"A day will come ere long when the two Sanghursts will come at nightfall to Woodcrych, to try, as they have done before, some strange experiments in the laboratory my father has had made for himself.
But the yearning must be as much a part of him as his love for mathematics so much so that all his engineering days he will feel something akin to envy for the machinist who works over a machine of the engineer's own devising and it must be vitally a part of him.

Who pervert young people by laying down such rules of hygiene? Who pervert women by devising and teaching them ways by which not to have children?
The kiln-dried material was ready for use in one-third the time it would have taken to season the material in the air. Heavy green oak timbers for wagons and wheels were dried in the kiln in ninety to one hundred days. It would have taken two years to cure this material outdoors. By their valuable test work, scientists are devising efficient means of protecting wood against decay.
So when they had come thither, and sat them down on the polished stones close by each other, Pallas Athene went on her way through the town, in the semblance of the herald of wise Alcinous, devising a return for the great-hearted Odysseus.
