The story goes that the Berthelot and the Breguet families had been benevolent for quite a long time yet Marcelin had not set out to straightforwardly take a gander at the delightful Breguet girl, Sophie, until one day, a mishap welcomed them into the crash on the Pont-Neuf.
She was crossing the long scaffold before Berthelot and advancing with trouble in the teeth of a solid breeze when an unexpected blast got her skirt and Tuscan cap and blew her straight into his arms. After seven days, Berthelot wound up wedded.
On the event of the public service to respect his seventy-fifth year, Berthelot indeed demanded the acculturating soul of science. "It isn't for the fulfilment of our private vanity that the present reality gives proper respect to the man of science.
It is because it realizes that the man of science deserving of the name, sanctifies his life impartially to the incredible work of our age—the enhancement of a ton of all, the rich, poor people, the upbeat and the torment.
I know not on the off chance that I have satisfied the honourable ideal, however at any rate it has presented to me the solidarity to have made this the point that has coordinated my life."
Thought back his physicist and companion Dixon: "Berthelot was graciousness itself. We were brought home and engaged by Madam Berthelot, whose silver hair elevated the holy person like the magnificence of her face. Berthelot was brimming with fire and speedy answers.
At the point when Williamson energized him on the velocity with which his journals showed up, Berthelot answered, 'Ah! You English are excessively mindful, excessively scared of submitting yourselves—what merits doing merits distributing!' It was maybe normal for him that an hour before he had offered me the inverse and better guidance!"
Berthelot once got back to discover his significant other approaching her end, the two of them realized that passing was close. "What will happen to him when I am no longer there," were the final words she addressed her girl.
Berthelot was distant from everyone else with his significant other when she kicked the bucket. He at that point called his kids into the room, kissed the dormant structure, strolled into the following room and hurled himself upon a lounge chair. Hearing him murmur, his child rushed to him and held onto his hand, yet Berthelot was at that point dead. Dixon remarked: "It was the call of the heart that can't endure partition."
