Our road, the merest bridle-path, which sometimes altogether disappeared and had to be retrieved by guesswork, meandered on the side of a ravine, down in the depths of which, in groves of oleander, there flowed a stream of which we caught the murmur. The forest was continuous on our side of the wadi.
The ship is in a powerful tidal current, and it is high-water at 5.30 A.M. At a rough estimate, Hanover Island is twenty knots distant. Now you know all. The outcome is mere guesswork." "Why did the furnaces blow up?" "I was cross-examining Joey on that point when you came in. He reserved his opinion.
He was a deaf old man, whose conversation was carried on principally by guesswork, and it was easy for him to gather that when her ladyship's handsome young sister had given him greeting she had not forgotten to inquire respecting the "rheumatics," which formed the greater part of existence. "Mornin', miss mornin'," he answered in the high, cracked voice of rural ancientry.
The Planchette would be the most convenient form. For obviously the modus operandi of the Planchette is exactly the same as the table's. The medium's Sub-Consciousness arrives at an answer by guesswork, reminiscence, etc., and produces the muscular movements of writing without first passing the message through the writer's Consciousness.

Here is a case where metaphysics has no bearing. It is a condition that confronts them, not a theory.
If this man was to be allowed to advise the habitants of Chaudiere on their disputes and "going to law," where would his own prestige be? His vanity had been deeply wounded. "It's guesswork with him. Let him stick to his trade as I stick to mine. That sort of thing only does harm." "He puts a thousand dollars into the saddler's pocket: that's a positive good.
"Suspected persons only." "Exactly who are they?" "First and foremost, Mr. Jocelyn Thew." "And afterwards?" Crawshay hesitated. "Mr. Phillips and his entourage."
