He was very tired, but at her request he sat down beside her, where she could look into his face and see, as she said, if he answered her for true.
Life was becoming clearer. I was broadening out. I was overborne by a sense of my growing perspicacity My keenest pleasure was to do geometrical problems, preferably such as contained puzzles in construction. On one occasion I sat up all night and far into the following day over a riddle of this kind. It was about 2 o'clock when I dressed and went to lunch, which was also my breakfast.
