9 Let us, then, try to set out the syllogism on the hypothesis that the name serpent includes imaginary serpents. We shall find that it is now necessary to alter the predicates; for it can not be asserted that an imaginary creature breathes flame; in predicating of it such a fact, we assert by the most positive implication that it is real, and not imaginary. The conclusion must run thus,Some serpent or serpents either do or are imagined to breathe flame. And to prove this conclusion by the instance of dragons, the premises must be, A dragon is imagined as breathing flame. A dragon is a (real or imaginary) serpent: from which it undoubtedly follows, that there are serpents which are imagined to breathe flame; but the major premise is not a definition, nor part of a definition; which is all that I am concerned to prove. It suddenly occurs to me that perhaps Annieherselfis a secret agent! The letter was from the Gahagan, back in the office. The first of it was a report on some routine work Id done about checking on a bird that started bad store accounts and skipped out of town. I hadn’t done much good on the thing, but had found that he’d come from Portland, Oregon, and tipped the police there to watch for him. They’d caught him, which meant we’d get a fee from the department store and no argument with it. Good news. Suppose someone should remember me at the pay station? Suppose... 259 He hung up and so did I. Theres darn little that goes on in a town of this size that the cops can’t find out about if they’re interested. My Spanish wonder apparently was known. She was the type, at that. To be known. And yet, when a coincidence can not be deduced from known laws, nor proved by experiment to be itself a case of causation, the frequency of its occurrence is the only evidence from which we can infer that it is the result of a law. Not, however, its absolute frequency. The question is not whether the coincidence occurs often or seldom, in the ordinary sense of those terms; but whether it occurs more often than chance will account for; more often than might rationally be expected if the coincidence were casual. We have to decide, therefore, what degree of frequency in a coincidence chance will account for; and to this there can be no general answer. We can only state the principle by which the answer must be determined; the answer itself will be different in every different case. Report you? To whom? I thought he was the owner of the... My mother still looks puzzled. Well thats fine now, Amos. I’m always glad to see a brother in the profession do well. But why do you show this to me? I said goodnight and went to bed. Between Spanish and the company waiting for me it had been a large evening and I was tired. The assertion, that any and every one of the conditions of a phenomenon may be and is, on some occasions and for some purposes, spoken of as the cause, has been disputed by an intelligent reviewer of this work in theProspective Review (the predecessor of the justly esteemed National Review), who maintains that we always apply the word cause rather to that element in the antecedents which exercises force, and which would tend at all times to produce the same or a similar effect to that which, under certain conditions, it would actually produce. And he says, that “every one would feel the expression, that the cause of a surprise was the sentinels being off his post, to be incorrect; but that the “allurement or force which drew him off his post, might be so called, because in doing so it removed a resisting power which would have prevented the surprise. I can not think that it would be wrong to say, that the event took place because the sentinel was absent, and yet right to say that it took place because he was bribed to be absent. Since the only direct effect of the bribe was his absence, the bribe could be called the remote cause of the surprise, only on the supposition that the absence was the proximate cause; nor does it seem to me that any one (who had not a theory to support) would use the one expressionand reject the other. My friend thinks the best thing to do would be to put her in a psychiatric hospital... Good. Cause Ill have youboth put away, Maggie said. Still on tiptoe, and fearful of a creaking floorboard giving him away, he moved along, feeling the wall to his left and then the first door— to Kaitlynns room. Then the door to Bruno’s room. He carried on, slowly, slowly, slowly. Silently. Until he felt the head of the stag. He edged around it and felt the banister post at the top of the staircase. Holding his breath, he began to descend into the pitch darkness. One slow, delicate step at a time. Until he reached the bottom..
