"I have no friend, Margaret: when I am glowing with the enthusiasm of success, there will be none to participate my joy; if I am assailed by disappointment, no one will endeavour to sustain me in dejection."
Someone is a Debby downer. It's weird that, even though he's only looking for magnets, Robert has so much in common with Victor. Above all, both men felt alone because of their pursuits for greater knowledge and accomplishments. However, Robert seems to be forgetting that Margaret is his friend technically. This book is beginning to seem like it will be depressing cover to cover if it's based off of two men's sob stories, loneliness, and demise. I think that accomplishing the trip to the North Pole or creating life from lifeless matter is incredibly rewarding, even if there's no one there to enjoy it with. Besides, now Robert has Victor. I really hope Victor doesn't talk him out of it.
