How was it that Dr. John, if he had not been accessory to the dropping of that casket into the garden, should have known that it was dropped, and appeared so promptly on the spot to seek it? So strong was the wish to clear up this point that I began to entertain this daring suggestion: "Why may I not, in case I should ever have the opportunity, ask Dr. John himself to explain this coincidence?"
I am not suggesting that there is any real connection between your cable and this fact, but that you should mention it at this particular moment well, as I said, it's a coincidence." "Why?" Furley had risen to his feet. He threw open the door and listened for a moment in the passage. When he came back he was carrying some oilskins.
It is that the chances are almost infinite against the particular kind of variation required being coincident with each change of external conditions, to enable an animal to become modified by Natural Selection in harmony with such changed conditions; especially when we consider that, to have produced the almost infinite modifications of organic beings, this coincidence must have taken place an almost infinite number of times.
But I read, and think I understand, the words of the perfect Purity: "Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more." If people were both observant and memorious, they would cease, I fancy, to be astonished at coincidences. Rightly regarded, the universe is but one coincidence only where will has to be developed, there is need for human play, and room for that must be provided in its spaces.
He ambled away and possibly committed suicide in his anguish at having made such a bloomer leaving Ann discussing with me the extraordinary coincidence of my being Jimmy Crocker's double. Do you follow the story of my life so far?" Mr. Crocker, who had been listening with wrinkled brow and other signs of rapt attention, nodded. "I understand all that. But how did you come to get into this house?"
This result, which one would have thought so damaging to faith in the evidence from coincidence nay, quite fatal after the other case in which a close coincidence had appeared by merest accident is regarded by the pyramidalist as a perfect triumph for their faith.
"Why, the coincidence is not a bit more astonishing than several people in the same place having the same fever. Nothing in the world is so infectious as ghost-seeing. The oftener a ghost is seen, the oftener it will be seen. In this sort of thing particularly, one fool makes many. No, don't wait for me. Heaven only knows when I shall be released."
"Poor boy! Poor Claude! The letter speaks of his child. It says " She opened and read the letter. "He says: 'Some day my child will, I hope, come to you, and say: Cousin Clara, I am Iris Deseret." "Iris?" said Arnold. "It is her name, Arnold. It was the child's grandmother's name." "A strange coincidence," he said. "Pray go on." "'She will say: Cousin Clara, I am Iris Deseret.
But even where the buildings are good separately, the general effect is, unless by coincidence, a sad chaos. In the more progressive countries of Europe matters are not left thus to the caprice of individuals; in some German towns, and the so-called garden cities of England, we have excellent examples of scientific town planning, conducing to homogeneity, convenience, and beauty.
Austin's testimony as to those lethargies, which would be conclusive of itself our own disinterestedness, so fully proved by our devotion to her and Mabel, under difficulties her mother's mysterious malady all these things will make it easy to carry out this plan in which your cheerful coincidence, and perhaps Claude's even, will be essential."
