| Danny fixed the little box on Eva's head. "It's a very clever machine," he said. "When a person tells a lie, this needle here moves around. The numbers 0 to 20 show the size of the lie. Now tell me a few good lies." Eva laughed, "What about? I never tell lies." The needle moved from 0 to 4. "You have just told one," Danny said. "A group 4 lie, small and interesting. Tell me a big, exciting lie." "You have got an ugly face, Danny Dyson." The needle fell back to zero, "No lie," Danny said. "So my mother was right then. She always said I was an ugly child. But this is not a joke, Eva. The police use machine like this. Suppose you say you have killed somebody. That's a big lie. It would send the needle round to 20. Think of a fat lie, like that." "I hate you, Danny Dyson!" Eva cried, "Oh, how I hate you! Is that a lie big enough?" Danny was fixing his eyes on the needle. "Funny," he said, "It has never been wrong before. Eva, have you?" He fixed his eyes on her then. He didn't understand the look on her face. |
