"Has there been any change in London recently?"
"Well... London is still London, not much has changed. However, there has been quite some news from the Royal Society."
"News from the Royal Society?" Arthur asked as he lit his pipe, "Don't tell me Mr. Faraday didn't get the Copley Medal?"
"Of course not," Tennyson replied with a smile, "Mr. Faraday was elected unanimously."
Arthur joked, "Alfred, that's hardly news. It would be news if Mr. Faraday had not been elected. You may not realize what Mr. Faraday's paper 'On the Laws of Electromagnetic Induction' means to the scientific community; it's like the Duke of Wellington's Battle of Waterloo. So, once he produced that paper, it was only a matter of time before Mr. Faraday would secure the Copley Medal, the highest honor of the Royal Society. Thankfully, the academic committee of the Society did not disappoint, and they finally got this multiple choice question right."
