Moving Spirit
"Moving Spirit" is a science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 1957.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?62793 )〕 The story within a comic story is narrated by Harry Purvis, who is called to assist a scientist relative of his in a trial. The scientist has been brought before the court on charges of illegally brewing liquor. Purvis manages to get him acquitted, by arguing that he was actually working on a fictional "osmotic bomb." Purvis demonstrates this bomb by exploding it in the courtroom, thus "accidentally" destroying all the evidence. However, the scientist is later booked for driving under the influence.
The piece is one of two original stories written for Clarke's collection Tales from the White Hart, the other being "The Defenestration of Ermintrude Inch." ''Galaxy'' reviewer Floyd C. Gale praised the collection as "as light and frothy a conglomeration of sidesplitters as it has been my good fortune to read."〔"Galaxy's 5 Star Shelf", ''Galaxy Science Fiction'', June 1957, p.108〕
