The intonation of her voice, the change in her manner, gave the exact degree of consideration proper to accord to the head of an ancient Roman family, and the dandy son of a Lucca chemist.
The upholder of the phlogistic theory could not think of burning as possible unless there was a suitable receptacle for the phlogiston of the burning substance: when burning occurred in the air, the part played by the air, according to the phlogistic chemist, was to receive the expelled phlogiston; in this sense the air acted as the pabulum, or nourishment, of the burning substance.
The Chemist went on. "It is obvious then, that although when coming down the distance must be covered to some extent by physical movement by traveling geographically, so to speak going back, that is not altogether the case. Most of the distance may be covered by bodily growth, rather than by a movement of the body from place to place." "We might get lost," objected the Very Young Man.
But if rescuers came and I succeeded in passing for the German chemist the presence of a woman in my new role of life would surely undo all my effort. If no personal acquaintance of the dead man came with the rescuing party I saw no reason why I could not for the time pass successfully as Armstadt.
Du Maurier had in 1856, when his father died, practically the choice of two arts, painting and singing, in both of which he seemed to have a chance of distinguishing himself. And as the essay of 1861 was so soon afterwards to prove, there was really another alternative, that of authorship, for the gifted analytical chemist.
Frank Palmer, the gentleman whom we saw descend from the coach, was the eldest son of a wholesale and manufacturing chemist in London. He was now about five-and-twenty, and having just been admitted as a partner, he had begun, as the custom was in those days, to travel for his firm.
Lots of things? Oh, I know. But what solid? That's why I'm asking. Come over. All right. At once." He hung up the receiver. "My brother," he spoke. "It has passed beyond my province and into his. He is a chemist. As an expert he may give you a real opinion." Surely we needed one. It was against reason. It had taken me completely off my balance.
"That is Professor Hastings of Yale," I replied "perhaps the most eminent chemist in this or any other country." "And what did he do when he was a boy?" asked young Breen. "Made pills, I expect, and washed out test tubes and retorts," interrupted Peter, with a look on his face as if the poor professor were more to be pitied than commended. "Did any of them dig?" asked the boy.
Behold the brave Commandant Bravida, Costecalde the armourer, the Chief Judge, the chemist, and the whole noble corps of cap-poppers, who pressed around their leader, and carried him in triumph out through the passages. Singular effects of the mirage! the hide of the blind lion sent to Bravida was the cause of all this riot.
There was the beautiful Emma Baeyer, the daughter of General Baeyer, who afterward conducted the measuring of the meridian for central Europe; pretty, lively Anna Bisting; and Gretchen Bugler, a handsome, merry girl, who afterward married Paul Heyse and died young; Clara and Agnes Mitscherlich, the daughters of the celebrated chemist, the younger of whom was especially dear to my childish heart.
