"Do you not think that matters have gone far enough, and that these poor devils should not be excited beyond measure?" "No, no!" cried the doctor; "no! I will go on to the end!" "As you will, master; the experiment, however, seems to me conclusive, and I think it time to " "To " "To close the valve." "You'd better!" cried Doctor Ox. "If you attempt it, I'll throttle you!"
"You seem to think it may be successfully argued 'that the moral and religious state of man really required a divine revelation. This argument, if I understand you, grows out of the ardent desires of man; which, it is admitted, would be pretty conclusive if it could be made to appear that the desires of man are never fruitless.
Until this time the distinction, which is merely technical, had been hardly perceptible to the courts of England and of this country, and was by no means settled law; but thereafter the points of difference were regarded as clearly defined; and both in England and in the courts of the United States, the case of Taylor vs. Rainbow has always been cited as conclusive of the question.
"You have been the means of bringing me to such happiness as I should never have reached without these happenings," he said. "What resentment can I bear you, O'Moy? Besides, I understand, and who understands can never do anything but forgive. I realise how sorely you have been tried. No evidence more conclusive that you were being wronged could have been placed before you."
But when ratified by the people in their respective conventions, then it had a voice, and spoke authentically. Every word in it had then received the sanction of the popular will, and was to be received as the expression of that will. What the Constitution says of itself, therefore, is as conclusive as what it says on any other point. Does it call itself a "compact"? Certainly not.
It is made generally in secret and ex parte, without hearing both sides, without oral testimony, without cross-examination. Of such evidence it may be safely affirmed, that it is never made final and conclusive without positive law to that express effect.
But I know perfectly well that the Wonder did not fall into the pond by accident. I should have known, even if that conclusive evidence with regard to his being pushed into the mud had never come to light. He may have stood by the ash-tree and looked into the water, but he would never have fallen.
Ted and Tom added their hopeful prophecy that she'd find a dandy bunch of girls there, and even Judith put in a word for Patricia's future abode by saying in her most conclusive fashion: "I suppose they'll be fearfully nice to you there, since they will all know that Madame Milano made you come there. You're always so very lucky, Miss Pat. Everybody makes things so easy for you."
Osborn's books, in connection with what the young men state, are conclusive, I think, on this point. He has not, then, accounted for himself; he has attempted it, and has failed. I pray you to remember, Gentlemen, that this is a case in which the prisoner would, more than any other, be rationally able to account for himself on the night of the murder, if he could do so.
And having given the desired evidence in lazy little intervals of speech, he took some Rhenish. "Well yes; nothing could be more conclusive, certainly," assented the Baronet, resignedly convinced. "It was the best thing that could happen under the unfortunate circumstances; so Lord Royallieu thinks, I suppose.
