　　A
　　The country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife.The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.
　　At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer.The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping- on- a- chair -at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were.The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men.
　　“A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the officer says, “is to scream.And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."
　　The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests.As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess.With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair.She whispers to him.The servant's eyes widen.He turns quickly and leaves the room.No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.
　　The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place-under the table.
　　His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone."I want to st what control everyone at this table has.I will count three hundred-that's five minutes-and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"
　　The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying".… two hundred and eighty.."
　　when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milr or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors.
　　There is your proof!"the host says."A man has just shown us real control."
　　"Just a minute,"the American says, turning to his hostess,"How did you know that cobra was in the room?"
　　A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies."Because it was lying across my foot."
