As we came home, I was anxious to learn if Mr.Clerke did not think my dear friend "very nice." "Mr.Andrewes is a very remarkable man," said the tutor.

And he constantly repeated this.

"He is a very remarkable man." After a while Mr.Clerke ceased to be put out by my asking strange unchildish questions which he was not always able to answer.

He often said, "We will ask Mr.Andrewes what he thinks;" and for my own part, I respected him none the less that he often honestly confessed that he could not, off-hand, solve all the problems that exercised my brain.
He was not a good general naturalist but he was fond of geology, and was kind enough to take me out with him on "chipping" expeditions, and to start me with a "collection" of fossils.

I had already a collection of flowers, a collection of shells, a collection of wafers, and a collection of seals.
