The general's wife shrugged her shoulders, sadly shook her head, and added: "He is so changeable! so changeable! But I think it is all the same. According to law, only the last will is valid?" "Yes, without doubt; the last." The general's wife bowed her head.
The reasoning is sound, however, only in so far as the similarity bears on the actual purpose in hand: in the first example, if the success of the railroad president arises from the power of understanding men and of philosophic insight into large problems, the reasoning will probably be valid; in the last example, if applied to insomnia due to overwork, it might be bad.
That takes one by storm, I confess Unhappy Maud Callowgas! But you see how frightfully on edge he is how he turns off for no valid reason, imagines himself a failure, imagines himself out of it?

This, Riehl observes, is a valid basis of economical classification, but not of social classification. In his view, the Fourth Estate is a stratum produced by the perpetual abrasion of the other great social groups; it is the sign and result of the decomposition which is commencing in the organic constitution of society.
Now I think it must be admitted that we have here a valid argument.
The implications for us of these remarks by an eminent physicist can be expressed as follows: In a science which knows how to deal with movement as an event of absolute dynamic reality, the Copernican aspect loses its significance as the only valid aspect of our cosmic system.
Lord Fawn, at Fawn Court, could not do wrong. That was a tenet by which she was obliged to hold fast. And yet Lucy had been subjected to great cruelty. She thought awhile for a valid argument. "My dear," she said, "your youth should make a difference." "Of course it should."
