He was at the Royal Society the day before, but found only routine matters to deal with. 'But there were engines at work in front of the house with tubes up to the windows of the Secretaries' room and tubes all over the floor to the end of the Library, with hissing joints, workmen in dirty blouses tramping all over the place'. Geikie was glad to leave. |
