They were already far on the sea before the Heros spread its sails. Leclerc's announcement of Toussaint's overthrow was as follows: "I intercepted letters which he had written to one Fontaine, who was his agent at Cap Francais. These afforded an unanswerable proof that he was engaged in a conspiracy, and that he was anxious to regain his former influence in the colony.
I should be deservedly reprimanded, and your proposal of restitution if you expressed it in writing would, without a moment's hesitation, be torn up. If you have any regard for me, drop the subject." Romayne refused to yield, even to this unanswerable appeal. "Very well," he said, "there is one document you can't tear up. You can't interfere with my making another will.
The States-General could not accept a prince without placing themselves under his absolute authority, and the Netherlanders would never subject themselves to their deadly enemy, whom they had long ago solemnly renounced. Surely these remarks of the Advocate should have seemed entirely unanswerable.
Yes, his property, gentlemen; that property which in a paroxysm of mania, he was going to throw away, as I shall show you by an unanswerable document. He comes here to slander us and mulet us out of five thousand pounds; but I shall show you he is already ten thousand pounds the richer for that act of ours, for which he debits us five thousand pounds instead of crediting us twice the sum.
Even as the wolf-man rose from his knees, still mumbling to himself in incoherent exultation, the great and unanswerable question pounded in Philip's brain: "Who was this girl, and what was she to Bram Johnson the crazed outlaw whom she feared and yet whom she did not wish him to harm?" And then he saw her staring at the things which Bram had sorted out on the floor. In her eyes was hunger.
Happily, however, the unanswerable arguments of the photographic camera were soon to be made available against such hardy incredulity. Thus, the virtual discovery of the solar appendages, both coronal and chromospheric, may be said to have been begun in 1842, and completed in 1851. The current Herschelian theory of the solar constitution remained, however, for the time, intact.
Three days later Jack Herring informed the Club casually that he had dined the night before with Mr. and Mrs. Loveredge. The Club gave Jack Herring politely to understand that they regarded him as a liar, and proceeded to demand particulars. "If I wasn't there," explained Jack Herring, with unanswerable logic, "how can I tell you anything about it?"
No reply was made to the pamphlet when first issued in 1698; and two or three years afterwards Defoe, exulting in the unanswerable logic of his position, reprinted it with a prefatory challenge to Mr. Howe, an eminent Dissenting minister.
I should think he must be a very nice little boy, shouldn't you?" "Little boy? why I guess he is about as big as you are, Fleda he is eleven years old, ain't he?" "Yes, but I am past eleven, you know, grandpa, and I am a little girl." This reasoning being unanswerable, Mr. Ringgan only bade the old mare trot on. It was a pleasant day in autumn.
Such unanswerable logic could only originate in the brain of a fatalist; these people are all fatalists, and as we can imagine especially so when the doctrine comes in handy to dodge doing anything for the public weal. All Persian villages, except those clustered about the immediate vicinity of a large city, have some peculiarity of their own to offer in the matter of the people's dress.
