Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII. DR. NANSEN AT HOME. A House is ofttimes the true reflex of its owner's mind. A man naturally surrounds himself with the things that most appeal to his tastes. The books he most loves are on the shelves. If he have travelled, relics from foreign countries surround the room. Should he be musical, his best-loved instrument finds an honoured place. If artistic, the walls will be covered with such art as most appeals to his intelligence. The home necessarily becomes the expression of its owner's tastes. It is an old saying, that "you never know a man till you are married to him," and the words apply equally that "one never knows a man at all until one has seen him in his own home." One must know him in the midst of his household gods, every one of which can unfold a page in the history of its owner's life. Lysaker Station is some half-dozen miles from Christiania. Our little engine, almost enveloped in its snow-plough, had dragged us along slowly, and even to accomplish that short distance had taken nearly twice the allotted time. There, on the platform, awaiting our arrival, stood Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. It was a bitterly cold day--the thermometer registered 9 below zero, Fahr., or 410 of frost--and there he stood without even an overcoat, merely wearing the gray ski uniform which suited his lithesome figure so, well. His hands were enveloped in a pair of the usual Norwegian knitted "baby" gloves, without any fingers, only a thumb. All Northern nations know the advisability of keeping the extremities covered, and consequently always wear gloves, even when fishing! "Welcome, a thousand welcomes to Lysaker!" Nansen said, warmly shaking us by the hand. "But you have brought cold weather with you; I hope you will not suffer from it...".
