But, as these exceptions do not appear to increase in number, it would surely be a very unphilosophical mode of arguing to infer, merely from the existence of an exception, that the exception would, in time, become the rule, and the rule the exception.
But let us just consult the facts, if you don't mind; before arguing about probabilities, let us look into things as they are. Here is the Mason-bee of the Sheds teaching us something very curious. To smash the lid of a cell that does not belong to her, to throw the egg out of doors and put her own in its place is a practice which she has followed since time began.
I can make or break any man in this country, and I'm telling you now don't you buy!" "I get you," answered Denver, and without arguing the point he rose up and went down the trail. When a man like Bible-Back Murray, the biggest man in the country a sheep-owner, a store-keeper, a political power goes out of his way to break up a trade there is something significant behind it.
Winston Churchill, and that I felt sure the First Lord of the Admiralty would not approve of my standing there arguing when I was threatened with influenza. He acted as though he had never heard of the First Lord. "At last he was called away. So I went into a deck cabin, and closed and bolted the door.
North Poling, as I call it, must be a man's natural bent; otherwise you kill the best that's in him." "Heaven on earth, will you look! A policeman is arguing with him." Hewitt shook with laughter. "But I bought him out," protested Fitzgerald. "There's no law to prevent me selling these." "Oh, I'm wise. We want no horse-play on this corner; no joyful college stunts," roughly.

Ossian has wrapt you in a cloud, a fog, a true Scotch mist. You have caught cold in the critical faculty, perhaps. At any rate, I can't see a bit more of your reasonableness than I can see of Fingal. Sic transit!
The mental monologue still went on, and the young philosopher of the modern school was arguing the favorite modern question of the nothingness of everything, and the folly of taking too much trouble to walk upon a road that went nowhere, or to compass a work that meant nothing. "I accept the dominion of that pale girl, with the statuesque features and the calm brown eyes," he thought.
Only Rose allowed that possibly there might have been some claim in justice on the woman's part; she could not frame her lips to use the words again. Without "legal wife" or any such terms passing between them, they were really arguing the point.

He gave it up. Was she wanting him to tell her where and when he and her future husband had met? The eagerness of her silence seemed to demand as much. But there are rules to every game.
