The room is tidy enough, with the tidiness of a house dominated by a bachelor who is dominated by his work rather than by dmoestic confort; and on the large table near the centre of the room there is sa litter of scientific apparatus employed by Prof. Corrie in the experiment in which he is now engaged. On the walls of the room are a number of diagrams, showing sections of very large bombs. There is a model of a big bomb on a stand underneath one of these diagrams. There are sectional diagrams of aeroplanes and airships to be seen, also large models of aeroplanes and airships.
Professor Henry Corrie, aged between fifty and sixty, is sitting at the centre table watching a chemical process in a large retort. He has cold, humourless eyes, and his mouth, if it were not concealed by a thickish beard, would be seen to have cruel lines about it. He does not, however, harmless, kindly, inconsequent person; completely absorbed, of course, in his work. There is also a servent her name Hannah.
