"That you ain't a man?" "Yes." For a moment he considered her crimson face gloomily. "You and Sinclair was sort of pals, I guess," he said at length. Faintly she replied in the affirmative, and her secret was written as clearly as sunlight on her face. Yet she kept her eyes raised bravely. As for Arizona, the newborn hope died in him, and then flickered back to an evil life.
Flynn followed, saying, very neatly: "From over the sea, I thank you." The usual applause was of the heartiest.... But Cicily was still energetic. "Now, all in favor of the motion and of the amendment, please say ay," she requested. For the third time, she led the chorus, and the vote was unopposedly affirmative.
He said yes, and made the affirmative good by lifting her in his arms over the high railing. Once safely on the car, she bade him leave her. "Slip in quietly and they won't notice," she said. "I'll come presently." Calvert obeyed, and Virginia stood alone in the darkness.
And at heart she knew that if she were certain that the answer to the first question was in the affirmative, she could answer the second in a like manner.

The proper converse of an hypothetical proposition is this: If the consequent be false, the antecedent is false; but this, If the consequent be true, the antecedent is true, by no means holds good, but is an error corresponding to the simple conversion of a universal affirmative. Yet hardly any thing is more common than for people, in their private thoughts, to draw this inference.
"He wouldn't listen to me if I were to speak; do you think he would?" Wall dared not answer in the affirmative, and he added "But perhaps he would listen to the crew." "The crew!" answered Shandon, shrugging his shoulders; "you don't know the crew.
