They might be together all the day, but they grew closest of all at this good-night hour. They spoke of the squire's evident distress, but all Elizabeth's suppositions as to the cause fell distant from the truth.
Naturally, therefore, the officials of the department of the Aube considered they could have no better recommendation than to give proofs of their zeal in the matter of the abduction of the Comte de Gondreville. Napoleon's suppositions became certainties to these courtiers and also to the populace.
I mean that his having something to overcome before he can practise them, and yet always doing so, shows a fine moral fibre." Challoner looked grave. He had suspected what he thought were symptoms of weakness in his son, though Bertram had never given way to it. His companion's talk disturbed him because it seemed to prove the correctness of his suppositions, but he was shortly relieved of her.
And so on and so on. We set down the five known facts by themselves, on a piece of paper, and numbered it "page 1"; then on fifteen hundred other pieces of paper we set down the "conjectures," and "suppositions," and "maybes," and "perhapses," and "doubtlesses," and "rumors," and "guesses," and "probabilities," and "likelihoods," and "we are permitted to thinks," and "we are warranted in believings," and "might have beens," and "could have beens," and "must have beens," and "unquestionablys," and "without a shadow of doubts" and behold!

Lenore's heart contracted. She did not know how she felt. Somehow it was momentous news. "New York! What for?" she asked. "He says it's about wheat. But he can't fool me. He told me not to mention it to you." The girl was keen. She wanted to prepare Lenore, yet did not mean to confide her own suppositions. Lenore checked a rush of curiosity. They went into the house.
Besides, the well-known story of the Hive-bee should make us wary of rejecting paradoxical suppositions. Is it not by increasing the size of the cell, by modifying the quality and quantity of the food, that the population of a hive transforms a worker larva into a female or royal larva? It is true that the sex remains the same, since the workers are only incompletely developed females.
Suppose I had seen you talking somewhere with some man who seemed to interest you very much, and then to-day, let us say I heard that he had called upon you when you were alone. I turn with a savage face and accuse you of grossly deceiving me in the worst sense. What would your answer be? 'These are idle suppositions, she exclaimed scornfully. 'But the case is possible, you must admit.
As soon as her doctor allowed her to put her foot out-of-doors she hurried up to Green Gables, bursting with curiosity to see Matthew and Marilla's orphan, concerning whom all sorts of stories and suppositions had gone abroad in Avonlea.
