It seemed strange that a man who one moment could be so light, the next could be so dull. Soon you began to be irritated. Then you werebored. When you reached the end--if you ever reached the end--youwondered if the man was mad, or if he was merely stupid. But he wasneither mad nor stupid. He was a genius, who, so far, declined to allowhimself to be managed. When he became manageable, he would cease to be agenius--in the sense in which the word is here being used.
