Inquiries were made at the lodge, but the gatekeeper could swear that only a single carriage had passed through. Dr Congleton refused at first to believe that he could possibly have got out. “Our arrangements are perfect,—the thing’s absurd,” he said, peremptorily.
To a person who recognizes that every event depends on causes, a thing’s having happened once is a reason for expecting it to happen again, only because proving that there exists, or is liable to exist, a cause adequate to produce it.
"And God be with you," said his friend piously. "May he watch over you and bring you out safe and whole—teeth, eyes, etc." "Come on," said Clover impatiently; "don’t you know this thing’s getting up power and you’re wasting it talking." "Curious," laughed Burnett. "I never knew that it was gasolene that men were consuming when they kept an automobile waiting."
One of the things that must constantly be preached to the sisters is proper modesty and plainness of apparel. How often do we meet with those who once were plain who now dress almost as the world! Why is it that these thing’s are put on? Because there is a longing in the heart. They do not understand what this longing really is nor what will satisfy it.
It supposes that nothing can be a “sufficient reason” for a body’s moving in one particular direction, except some external force. But this is the very thing to be proved. Why not some internal force? Why not the law of the thing’s own nature?
It is not to do evil, says Edwards, because when God brings sin certainly and infallibly to pass, he does so “for wise and holy purposes.” This is his answer: “In order to a thing’s being morally evil, there must be one of these two things belonging to it: either it must be a thing unfit and unsuitable in its own nature, or it must have a bad tendency, or it must be done for an evil end.
But we can’t very well seek them out individually. The only way is to make their employment unpleasant to their employers. The thing’s becoming indecent. And dangerous too, for us, here.” Mr Vladimir stopped again for a moment. “What do you mean?” “The prosecution of this Verloc will demonstrate to the public both the danger and the indecency.”
For instance, this Verloc affair. Who thought of it now? Ossipon, as if suddenly compelled by some mysterious force, pulled a much-folded newspaper out of is pocket. The Professor raised his head at the rustle. “What’s that paper? Anything in it?” he asked. Ossipon started like a scared somnambulist. “Nothing. Nothing whatever. The thing’s ten days old. I forgot it in my pocket, I suppose.”
