Moore left, by way of Newcastle, on 24 March. After much sea-sickness he arrived at Bergen at 1PM on 26 March and was met by Wittgenstein, who talked, as Moore’s diary puts it, till 1AM. They stayed in Bergen another day, shopping in the morning; then Wittgenstein talked till 6.30PM. More shopping and dinner till 8: ‘he abuses me till 12.15’. A strange reception, it may seem, for a guest: a stranger still reaction from a younger man to an older. It is as if all Wittgenstein’s moral force had been banked up over the winter and was now loosed irresistibly on Moore.
