" It's a bit chilly today, isn't it? " Edward Fairchild rubbed his hands for some heat.
Newton, feeling the goosebumps all over his skin, nodded, " It is quite unusual, this chill. I should have dressed more adequately. "
" Well, it can't be helped. The morning was quite sunny, and no one could have predicted that the weather would turn out like this by the end of the day. "
" Forget it, Newton, would you like to go out for some tea? "
Newton thought about it and shook his head, " No, you go ahead, I'll stay in the laboratory for tonight. "
" Well, suit yourself. " Fairchild did not push it because he knew what kind of a man Newton was.
Eventually, Fairchild joined with a French scientist, Bram Hendriksen, and left the laboratory perimeter for some tea.
