Fiction is necessarily concrete and definite; it permits of no open alternatives; its aim of illusion prevents a proper amplitude of demonstration, and modern prophecy should be, one submits, a branch of speculation, and should follow with all decorum the scientific method.
Between these alternatives, she could make no decision, she could not, it would tear her in pieces to do it. The pendulum swung back again, and all this went out, leaving her mortally tired. Agnes came to the foot of the stairs, a little, withered, stricken old figure, her apron at her eyes.
The persons to whose interest it is prejudicial, learn that means exist of evading its authority; and similar suits are multiplied, until it becomes powerless. One of two alternatives must then be resorted to: the people must alter the constitution, or the legislature must repeal the law.
Then followed a few days in the great French Adrian Huts, each holding a Company, in a camp by the edge of the Somme Canal a few hundred yards further east. The month of February passed uneventfully, though unpleasantly, in alternatives between the trenches west of Peronne and Cappy.
Once His Excellency Yuan Shih-kai stated in a memorial to the throne that there were only two alternatives: to give the people a constitutional government or to have them revolt.

Enough that they place the letter and the code in the hands of the authorities, by some anonymous means.
She said nothing for a little there were, after all, alternatives. "Maggie herself of course astonishing little Maggie." "Is Maggie then astonishing too?" and he gloomed out of his window. His wife, on her side now, as they rolled, projected the same look. "I'm not sure that I don't begin to see more in her than dear little person as I've always thought I ever supposed there was.
God only knows what madness was in each individual heart of that concourse of poor wretches, styled "the mob," when every man took up arms, certain that there were before him but two alternatives, starving or hanging. The riot here was scarcely universal. Norton Bury was not a large place, and had always abundance of small-pox and fevers to keep the poor down numerically.
She interrupted her journey to pay a visit to her son, who at San Remo, on the Italian shore of the Mediterranean, had been spending a dull, bright winter beneath a slow-moving white umbrella. Isabel went with her aunt as a matter of course, though Mrs. Touchett, with homely, customary logic, had laid before her a pair of alternatives.
