paused briefly between playing with his doll's house, to write:

I refrained from pointing out just how large "mobile phones" were in
1907, and that was after ten years of development.


As I understand it, mobile phones actually had wheels back then...
Together with a huge drum of cable.


Wheels, yes; drum of cable, no: they would have been spark transmitters,
see the experiments of Maxwell and Hertz.
