The director offered Martin all possible support for finishing his work and the position of
laboratory head.

l. b) The way he is described is ironic (One morning he burst in, whis-

kers alive...; Tubbs gasped, assaulted his whiskers, did a moment of impressive thinking,
and clamored...)

m. a) This sentence shows it: Martin felt that his one ewe lamb was be-ing snatched
from him but he could sec no way to refuse...

n. This is an allusion to the episode from the New Testament, when the Devil tempted
Christ by offering him power over the world. This information as a rule can be found in
phraseology and cultural dictionaries and dictionaries of idioms.
