Sure, she said. Okay. therefore Well, I dont know what his credentials are, actually. Now, I dont know what this is all about, but I don’t like the way you come in here and tell your story. Apparently someone’s been impersonating me and I want to know all about it. Why are you so anxious to see this woman? What’s it all about? What makes you in such a rush? On this question I am happy to have the full concurrence of Mr. Herbert Spencer, from whose paper in theFortnightly Review I extract the following passage. The germ of an idea identical with that of Mr. Spencer may be found in the present chapter, on a preceding page; but in Mr. Spencer it is not an undeveloped thought, but a philosophical theory. The 76th regimentis a collective name, but not a general one: a regiment is both a collective and a general name. General with respect to all individual regiments, of each of which separately it can be affirmed: collective with respect to the individual soldiers of whom any regimentis composed. The short man said eagerly:Do you want a job? Im looking for a piano player. To start tonight. The potatoes were every bit as creamy and as smooth as my mother might have hoped. They streamed over my forehead and into my eyes and down my cheeks and mouth and dripped from my chin. I began crying again, the way I had after my father left.And Ive had enough of that goddamncrying!my mother shouted.“Go to your room! My sister started crying, too. “And you, too, you little pisspants! my mother shouted. 69 elastic spooky glue 264 My mother called Mr. Schneider, the contractor who had renovated the stables when we first bought the house. A portly little man with a heavy German accent, he kept telling my mother she should keep up with house repairs, that it was azad ting (I can’t do accents) to see a fine old house “like zis one fall into neglect. She always pooh-poohed his concern. I don’t think she’d even have had the glass panel replaced if its absence wasn’t letting in bugs at night. Mr. Schneider came over with a glazier the nextday, and stood with his hands on his hips, watching the man as he replaced the glass panel, clucking his tongue every now and then, perhaps thinking something like this would never have happened in his native Germany. § 1. Looking back now to the commencement of our inquiry, let us attempt to measure how far it has advanced. Logic, we found, is the Theory of Proof. But proof supposes something provable, which must be a Proposition or Assertion; since nothing but a Proposition can be an object of belief, or therefore of proof. A Proposition is, discourse which affirms or denies something of some other thing. This is one step: there must, it seems, be two things concerned in every act of belief. But what are these Things? They can be no other than those signified by the two names, which being joined together by a copula constitute the Proposition. If, therefore, we knew what all names signify, we should know every thing which, in the existing state of human knowledge, is capable either of being made a subject of affirmation or denial, or of being itself affirmed or denied of a subject. We have accordingly, in the preceding chapter, reviewed the various kinds of Names, in order to ascertain what is signified by each of them. And we have now carried this survey far enough to be able to take an account of its results, and to exhibit an enumeration of all kinds of Things which are capable of being made predicates, or of having any thing predicated of them: after which to determine the import of Predication, that is, of Propositions, can be no arduous task. Instantly the staircase lights came on. At the same time there was a fierce crackle of electricity. He held the handle down, grimly. And in the same moment he heard a terrible cry, followed by the echoing explosion of a gun discharging. Fair enough, Merton Ostrander told her, and started piloting the way up the trail. What letters? She didnt leave a letter, did she?.
