And Gabrielle, I could only surmise, was the girl I had seen stark and dead in that handsome room in Stretton Street. That night of watchfulness had borne fruit. I had learnt from De Gex's own lips that another deep and subtle trap was to be laid for me a trap baited with the tragic-faced girl herself.
She does not acquire an equal influence over the other sex, for she is evidently in love with herself. If this surmise be correct, it leads to a curious consideration.
If you will call to-morrow morning at eleven, I will tell you all I know." He seized my hand, exclaiming, "Tell me to-night, Agnes, and set my mind at ease." My head seemed on fire I groaned audibly. "I can tell you nothing of a certainty. It is all surmise, and my brain is distracted to-night. Give me till to-morrow." "I will, Agnes; I feel that I can confide in you." "Now go," I replied.
Then she asked me if the conductor could be bribed to stop." "Perhaps we can take it for granted she wanted to get away from somebody. Why did you surmise the man was Shillito?" "He came through the car afterwards, as if he tried to find the girl, and gave me a keen glance. When he came back I thought him angry and disappointed.
It was not originally the home of an anthropomorphic god, but of a divine animal. In the Diasia we find the old superhuman snake, who reappears so ubiquitously throughout Greece, the regular symbol of the underworld powers, especially the hero or dead ancestor. Why the snake was so chosen we can only surmise. He obviously lived underground: his home was among the Chthonioi, the Earth-People.
I was pretty sure that the routine of an introduction once well over, so as to give me access to the officials, they could be easily satisfied and made to help on the fraud, in place of being obstacles. The result proved my surmise correct, for such a lot of self-sufficient barnacles no institution in the world was ever burdened with.
"Gone with her, the sacket; he very likely put her up to this," the doctor muttered, and the surmise seemed justified when he heard that Grizel and Tommy had been seen passing the Fens. That they were running away had never struck those who saw them, and McQueen said nothing of his suspicions, but off he went in his gig on their track and ran them down within a mile of Tilliedrum.
His courtiers, ready to take the monarch's cue, would be equally credulous. From one to another the surmise would pass "John the Baptist is risen from the dead." Why, then, did that myth not spread, until it became universally accredited? Ah, there was no chance of such a thing, for the simple reason that there was the grave of John the Baptist to disprove it.
"It has been observed before; and it is but a fair surmise, that Providence, ever attentive to the wants of the meanest animals, has furnished such large tusks to the African elephant for the necessity which requires them. In Ceylon there is plenty of grass, and an abundant supply of water all the year round; and further, in Ceylon, the elephant has no enemy to defend himself against.
Is any translation of them into physical fact possible? To this question Brédikhine supplied, in 1879, a plausible answer. It was already a current surmise that multiple tails are composed of different kinds of matter, differently acted on by the sun.
