But Garth, noting the phenomenon, interpreted it otherwise. "You find my riddle unanswerable?" he questioned almost tenderly: and was met by a lightning-flash of denial. "No. By no means! The answer is simple enough. Unhappily you cannot wipe out the fact. But you can avoid expressing it: and you must, unless you are prepared to lose everything." "By Jove, no!
The unanswerable reasonings of Butler never reached the ear of the gray-haired pious peasant, but he needs not their powerful aid to establish his sure and certain hope of a blessed immortality. It is no induction of logic that has transfixed the heart of the victim of deep remorse, when he withers beneath an influence unseen by human eye, and shrinks from the anticipation of a reckoning to come.
From knowing things to knowledge of other things he would go even until he held in his grip the last link until he held the key to the riddle until he knew the answer to the sum of Life. And facts cold, uncompromising, all powerful, unanswerable facts should give him this mastering knowledge of Life. For him there should be no sentiment to deceive, no illusion to beguile, no fancy to lead astray.
It is in the interests of science. What would you say if the dogs or frogs refused to lend themselves to the experiments of vivisection?" It is probable that if the frogs and dogs were consulted, they would offer some objection; but Doctor Ox imagined that he had stated an unanswerable argument, for he heaved a great sigh of satisfaction.
It was the first argument for separation; the first assault upon the British form of government; the first blow for a republic, and it aroused our fathers like a trumpet's blast.

"Well?" asked Gentz, with glowing cheeks and flashing eyes, when he had ceased reading, "what do you think of my exposition of the freedom of the press? Is it not clear, convincing, and unanswerable? Will not the king see that my words contain the truth, and hence follow them?" Gualtieri looked at his friend with an air of compassionate tenderness.

"Maryann, you go!" said she, fluttering under the onset of a crowd of romantic possibilities. "Oh ma'am see, here's a mess!" The argument was unanswerable after a glance at Maryann. "Liddy you must," said Bathsheba. Liddy held up her hands and arms, coated with dust from the rubbish they were sorting, and looked imploringly at her mistress. "There Mrs.

I should have thought you had learned self-reliance on Berande, instead of needing to lean upon the moral support of every whisky-guzzling worthless South Sea vagabond." He smiled, and said, "Yes, that is the worst of it. You are unanswerable. Yours is the logic of youth, and no man can answer that. The facts of life can, but they have no place in the logic of youth.
