J. J. Thomson in his office at the Cavendish Laboratory. A colleague of
Thomson's, Lord Rayleigh, said that "J.J. had something to say
on nearly any subject that might turn up. He was a good
raconteur, but also a good listener, and knew how to draw out
even shy members of the company.... J.J., while talking, paced
the room vigorously in a manner rather suggestive of a caged
lion."
