How much they got out of me, by means of the process of negations, I never knew; but they got no great matter through direct affirmatives. Something, however, persons so indefatigable, to whom gossiping was the great aim of life, must obtain, and they ascertained that Mr.
I thought you Well Where were you cast away? Is that thing a sort of floating thing for saving life?" I decided to take that line for the present. I made a few vague affirmatives. "I want help," I said hoarsely. "I want to get some stuff up the beach stuff I can't very well leave about."
But of neither of these conditions of the existence of his consciousness would the phenomena of that consciousness afford him the slightest hint. So that while it is the summit of human wisdom to learn the limit of our faculties, it may be wise to recollect that we have no more right to make denials, than to put forth affirmatives, about what lies beyond that limit.
Now and then he would move to the other side of the mountain, and look over upon Orta; or with the opera-glass clasped in one hand beneath an arm, he stopped in his sentinel-march, frowning reflectively at a word put to him, as if debating within upon all the bearings of it; but the only answer that came was a sharp assent, given after the manner of one who dealt conscientiously in definite affirmatives; and again the glass was in requisition.
That broke the waiting, the watchfulness, but not the tense eagerness. The bandits were now like leashed hounds. Blicky leaned before Kells and hit the table with his fist. "Boss, I've a kick comin'," he said. "Come on with it," replied the leader. "Ain't Gulden a-goin' to divide up thet big nugget?" "He is if he's square." A chorus of affirmatives from the bandits strengthened Kells's statement.
"One who is a little practised, can ascertain a fact as well by means of negatives as affirmatives. It only requires judgment and use." "Then Mrs. Bradfort's disease is only ascertained by the negative process?" "So I suppose but what does one want more," put in the husband; "and that she made her will last week, I feel quite sure, as it was generally spoken of among our friends."
You are the young English officers who have come to assist my father, I presume?" Courtenay and I bowed our affirmatives with all the grace we could muster. "Poor papa!" she continued. "Are you not amused at his having taken so much, so very much trouble just to work out and illustrate his pet theories?" "By no means," we hastened to assure her.
But it is only for God to recognise forms affirmatively, at the first glance of contemplation; men can only proceed first by negatives, and then to conclude with affirmatives, after every species of rejection. And though he himself appears to be profoundly absorbed with the nature of HEAT, at the moment in which he first produces these new scientific instruments, which he calls tables of review, and explains their 'facilities, he tells us plainly, that they are adapted to other subjects, and that those affirmations which are most essential to the welfare of man, will in due time come off from them, practical axioms on matters of universal and incessant practical concern, that will not want daily correction, that will not want revolutionary correction, to fit them to the exigency.
Mabie, as he appeared with his gun strapped across his back, as the easiest way of carrying it. A chorus of affirmatives greeted his question. "Then mount, and we'll be off. They've gone on ahead last night with the tents and foodstuff, so that we'll find things in pretty much shipshape when we get on the ground."
Duckworth, our newest curate, and tell him he's "the limit"; I may even take to abbreviating my affirmatives and negatives by saying "Yep" and "Nope" when I'm in a hurry; but if I do fall into these ways, I tremble to think what may be the effect on Mother.
