«Nous connoissons peu encore ce que c'est que cette terre végétable, ce dépôt des pluies ou en général de l'air. Cependant, en rassemblant les phénomènes, on peut conjecturer, que la plupart des corps terrestres sont susceptibles d'être changés en cette substance, et qu'il ne s'agit pour cette transformation que de les décomposer.

But, in that same belief, who could say he might not be lying in ambush within close gunshot of the horse to which the conjecturer dared not now return? In those hills a man would sometimes lie whole days in ambush for a neighbor, and one need not be a coward to shudder at the chance of being assassinated by mistake. To wait on was safest, but it was very tedious.
"But perhaps," suggests some candid and youthful conjecturer, "perhaps Randal Leslie is in love with this fair creature?" Randal in love! no! He was too absorbed by harder passions for that blissful folly. Nor, if he could have fallen in love, was Violante the one to attract that sullen, secret heart; her instinctive nobleness, the very stateliness of her beauty, womanlike though it was, awed him.

Across the moon a mottled cloud floated with the slowness of a sleeping fish, a second, third, and fourth as slowly followed, the shadow of a dead tree crawled over a white stone and left it in the light; but the enigma remained an enigma still. It might be that the object of conjecture had fled in the belief that the conjecturer was none other than Widewood's master.
I did not tell him that I had been mingling with it in this manner for some time past or that I repudiated the suggestion of its benign influence. I entered the tram meekly. As soon as we were seated, he began: "I bet you won't guess what I've done with your thousand pounds. I'll give you a million guesses." As I am a poor conjecturer, I put on a blank expression and shook my head.
SERIOUS GENTLEMAN. "Plausible snare by which a population, at present grave and well-disposed, is decoyed into becoming " EXCITED ADMIRER. "A French poodle, sir, that plays at dominos like a " CREDULOUS CONJECTURER.
