The Prof’s secretiveness also amused his brother Charles, who told me that one of his tasks as Attaché in Washington was to arrange the transport of all nuclear physicists and others from Britain who were visiting or working at such stations as Los Alamos in connection with the atomic bomb project. Among these visitors was the Prof, who used to spin Charles the most fantastic yarns regarding the purpose of his visits, not knowing that his brother was already in the atomic picture and had in fact made all the travel arrangements for him.
Apparently the Lindemann siblings never gossiped.
