You mustnt blame me if you dont get on with him, he said; I know nothing more of him than I have learned from meeting him occasionally in the laboratory.
<p>…Nothing could exceed his energy when the working fit was upon him; but now and again a reaction would seize him, and for days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night.
