This last fact shows that there could have been no intention of using the speech in the British interest. The statement of General George Rogers Clark. He says: "Logan's speech to Dunmore now came forward as related by Mr.
The breach of international custom was not denied; the only attempt at palliation was drawn from the reflection that it was due neither to motiveless treachery nor to greed; a position like Capsa, it was urged, difficult of approach, open to the enemy, the home of a race notorious for its mobile cunning-could be held neither by leniency nor by fear.
Lord Glenfallen soon recovered his self-command; he returned to the table, again sat down and said: 'What you have told me has so astonished me, has unfolded such a tissue of motiveless guilt, and in a quarter from which I had so little reason to look for ingratitude or treachery, that your announcement almost deprived me of speech; the person in question, however, has one excuse, her mind is, as I told you before, unsettled.
"I know you are, my darling, and that's why I raised the ghost. What is it troubles you?" "My own guilt. I never knew what remorse meant before, but your Christian ethics have mastered me this time. I had no right to extract that promise from Val." "No. Why did you? It seems so motiveless." "Because it amused me to get a man into my power." Isabel felt him shuddering.

It was quite accidental, I do assure you; as much so, perhaps, as it was motiveless."
To put the thing in technical language, the curious inversion of Plattner's right and left sides is proof that he has moved out of our space into what is called the Fourth Dimension, and that he has returned again to our world. Unless we choose to consider ourselves the victims of an elaborate and motiveless fabrication, we are almost bound to believe that this has occurred.
