La hora latina

Two cats appeared, and sat, like sentries, either side of the door. Their eyes seemed to glow yellow. Over the phone the trooper heard Moose Wallingtons voice addressing the central dispatcher. Car seven to Headquarters, special signal twenty-six to cars seventeen and nineteen. Helene? He shook his head.Weve got a sodding flat battery.’ Second-guessed, second-guessed. Why do you want to know how I was treated in that hospital, thatprison is what it was. They put me in a strait jacket, is how I was treated. They molested me while I was tied to the bed. They gave me a very mild dosage of a tranquilizer called Risperdal. After what happened to me, and the way I must have looked to them, all battered and bruised and bleeding— and remember, I told them Id kill myself, don’t forget that — I’m notsurprised they thought I needed a tranquilizer. Are you familiar with Risperdal? Well? Linda Mae asked. Wouldnt you have done the same thing in his place? See, Ostrander said easily, Theres nothing to it. We’re in another state. They don’t even have a State Police system here. All we’ll have to do is ring up the sheriff’s office. Now let’s not drive clean down to the landing, Rob, unless... Rob suddenly realized that, in tying Lobo up by a chain out in the vicinity of the kennels, Joe had tried to convey a message. I happen to believe this. The woman looked at her, puzzled. Anyway, I dont have to stay here. I’m cured already. I promise. Where are you, Annie? We have a witness who swears that he saw the first flickering flame coming up and thought at first it was a bonfire. Then as the flames became larger, the burning object drifted behind a hill and all he could see was the reflection of the flame in the sky. Will you tell me the circumstances under which you fired it, Trenton? Shean got himself a partner and five grand along with him. Shean will do anything for money and admits it. Oh, Rob said tonelessly, thats nice. Let us now add a second step to the argument: we require, what? Another assumption? No: the same assumption a second time; and so on to a third, and a fourth. I confess I do not see how, on Mr. Spencers own principles, the repetition of the assumption at all weakens the force of the argument. If it were necessary the second time to assume some other axiom, the argument would no doubt be weakened, since it would be necessary to its validity that both axioms should be true, and it might happen that one was true and not the other: making two chances of error instead of one. But since it is thesame axiom, if it is true once it is true every time; and if the argument, being of a hundred links, assumed the axiom a hundred times, these hundred assumptions would make but one chance of error among them all. It is satisfactory that we are not obliged to suppose the deductions of pure mathematics to be among the most uncertain of argumentative processes, which on Mr. Spencer’s theory they could hardly fail to be, since they are the longest. But the number of steps in an argument does not subtract from its reliableness, if no new premises, of an uncertain character, are taken up by the way.[93] She said:Dont bother. Chapter 2.
