I read The Whisperer in the Darkness, quite enjoying it, but was somewhat perplexed as to the purport of the colloquy between the buzzing voices, presumably Mi-Go, the speech machine, and Noyes, near the end of the novella. So as to avoid any uncertainty regarding the passage in question, I have decided to post the colloquy. It is as follows.
(The speech machine) "...brought it on myself... sent back the letters and the record... end on it.. taken in..seeing and hearing.. damn you... impersonal force, after all... fresh, shiny cylinder... great God..."
(first buzzing voice) "...time we stopped... small and human... Akeley... brain... saying..."
(second buzzing voice) Nyarlathotep... Wilmarth.... records and letters.... cheap imposture..."
(Noyes)...(an unpronounceable word or name, ossibly N'gah-Kthun) harmless... peace... couple of weeks... theatrical... told you that before..."
(first buzzing voice) "...no reason... original plan.. effects... Noyes can watch Round Hill... fresh cylinder... Noyes's car..."
(Noyes) "...well... all yours... down here...rest...place..."
(A curious sort of flapping sound)
(The sound of an automobile starting and receding)
(Silence)
It might also be necessary to re-read parts of the novella following and preceding the above excerpt for context. I apologize if the meaning that has eluded me is fairly simple, and I have wasted your time. Thanks.
