Ill go get him, I say, and leave the apartment at once. By what rule is any one to decide between one theory of this description and another? The theorists do not direct us to any external evidence; they appeal each to his own subjective feelings. One says, the succession C B appears to me more natural, conceivable, and credibleper se, than the succession A B; you are therefore mistaken in thinking that B depends upon A; I am certain, though I can give no other evidence of it, that C comes in between A and B, and is the real and only cause of B. The other answers, the successions C B and A B appear to me equally natural and conceivable, or the latter more so than the former: A is quite capable of producing B without any other intervention. A third agrees with the first in being unable to conceive that A can produce B, but finds the sequence D B still more natural than C B, or of nearer kin to the subject-matter, and prefers his D theory to the C theory. It is plain that there is no universal law operating here, except the law that each persons conceptions are governed and limited by his individual experiences and habits of thought. We are warranted in saying of all three, what each of them already believes of the other two, namely, that they exalt into an original law of the human intellect and of outward nature one particular sequence of phenomena, which appears to them more natural and more conceivable than other sequences, only because it is more familiar. And from this judgment I am unable to except the theory, that Volition is an Efficient Cause. Rob Trenton shook his head. He would cheerfully have stayed days, weeks, or months at any place. In the back of his mind he was serenely aware that, despite the barrier of mystery concerning Lindas personal background, their companionship was daily growing and maturing with time, just as fruit hanging on a tree sweetens and ripens. Footnotes These admirable properties of the symbolical language of mathematics have made so strong an impression on the minds of many thinkers, as to have led them to consider the symbolical language in question as the ideal type of philosophical language generally; to think that names in general, or (as they are fond of calling them) signs, are fitted for the purposes of thought in proportion as they can be made to approximate to the compactness, the entire unmeaningness, and the capability of being used as counters without a thought of what they represent, which are characteristic of thea and b, the x and y, of algebra. This notion has led to sanguine views of the acceleration of the progress of science by means which, I conceive, can not possibly conduce to that end, and forms part of that exaggerated estimate of the influence of signs, which has contributed in no small degree to prevent the real laws of our intellectual operations from being rightly understood. There was a big bald-headed man that I thought might well be her lawyer, Crandall. The function of Naming, and particularly of General Names, in Induction, may be recapitulated as follows. Every inductive inference which is good at all, is good for a whole class of cases; and, that the inference may have any better warrant of its correctness than the mere clinging together of two ideas, a process of experimentation and comparison is necessary; in which the whole class of cases must be brought to view, and some uniformity in the course of nature evolved and ascertained, since the existence of such a uniformity is required as a justification for drawing the inference in even a single case. This uniformity, therefore, may be ascertained once for all; and if, being ascertained, it can be remembered, it will serve as a formula for making, in particular cases, all such inferences as the previous experience will warrant. But we can only secure its being remembered, or give ourselves even a chance of carrying in our memory any considerable number of such uniformities, by registering them through the medium of permanent signs; which (being, from the nature of the case, signs not of an individual fact, but of a uniformity, that is, of an indefinite number of facts similar to one another) are general signs; universals; general names, and general propositions. With a sideward dip of her head, she indicates a drop leaf desk on the wall just inside the entrance door. Aaron and I start for it in the same moment, almost colliding. We back off, and then start for the desk again. I reach it first. There is a small key in the drop leaf front. I twist the key, hold it to pull open the flap. So firmly had Trenton become convinced the girl he knew as Linda Carroll had been using the passport of this woman he could hardly conceal his surprise. God, it was terrible. We both thought hed killed you. We freed the real Vicomte and Vicomtesse — such a sweet old couple. They’re in a terrible state of shock. They tried to phone an ambulance and the police, but it turned out the phone line had been cut and the internet router smashed. Their car wouldn’t start and Jack’s and yours had been moved to a stable block and disabled.’ (In the story later based on our meeting, a black guy sitting behind us says,For Petes sake, marry him, lady. This did not happen. And the story never sold. It was called “Bus Ride. I think maybe the title was too close to “Bus Stop.) I went out the side way and eased over toward the Rustic. I went damned carefully, too. I cant see it, I argued. I don’t blame you for passing the buck back to New York but I can’t see it. It’s a local mess, I think. Go away or I phone a cop. sammy twink The years have been kind to Mr. Alvarez. I dont know. It’s already nine, fiveafter nine, in fact, I said, looking at my watch again. Colonel Stepney stroked his jaw thoughtfully.Makes it look pretty bad for that Trenton chap. E, ex, extra, extraneus, étranger, stranger..
