"We're too late!" "That theory's not necessarily correct," replied Copplestone. "Sir Cresswell's message may have been quite right. For all we know the folks on the Pike had confederates on shore. Go carefully, Gilling let's see if we can make out anything in the way of footprints."
"It's the quickest thing to do if my theory's correct," observed Byner, as they drove along, "Of course, it is all theory mere theory! But I've grounds for it. The place the time mere lonely situation that scrap iron lying about, which would be so useful in weighting a dead body! I tell you, I shall be surprised if we don't find Parrawhite at the bottom of that water!"
On the contrary, the deviations made from his theory were, in his opinion, the sole cause of the whole disaster, and with characteristically gleeful sarcasm he would remark, "There, I said the whole affair would go to the devil!" Pfuel was one of those theoreticians who so love their theory that they lose sight of the theory's object its practical application.
"'Now, are you sure you can bear the test? we heard Hollins ask, as we approached. "'Bear it? Why, to be sure! replied Shelldrake 'if I couldn't bear it, or if you couldn't, your theory's done for. Try! I can stand it as long as you can. "'Well, then, said Hollins, 'I think you are a very ordinary man.
Something 'fishy' there, if you like." "I should think so," replied Mr. Narkom. "Why, the chap would have died instantly. Then you think Borkins himself is guilty?" "On the contrary, I do not," returned Cleek, emphatically. "If my theory's correct, Borkins is not the murderer of Dacre Wynne. Much more likely to be Nigel Merriton, for that matter.
But as, in spite of theories, the progress of ideas is incessantly changing the external form of institutions in such a way as to render continually necessary exactly that which the legislator neither desires nor foresees, so that, for instance, questions of taxation become questions of distribution; those of public utility, questions of national labor and industrial organization; those of finance, operations of credit; and those of international law, questions of customs duties and markets, it stands as demonstrated that the prince, who, according to theory, should never interfere with things which nevertheless, without theory's foreknowledge, are daily and irresistibly becoming matters of government, is and can be henceforth, like Divinity from which he emanates, whatever may be said, only an hypothesis, a fiction.
"I allow he thought he found them; but that's a different thing." Agatha smiled. "Perhaps your theory's plausible, but it has some weak points." "Anyhow, if father couldn't locate the vein he claimed to have struck, I reckon there's not much chance of your doing so." "I mean to try," said Agatha, with ominous quietness.
"These forest men advise certain methods of obviating the danger," Bob suggested. "Pure theory," returned Welton. "The theory's a good one, too," he added. "That's where these college men are strong only it isn't practical. They mean well enough, but they haven't the knowledge. When you look at anything broad enough, it looks easy. That's what busts so many people in the lumber business."
"I was the one who deciphered them; but what did that girl do with those messages? Carter had a theory that she slipped them under a dachshund's collar." "That theory's just like Carter," laughed Frederic "regular detective stuff. I never heard of any dachshund's being used. The girl used to slip them into a letter box in her apartment-house hallway.
"For instance," she went on, "if my theory's right, then a child would never disobey his father unless he was convinced that the man was not really his father, you see. For instance, if he learned, very early, that his father never spanks him, that becomes one of the identifying marks of 'father. Fine. But the first time his father does spank him, doubt enters.
