You should have heard how Rose thundered and lightened at him for his lying, and then sent him to the Doctor. I never saw him so terrific before." "You don't mean to say you were convinced it was wrong because Brooking was caught, and told lies do you? Non sequitur." "Stop not so fast." Very soon after Rose twigged Pietrie, who at once confessed, and was caned.

They reason in this wise: The States are to appoint the electors, and may therefore certify such as they please. But is not that a non sequitur? The States may appoint whom they please, in such manner as their Legislatures have directed, but an appointment and a certificate are different things. The latter is, at the very best, only evidence of the former.

From the impression made by a few wits, English people have jumped to the conclusion that as a people we are specially blessed with a sense of humour, a curious non sequitur which the restraint, consciously or unconsciously inculcated by the Gaelic League, is likely to make more apparent, for it is killing that conception of the Irishman as typically a boisterous buffoon with intervals of maudlin sentimentality which the stage and the popular song have so long been content to depict without protest from us, and which left Englishmen with feelings not more exalted than those of their sixteenth and seventeenth century ancestors, to whom "mere Irish" was a term of opprobrium.

Eadem sequitur tellure sepultos. I fear that arrangement, to be good, must be troublesome. Subjects are traversed by promiscuous assemblages of 'works; both by sizes; and all by languages.

The Convention was itself the living embodiment and product of the Revolution, and Bonaparte's smart feat in protecting it, increased its authority and confidence. If Carlyle's French Revolution be trusted as real history, it lands us in as futile a non sequitur as ever historian committed.

"Which was favourable, ma'am, I presume; for, if not fitted for the one, she naturally must have been fit for the other." "So I thought," replied the lady, to this polite non sequitur of the gentleman. "But Mr M is a very odd man, and if I must say it, not very polite.

Westray had thought this poetic insistence gave a touch of romance, and balanced the sentence; but to Anastasia it seemed the reiteration of a platitude. If he had known her a year, then she had known him a year, and to a female mind the sequitur was complete. "Have I read the message right, dearest? Is your heart my own?" Message? What message did he speak of?

After you have watched them a while, you realize that these ultra-new people have fallen victim to the oldest form of logical fallacy, the non sequitur, and likewise to the oldest form of slavery, which is self-indulgence.

Sicut in eodem capite dicitur crescite et multiplicamini. Tertio potest confirmari, quia actualis productio vegetabilium non tam ad opus creationis, quam ad opus propagationis pertinet, quod postea factum est. Et hanc sententiam sequitur Eucherius lib. 1, in Gen. cap. 11, et illi faveat Glossa, interli. Hugo. et Lyran. dum verbum germinet dicto modo exponunt.
