was a trial to work for and Davy's wife was even worse. I have read

There was a trying incident when the party visited Geneva.
Faraday was expected to eat in a seperate room at the house
of a professor there.(He was a 'paid help' in some respects.)
But the gracious host would not hear of it.
Later mentioned for his continuing help in 'Researches'.
