So it befell that shortly after this conversation Paul Vanderhoffen came to Leamington Manor, and through an entire summer goaded young Percival Claridge, then on the point of entering Cambridge, but pedagogically branded as "deficient in mathematics," through many elaborate combinations of x and y and cosines and hyperbolas. Lady John Claridge, mother to the pupil, approved of the new tutor.
"I looked just as you do now- -I felt just as you do now all in a fright and a puzzle, when I first heard of angles and sines, and cosines, and arcs and centres, and complements and tangents." "Oh mercy! mercy!" interrupted Francisco, whilst Carlo laughed, with a benevolent sense of superiority. "Why," said Carlo, "you'll find all these things are nothing when you are used to them.
Let those who denounce and deplore this harsh unpeopling come and stand upon the cold, bleak summit of one of these Sutherland mountains. Let them bring their compasses, or some other instrument for measuring the angles, sines and cosines of human conditions.
Stern believed he had an answer to this problem on the afternoon of the second day. For many hours he had hung his pendulums over the cliff, noted deflections, taken triangulations, and covered the surface of the smooth stone with X's, Y's, Z's, sines and cosines and abstruse formulae all scrawled with charcoal, his only means of writing.
I, however, struggled on with my sines and cosines for a few days more; but stepping into the garden one charming noon, to take the sun's altitude, there I met my angel, Like Proserpine gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower. It was in vain to think of doing any more good at school.
