You told me two or three weeks ago about the way you tricked Darby Meeker and sent him to Sierra City." And she smiled at the recollection of Darby Meeker's discomfiture. "Oh, yes," I said, with a laugh that sounded distressingly hollow to my ears. "That was a capital joke on Meeker." Here was a fine pack of predicaments loosed on my trail.
He related how he had worked up the lake, point by point, from Beaverton to Asquith, and lightened his narrative with snappy accounts of the different boatmen he had run across and of the different predicaments into which he had fallen. His sketches were so vivid that Mr. Cooke forgot to wink at me after a while and sat spellbound, while I marvelled at the imaginative faculty he displayed.
That little toddler, scarcely more than a baby, had wandered away on the open prairie. For one moment of warming relief I thought of Bobs. I remembered what a dog is sometimes able to do in such predicaments. But I also remembered that Bobs was still out on the trail with Whinnie.
By this means he saved himself from a great many awkward predicaments that persons who act on a contrary principle often get themselves into while travelling. Mr. George was not quite so particular. "It looks rather private," said Mr. George; "but if they do not wish us to go in, they must keep the door shut." So he pushed the great iron gate open, and walked in.
Vain attempts have been made to make a bridge from one of these incompatibles to the other by means of the conception of moral freedom; but it always breaks down again. What is free must also be original. If our will is free, our will is also the original element, and conversely. Pre-Kantian dogmatism tried to separate these two predicaments.
Matches, salt and camera plates were ruined by wetting, so I had to contrive a waterproof carrier for them. I hit upon a light rubber blanket, which added practically no pounds or bulk to my pack, and in it wrapped my perishables. It saved them more often than not, but even it could not protect them in some predicaments. There, was no month of the year I didn't camp out.
It is not difficult to imagine their agonizing condition, and piercing lamentations for the fate of one so dear to them. Logan discovered, on this occasion, the same keen sensibility to tenderness, and insensibility to danger, that characterized his friend Boone in similar predicaments.
"Of all the fool predicaments," he said, "this is the worst." The little man had now moved toward the door of the tent. "I go now," he said, "to make my report. Pleasant dreams to you." "Hold on a minute," shouted Hal. "No; I think I had better go. Good-bye, boys!" There was such a familiar ring to these words that Hal was struck with a great light.
In one of these predicaments the Landholder must stand, he is welcome to take his choice, in either case he only wants to be known to be despised. Now sir, let the Landholder come forward and give his name to the public. It is the only thing necessary to finish his character, and to convince the world that he is as dead to shame, as he is lost to truth and destitute of honour.
Without employing such fictions, however, 'the language of man could not have risen above the language of brutes'; and he emphatically distinguishes them from 'unreal' or 'fabulous entities. A 'fictitious entity' is not a 'nonentity. He includes among such entities all Aristotle's 'predicaments' except the first: 'substance. Quantity, quality, relation, time, place are all 'physical fictitious entities. This is apparently equivalent to saying that the only 'physical entities' are concrete things sticks, stones, bodies, and so forth the 'reality' of which he takes for granted in the ordinary common sense meaning.
