They were\u003cbr\u003etruly so wonderful that even now I am bewildered when I think of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy uncle was a German, having married my mother's sister, an\u003cbr\u003eEnglishwoman. Being very much attached to his fatherless nephew, he\u003cbr\u003einvited me to study under him in his home in the fatherland. This home\u003cbr\u003ewas in a large town, and my uncle a professor of philosophy, chemistry,\u003cbr\u003egeology, mineralogy, and many other ologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne day, after passing some hours in the laboratory--my uncle being\u003cbr\u003eabsent at the time--I suddenly felt the necessity of renovating the\u003cbr\u003etissues--\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;i.e.\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;, I was hungry, and was about to rouse up our old French\u003cbr\u003ecook, when my uncle, Professor Von Hardwigg, suddenly opened the street\u003cbr\u003edoor, and came rushing upstairs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow Professor Hardwigg, my worthy uncle, is by no means a bad sort of\u003cbr\u003eman; he is, however, choleric and original. To bear with him means to\u003cbr\u003eobey; and scarcely had his heavy feet resounded within our joint\u003cbr\u003edomicile than he shouted for me to attend upon him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Harry--Harry--Harry--\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI hastened to obey, but before I could reach his room, jumping three\u003cbr\u003esteps at a time, he was stamping his right foot upon the landing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Harry!\" he cried, in a frantic tone, \"are you coming up?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow to tell the truth, at that moment I was far more interested in the\u003cbr\u003equestion as to what was to constitute our dinner than in any problem of\u003cbr\u003escience; to me soup was more interesting than soda, an omelette more\u003cbr\u003etempting than arithmetic, and an artichoke of ten times more value than\u003cbr\u003eany amount of asbestos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut my uncle was not a man to be kept waiting; so adjourning therefore\u003cbr\u003eall minor questions, I presented myself before him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was a very learned man. Now most persons in this category supply\u003cbr\u003ethemselves with information, as peddlers do with goods, for the benefit\u003cbr\u003eof others, and lay up stores in order to diffuse them abroad for the\u003cbr\u003ebenefit of society in general. Not so my excellent uncle, Professor\u003cbr\u003eHardwigg; he studied, he consumed the midnight oil, he pored over heavy\u003cbr\u003etomes, and digested huge quartos and folios in order to keep the\u003cbr\u003eknowledge acquired to himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere was a reason, and it may be regarded as a good one, why my uncle\u003cbr\u003eobjected to display his learning more than was absolutely necessary: he\u003cbr\u003estammered; and when intent upon explaining the phenomena of the heavens,\u003cbr\u003ewas apt to find himself at fault, and allude in such a vague way to sun,\u003cbr\u003emoon, and stars that few were able to comprehend his meaning. To tell\u003cbr\u003ethe honest truth, when the right word would not come, it was generally\u003cbr\u003ereplaced by a very powerful adjective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn connection with the sciences there are many almost unpronounceable\u003cbr\u003enames--names very mu","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068405104880,"sku":"2940012123305","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012123305_p0.jpg?v=1763552696","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012123305","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
