What was the purpose of the murderer? Was it the robbery of Dewar's paltry wages? Was it the act of a tiger broken loose on the community? An act of pure wanton devilry? or was there some more reasonable explanation of this most atrocious crime?" Butler rejected altogether the theory of ordinary theft. No thief of ambitious views, he said, would pitch upon the house of a poor journeyman butcher.
'Ain't got such a thing as a drop o' spirit, 'ave yer? H. O. said no, we hadn't, only lemonade and tea. 'What's THAT then? He pointed to a bottle labelled Dewar's whisky, which stood on the table near the spirit-kettle. 'Oh, is THAT what you want? said H. O. kindly. The man is understood to have said he should bloomin' well think so, but H. O. is not sure about the 'bloomin'.
But more novel still was Dewar's experiment of inserting a small jet of ignited hydrogen into the vessel of liquid oxygen; for the jet continued to burn, forming water, of course, which was carried away as snow. The idea of a gas-jet burning within a liquid, and having snow for smoke, is not the least anomalous of the many strange conceptions that the low-temperature work has made familiar.
And yet, can you see the sun over the viaduct at Loughborough Junction of a morning, and catch its rays in the Thames off Dewar's whisky monument, and not shake with the joy of life? If so, you and Shakespeare are not yet in communication. What!
