Goulden smiled as he sat at his workbench Jean stood up near the door and said: "Now I am going, Joseph, to Harberg. Father and grandmother are waiting for me." "Stay, Jean, you will dine with us." Mr. Goulden and Catherine urged him also, but he would not wait. I embraced him on the stairs and felt that I loved him like a brother.
Beside a workbench stood two long cylinders, studded with bolts. "That's what I'm looking for," exclaimed Craig. "Here, Walter, take one. I'll take the other and the tubes and " He did not pause to finish, but seized up a peculiar shaped instrument, like a huge hook, with a curved neck and sharp beak.
Then, catching sight of the old inventor half concealed behind his workbench, he shouted: "Here, Willie, you rascal, out with you! Don't go hidin' there behind that table. Man alive, why didn't you tell us what you was up to?" "Did it work, Zenas Henry?" queried the little fellow eagerly. "Did it work!" mimicked Zenas Henry with a guffaw. "Say, Phineas, did it?"
The big lamp above Joe's workbench was unlighted so the little shop was in darkness except for the fitful wavering of the ruddy wood fire in the big stove. The streets were empty and quiet.

He caught up a piece of brown paper from the workbench, tore a ragged corner from it, and hastily scrawled a message. Bob watched the process with amusement.
One of these sets he gave to Bob to take home as his own special property, and the other one he spread out on the workbench for consultation as their needs required. Up to this time no effort had been made to keep children and curious adults out of the grounds, but as their machine was now beginning to take on real form, they determined to do this.
Yet as he darted a glance at the earnest young face bending over the workbench Willie's conscience smote him and he questioned whether he might not be doing his comrade a dire injustice. The thought caused him to flush uncomfortably, and he flushed still redder when Bob suddenly straightened up and met his eye. Both men stood alert, held tensely by the same sound.
His father had bestowed all his own leisure, and some expense, which he could ill afford, upon his education, trusting one day that he would rival the genius after whom he had been christened; but Newton was not of a disposition to sit down either at a desk or a workbench.
