Madame Curie is intelligent but as cold as a herring, meaning that she is lacking in all feelings of joy and sorrow. Almost the only way in which she expresses her feelings is to rail at things she doesn't like. And she has a daughter who is even worse - like a grenadier. This daughter is also very gifted.
