Vance turned to her "Madam. Architecture is the victory of Human achievement over the world. The usurpation about everything vile and inferior about the bestial nature. What is there but majesty of civilization. Even those Barbarian peoples who live in huts on the edge of the wilderness have had some achievement. There are men in the frozen north who build there house out of ice, as nothing else is around. Learning how things are built are very important."
Violet entertained a silent pause as her brother went on "Vance wants t be an inventor and great builder like Capability Brown or Michealangelo or Ramses." She said. "He builds clever little things for around the lab." She said.
"Yes well nothing like a building." He said "Or steel or a factory or a machine that puts lighting in a bottle. Or a candle that doesn't burn out when the wick is gone and you are out of whale oil." He said "By the time I get to discover anything it will all be discovered." Vance said to himself.
"Miss Fernsulfer do you think you think there is anything is yet to be discovered by my twin?" She teased her brother at such tirades.
