It chanced, however, to have one oddly dramatic feature in the fact that Holsten, after being kept waiting about the court for two days as a beggar might have waited at a rich man's door, after being bullied by ushers and watched by policemen, was called as a witness, rather severely handled by counsel, and told not to 'quibble' by the judge when he was trying to be absolutely explicit.
We don't want to know whether they were large or small additions nor what the consequences of your admission may be. That you will leave to us. Holsten was silent. 'Surely? said the judge, almost pityingly. 'No, he hasn't, said Holsten, perceiving that for once in his life he must disregard infinitesimals.
'You know, sir, I've a fancy it is hard to prove such things that civilisation was very near disaster when the atomic bombs came banging into it, that if there had been no Holsten and no induced radio-activity, the world would have smashed much as it did. Only instead of its being a smash that opened a way to better things, it might have been a smash without a recovery.
At these words Tonio's entire being began to leap and shout. "Why, then we'll go over the ramparts now," he said with agitated voice. "Over the Mill Rampart and the Holsten Rampart, and then I'll take you home that way, Hans ... Why no, it doesn't matter if I go home alone then; next time you'll go with me."
It would be possible to cite a thousand instances of error and inefficiency in its proceedings due to the forgetfulness, irritability, or fatigue of its members. It experimented considerably and blundered often. Excepting Holsten, whose gift was highly specialised, it is questionable whether there was a single man of the first order of human quality in the gathering.
'Felt like an imbecile who has presented a box full of loaded revolvers to a Creche, he notes. He met a man named Lawson, an old school-fellow, of whom history now knows only that he was red-faced and had a terrier. He and Holsten walked together and Holsten was sufficiently pale and jumpy for Lawson to tell him he overworked and needed a holiday.
If I were to burn all these papers, before a score of years had passed, some other man would be doing this. . . Section 3 Holsten, before he died, was destined to see atomic energy dominating every other source of power, but for some years yet a vast network of difficulties in detail and application kept the new discovery from any effective invasion of ordinary life.
'Tell us some of the things you believe we shall presently learn, give us an idea of the things we may presently do, said the king to Holsten. Holsten opened out the vistas.... 'Science, the king cried presently, 'is the new king of the world. 'OUR view, said the president, 'is that sovereignty resides with the people. 'No! said the king, 'the sovereign is a being more subtle than that.
This diffidence struck the king as remarkable. He plunged upon the possibilities of science. All the huge expenditure that had hitherto gone into unproductive naval and military preparations, must now, he declared, place research upon a new footing. 'Where one man worked we will have a thousand. He appealed to Holsten. 'We have only begun to peep into these possibilities, he said.
The judge scratched his nose with a quill pen, and sneered at Holsten's astonishment round the corner of his monstrous wig. Holsten was a great man, was he? Well, in a law-court great men were put in their places.
