Hooke was there, too, for Gresham's College had become too crowded with scheming fops. Bedlam was years away from being done. The masons hadn't even begun work on the wings. But the middle part was built, and on top of it was a round turret with windows on all sides, where Hooke liked to retreat and work, because it was lonely and the light was excellent. Daniel for his part stayed down below, and only went out into the city to meet with Leibniz.
