Will you marry me? I said. It isnt for me. Aaron is listening intently now. Presumably, Pearls tale will lead inexorably to The Urination Incident and thereal reason my sister got arrested. Across the room, one of the Ambrose girls begins giggling. I said I didnt. An intermediate case is that of a name usedanalogically or metaphorically; that is, a name which is predicated of two things, not univocally, or exactly in the same signification, but in significations somewhat similar, and which being derived one from the other, one of them may be considered the primary, and the other a secondary signification. As when we speak of a brilliant light and a brilliant achievement. The word is not applied in the same sense to the light and to the achievement; but having been applied to the light in its original sense, that of brightness to the eye, it is transferred to the achievement in a derivative signification, supposed to be somewhat like the primitive one. The word, however, is just as properly two names instead of one, in this case, as in that of the most perfect ambiguity. And one of the commonest forms of fallacious reasoning arising from ambiguity, is that of arguing from a metaphorical expression asif it were literal; that is, as if a word, when applied metaphorically, were the same name as when taken in its original sense: which will be seen more particularly in its place.

She laughed nervously, became silent. Introductory Remarks. In the instances cited the two propositions are kept visibly distinct, each subject having its separate predicate, and each predicate its separate subject. For brevity, however, and to avoid repetition, the propositions are often blended together: as in this,Peter and James preached at Jerusalem and in Galilee, which contains four propositions: Peter preached at Jerusalem, Peter preached in Galilee, James preached at Jerusalem, James preached in Galilee. Rob Trenton shifted his position uneasily in the stiff-backed prison chair, then said,Well, I fired the gun. Sven was a teenagecrush! Snails? Roy translated. ‘I don’t think so.’ I said:Now, wait a minute! and told him just exactly what had happened. That Id said hello and that was all. That I’d been with two friends, who’d tell him the same if he’d ask them. I said: “It’s like this. I’m here and minding my business. It’s your town and I know it. But I’m damned if I’m going to get railroaded out of it over a thing like this. There’s something screwy about this..
