Even if you were divorcing me? Thats right. Maybe you ought to talk to someone before you leave the country again. Well, its what she told us, isn’t it? The dog, up on all fours at the unexpected swing, was peering through the windshield. These facts are correctly indicated by the expressiontendency. All laws of causation, in consequence of their liability to be counteracted, require to be stated in words affirmative of tendencies only, and not of actual results. In those sciences of causation which have an accurate nomenclature, there are special words which signify a tendency to the particular effect with which the science is conversant; thus pressure, in mechanics, is synonymous with tendency to motion, and forces are not reasoned on as causing actual motion, but as exerting pressure. A similar improvement in terminology would be very salutary in many other branches of science. Annie? I said. 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. Well? Linda Mae asked. Wouldnt you have done the same thing in his place? Ah. Quia est in eo So sad, such lovely people, they will be missed — not! He was silent for a moment. Then he said, ‘Shit, I’m sorry, darling. This is all my bloody fault.’ window visit roll Youre a doctor? Trenton asked, shaking hands. The little car, which had done so bravely during the journey, developed a leak in the radiator while standing in front of the inn, and René Charteux agreed to have a mechanic come and repair the car, while Rob and Linda looked around and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. 227 It would be easy to add a greater number of examples of this fallacy, as well as of the others which I have attempted to characterize. But a more copious exemplification does not seem to be necessary; and the intelligent reader will have little difficulty in adding to the catalogue from his own reading and experience. We shall, therefore, here close our exposition of the general principles of logic, and proceed to the supplementary inquiry which is necessary to complete our design. Well, it was you who told them you were going to kill... window visit roll Never mind, she says. A remark of a similar nature may be applied to most of those distinctions among propositions which are said to have reference to theirmodality; as, difference of tense or time; the sun did rise, the sun is rising, the sun will rise. These differences, like that between affirmation and negation, might be glossed over by considering the incident of time as a mere modification of the predicate: thus, The sun is an object having risen, The sun is an object now rising, The sun is an object to rise hereafter. But the simplification would be merely verbal. Past, present, and future, do not constitute so many different kinds of rising; they are designations belonging to the event asserted, to the suns rising to-day. They affect, not the predicate, but the applicability of the predicate to the particular subject. That which we affirm to be past, present, or future, is not what the subject signifies, nor what the predicate signifies, but specifically and expressly what the predication signifies;what is expressed only by the proposition as such, and not by either or both of the terms. Therefore the circumstance of time is properly considered as attaching to the copula, which is the sign of predication, and not to the predicate. If the same can not be said of such modifications as these, Cæsar may be dead; Cæsar is perhaps dead; it is possible that Cæsar is dead; it is only because these fall altogether under another head, being properly assertions not of any thing relating to the fact itself, but of the state of our own mind in regard to it; namely, our absence of disbelief of it. Thus Cæsar may be dead means “I am not sure that Cæsar is alive..
