Making Acquaintance
From “Live with Lightning” by Mitchell Wilson
Late in the afternoon, after a few couples had already left, there was a stir of interest with the arrival of a rather handsome self-assured young man about thirty years old. Apparently he had been expected. Both Professor and Mrs. Fox went to greet him.
“That’s Tony Haviland”, Maxwell told Erik. “He’s the man we were talking about this morning.” Erik couldn’t remove his eyes from Haviland’s fair head. He watched him go from group to group, always with the same ease, always received with the same pleasure and interest in what he had to say. In a little while Haviland came over to greet Maxwell.
“Hello, Max,” he said pleasantly. “You’re getting on in years.”
“Oh, I’m just getting ready for my finals, then I’ll bloom again. How do you like working in England?”
“Wonderful. They’re going to have a big year in nuclear physics. When I come back here there’s going to be a lot of work to do. I’m sorry you won’t be here to work with me. What are you going to be doing in Washington?”
“Taking life easy, I guess, while you’re beating your brains out. But if I won’t be here, Gorin will. This is Erik Gorin, Tony. Gorin, Dr. Haviland.”
