Their arguments were couched in language which made Michel jump. The discussion was hot, and neither would give up his chosen curve to his adversary. This scientific dispute lasted so long that it made Michel very impatient. "Now, gentlemen cosines, will you cease to throw parabolas and hyperbolas at each other's heads? I want to understand the only interesting question in the whole affair.
"Yes, my friends, it is the radiant orb itself lighting up the summit of the mountains situated on the southern borders of the moon. We are evidently nearing the south pole." "After having passed the north pole," replied Michel. "We have made the circuit of our satellite, then?" "Yes, my good Michel." "Then, no more hyperbolas, no more parabolas, no more open curves to fear?"
"Yes, my friends, it is the radiant orb itself, lighting up the summit of the mountains situated on the southern border of the moon. We are evidently approaching the South Pole!" "After having passed the North Pole," answered Michel. "Then we have been all round our satellite." "Yes, friend Michel." "Then we have no more hyperbolas, no more parabolas, no more open curves to fear!"
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.
