The male god was represented by thelingam, which was the Aryan word for penis, Mom, you can see that on the pin, too. Murder? she asked. § 4. The discussion of Definitions, in so far as it does not turn on the use of words but on the properties of things, Dr. Whewell calls the Explication of Conceptions. The act of ascertaining, better than before, in what particulars any phenomena which are classed together agree, he calls in his technical phraseology, unfolding the general conception in virtue of which they are so classed. Making allowance for what appears to me the darkening and misleading tendency of this mode of expression, several of his remarks are so much to the purpose, that I shall take the liberty of transcribing them. Crandall was wearing about the loudest suit of pajamas I ever hope to see in this world. Purple and red. He looked like a big fat toad in them. He said to me:You should have stayed out of town, Connell. Youll do time for this. Oh sure. It was locked. Now suppose you had been one of the smugglers waiting on the boat. What wouldyou have thought? Rob felt Linda Carroll would hardly leave him to stand on the front porch, regardless of what she might be doing. She certainly would look through one of the windows to find out who was calling, and when she had learned the identity of her visitor, Rob was sure that he would be admitted. His ears heard a faint sound immediately on the other side of the heavy front door. He had the feeling that he was being carefully scrutinized. Yet nothing else happened. He stood there on the porch until the seconds ripened into a full two minutes. Angry, he rang the chimes twice in rapid succession. Ileft the station and stopped in the first bar on my route. It was called the RUSTIC and the decoration scheme wasnt too original. Pine logs with the bark on them covered the walls and the bar itself was a big tree cut in half and polished. Big sugar-pine cones were festooned all over the placewith deer heads and guns on the walls. The place even smelled piny and out-doorsy. The shrink you saw last week. Of Propositions Merely Verbal. Oh, sure, she is. Shes going to fly me to the North Sea. She put the shaker and glasses on a tray and tossed her head while she headed toward the front room. But when she got to the door she stopped and said:You might talk to Hazel and see what you can find out. Mrs. Wendel was sore about that business of last night and she was doing a lot of talking. Youre sure he threw the cowbellsoverboard? Rob asked. Whats this business about a Reno girl and her father? But that no such attempt can have the smallest chance of success, has been abundantly shown in the tenth chapter of the Third Book.[274]We there examined whether effects which depend on a complication of causes can be made the subject of a true induction by observation and experiment; and concluded, on the most convincing grounds, that they can not. Since, of all effects, none depend on so great a complication of causes as socialphenomena, we might leave our case to rest in safety on that previous showing. But a logical principle as yet so little familiar to the ordinary run of thinkers, requires to be insisted on more than once, in order to make the due impression; and the present being the case which of all others exemplifies it the most strongly, there will be advantage in re-stating the grounds of the general maxim, as applied to the specialties of the class of inquiries now under consideration. Dr. Dixon interrupted.I hope youll pardon me if I make another suggestion, Lieutenant. Rob Trenton has a car here. If it’s all the same with you, Miss Carroll might ride in with Trenton and they can go over the past events in the light of their present knowledge. I feel certain that if this is done each will help the other to recall some bit of evidence which may be significant. URR! URRRRRR! URRRRRRRRR! Yes. Ill admit that. I’ll have to. They all saw the gun. I said:Dont say it. I know. You mean you and Kirby can’t go ahead with me unless you’re sure you can make it stick. I don’t know that the murder ties in, but everything else has and maybethat does. I’ve got the rest of the frame figured but I’ll admit the murder doesn’t fit in. I may be wrong on what I think, I’ll admit it. But if I haven’t walked into as pretty a frame here as there ever was, I’m not the picture in it..
