janela|estava equipada|equipada com|com|uma|ladrão de casa|alarme de intrusão|além disso|nenhuma pessoa|uma|podia atravessar|atravessar|a|limite de entrada|de|qualquer uma|interior|quarto interior|||a|o fato|em|of Rob|oficina de Rob Nicht nur hatte jede Außentür ihre elektrische Glocke, sondern jedes Fenster war mit einem Einbruchsalarm ausgestattet; außerdem konnte niemand die Schwelle eines Innenraums überschreiten, ohne die Tatsache in Robs Werkstatt zu registrieren. すべての外のドアに電気ベルが付いていただけでなく、すべての窓に防犯装置が取り付けられていました。さらに、ロブのワークショップに事実を登録せずに、誰も室内の敷居を越えることはできませんでした。 Não só cada porta exterior tinha a sua campainha eléctrica, como cada janela estava equipada com um alarme antirroubo; além disso, ninguém podia atravessar a soleira de qualquer divisão interior sem registar o facto na oficina de Rob. The gas was lighted by an electric fob; a chime, connected with an erratic clock in the boy's room, woke the servants at all hours of the night and caused the cook to give warning; a bell rang whenever the postman dropped a letter into the box; there were bells, bells, bells everywhere, ringing at the right time, the wrong time and all the time. |||||||||||||không ổn định||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||Fob||Glocke||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||متصل|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||電気式の小||||||不規則な||||||目を覚まさ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| o||||por|um||dispositivo elétrico|um|sino|ligada|com|um|irregular|relógio|em|o|do menino|quarto do menino|acordou|o|os empregados|às|a qualquer hora|horas|de|o|da noite|e|fez com que|o|o cozinheiro|por|dar aviso|aviso|um|sino|soou|sempre que|o|o carteiro|deixava cair|um|carta|em|o|caixa de correio|havia|havia|sinos|sinos|sinos|em todo o lado|tocando|às|o|na hora certa|hora|o|errada|hora|e|a qualquer hora|o|hora Das Gas wurde durch einen elektrischen Zünder entzündet; ein Geläut, verbunden mit einer unberechenbaren Uhr im Zimmer des Jungen, weckte die Bediensteten zu allen Stunden der Nacht und sorgte dafür, dass die Köchin Alarm schlug; eine Glocke läutete, wann immer der Briefträger einen Brief in den Kasten warf; es gab überall Glocken, Glocken, Glocken, die zur richtigen Zeit, zur falschen Zeit und die ganze Zeit läuteten. O gás era aceso por um botão elétrico; um carrilhão, ligado a um relógio irregular no quarto do rapaz, acordava os criados a todas as horas da noite e fazia com que o cozinheiro desse o aviso; uma campainha tocava sempre que o carteiro deixava cair uma carta na caixa; havia campainhas, campainhas, campainhas por todo o lado, tocando à hora certa, à hora errada e a toda a hora.

One day when he had locked himself in to avoid interruption while he planned the electrical illumination of a gorgeous pasteboard palace, he really became confused over the network of wires. ||||||||||||||||chiếu sáng|||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||Beleuchtung|||prächtigen|Pappmaché|||||||||| ||||||||||中断||||||照明||||厚紙|||||||||| He had a "switchboard," to be sure, where he could make and break connections as he chose; but the wires had somehow become mixed, and he could not tell what combinations to use to throw the power on to his miniature electric lights. |||bảng điều khiển|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||thu nhỏ|| |||Wechselsprechgerät||||||||||||||||||irgendwie||||||||||||||||||||| |||配電盤|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||小型|| So he experimented in a rather haphazard fashion, connecting this and that wire blindly and by guesswork, in the hope that he would strike the right combination. ||||||willkürlich|Weise||||||blind|||Vermutung|||||||||| ||||||無計画な|||||||盲目的に|||推測|||||||||| Then he thought the combination might be right and there was a lack of power; so he added other lines of wire to his connections, and still others, until he had employed almost every wire in the room. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||verwendet|||||| Dann dachte er, die Kombination könnte richtig sein und es gäbe einen Mangel an Strom; also fügte er andere Drähte zu seinen Verbindungen hinzu, und noch weitere, bis er fast jeden Draht im Raum verwendet hatte.

Yet it would not work; and after pausing a moment to try to think what was wrong he went at it again, putting this and that line into connection, adding another here and another there, until suddenly, as he made a last change, a quick flash of light almost blinded him, and the switch-board crackled ominously, as if struggling to carry a powerful current. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||kêu lách tách|đáng lo ngại|||||||| doch||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||ändern|||||||||||||crackled|plötzlich|||struggling||||mächtig|plötzlich |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||パチパチ音|不吉に|||||||| Doch es funktionierte nicht; und nachdem er einen Moment innegehalten hatte, um zu überlegen, was falsch sein könnte, ging er erneut daran, diese und jene Leitung zu verbinden, hier einen weiteren hinzuzufügen und dort einen weiteren, bis plötzlich, als er eine letzte Änderung vornahm, ein schneller Lichtblitz ihn fast blendete, und das Schalttafel knisterte ominös, als ob es darum kämpfte, einen starken Strom zu leiten.

Rob covered his face at the flash, but finding himself unhurt he took away his hands and with blinking eyes attempted to look at a wonderful radiance which seemed to fill the room, making it many times brighter than the brightest day. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||ánh sáng||||||||||||||| ||||||||||unverletzt||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||輝き||||||||||||||| Rob hielt sich beim Blitz das Gesicht zu, aber als er feststellte, dass er unversehrt war, nahm er seine Hände weg und versuchte mit blinzelnden Augen, eine wunderbare Strahlung zu betrachten, die den Raum zu erfüllen schien und ihn viele Male heller machte als den hellsten Tag.

Although at first completely dazzled, he peered before him until he discovered that the light was concentrated near one spot, from which all the glorious rays seemed to scintillate. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||lấp lánh ||||blenden||||||||||||||||||||||||funkeln ||||まぶしかった||じっと見つめ||||||||||||||||||輝かしい||||きらめいていた

He closed his eyes a moment to rest them; then re-opening them and shading them somewhat with his hands, he made out the form of a curious Being standing with majesty and composure in the center of the magnificent radiance and looking down upon him! |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||vẻ uy nghi|||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||beschattend|||||||||||||||||||Gelassenheit||||||magnificent|Strahlung|||herunter|auf|ihnen ||||||||||||||影を作る|||||||||||||||||||落ち着き||||||壮大な|||||| Er schloss für einen Moment die Augen, um sie auszuruhen; dann öffnete er sie wieder und schattete sie ein wenig mit seinen Händen, sodass er die Gestalt eines seltsamen Wesens erblickte, das mit Majestät und Gelassenheit in der Mitte des großartigen Strahlens stand und auf ihn herabblickte!
