Nature's plans were certainly, in the case of human beings, not constructed on that basis.

The thunderstorm had purified the air, and another one was not to be expected soon in this dry region. He had always been well here in sunny weather. Storms, which were especially harmful to him, never came at this season of the year.

We had difficulties in landing Oscar from his frail craft upon the ait of our feasting, he didn't balance sideways and was much alarmed, and afterwards, as Margaret had a pain in her back, I took him in my canoe, let him hide his shame with an ineffectual but not positively harmful paddle, and towed the other by means of the joined painters.

These were blissful days, marked in the past by white memories, in which we talked of future plans, the future so near, yet to our vision so remote, and purposed this and that, not considering that Heaven disposes all things.
He struggled to the end of his speech in exhaustion and let his head sink. "Oh, that's not it, that's not it," Sonia cried in distress. "How could one... no, that's not right, not right."
