Summer Seduction. Daphne Clair

СКАЧАТЬ but you probably mean arithmetic. Pure mathematics deals with puzzles and patterns and universal forms. It’s full of mystery and magic.’

      Blythe blinked disbelievingly. ‘Magic?’

      ‘Throughout the ages numbers have been recognised as mystical. Pythagoras founded a secret society dedicated to their study and worship.’

      ‘They worshipped numbers?’

      ‘Uh-huh.’

      ‘Do you?’ She slanted him a questioning smile.

      ‘They fascinate me.’ His eyes were alight and very green. He glanced at the nets above them, laden with colour. ‘You might appreciate a comparison made by a mathematician called Barry Mazur, who says that number theory effortlessly produces innumerable problems which have a sweet, innocent air about them—like tempting flowers.’

      ‘Flowers?’

      ‘Mm-hmm.’ The smile in Jas’s eyes deepened, and she felt her heart give an odd little skip. ‘He also says that it swarms with bugs waiting to bite the flowerlovers who, once bitten, are inspired to excesses of effort.’

      ‘Flowers,’ Blythe repeated. ‘I suppose,’ she said doubtfully, ‘bugs do inspire extra effort in getting rid of them to preserve the flowers.’

      ‘And now you know what a party-pooper a mathematician can be! I really am leaving.’

      

      Halfway to Apiata the following Monday, Blythe came upon Jas’s car, the hood raised while he inspected the engine. She drew up beside him. ‘Can I help?’

      Jas straightened. ‘Only if you have spare parts for this thing. I think there’s a crack in the carburettor.’

      ‘I could give you a lift to Tau’s garage at Apiata.’

      ‘Thanks, that would be very helpful. Just a minute.’ He opened the door of the station wagon and brought out his laptop computer and a portable printer, then climbed into the van beside her.

      ‘Do you go everywhere with those?’ Blythe enquired curiously. He was wise to remove them from the car before he left it, but she didn’t think he’d need to worry about his house being burgled.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
