Suzanne Lenglen, with a shaking hand, tilted to her lips a long amber glass. The touch of her hand frosted the glass, for she was very hot; only a mad woman would imbibe iced liquors at such a time???a mad woman, or a French woman. Onetime King Manuel of Portugal, Grand Duke Michael of Russia, ex-King George of Greece, the Rajah of Pudukkottia, watched the amber glass tilt up and up; the linesmen, the umpires and 4,000 of the smartest women and the richest men in Europe counted her rapid swallows. Nine, ten, eleven. . . The glass...

Moreover, during a good part of the voyage, she used her auxiliary Diesel engine...
...this way?of electrons. On the number of electrons depends the properties of each element. In other words, all the elements are a sort of series, growing more complicated as the number of electrons, and hence the complexity of the atom, increases. Remove one electron at a time???if you could?and you would successively change an elementary substance from one element to another. In the case of the more complex elements?of the radium type, for example?there is a natural tendency to break down into simpler elements, which is accompanied by an efflux of energy...
