In this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s "Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment," which two sentences best summarize the passage? -A strange chillness, whether of the body or spirit they could not tell, was creeping gradually over them all.
-They gazed at one another, and fancied that each fleeting moment snatched away a charm, and left a deepening furrow where none had been before.
-The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine.
-"Yes, friends, ye are old again," said Dr. Heidegger, "and lo! the Water of Youth is all lavished on the ground.
-Well, I bemoan it not; for if the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments. Such is the lesson ye have taught me!"
-But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves.
-They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.
