Extract a Pair of Premisses out of each of the following: and deduce the Conclusion, if there is one:--
92. "The Lion, as any one can tell you who has been chased by them as often as I have, is a very savage animal: and there are certain individuals among them, though I will not guarantee it as a general law, who do not drink coffee."
93. "It was most absurd of you to offer it! You might have known, if you had had any sense, that no old sailors ever like gruel!"
"But I thought, as he was an uncle of yours--"
"An uncle of mine, indeed! Stuff!"
"You may call it stuff, if you like. All I know is, MY uncles are all old men: and they like gruel like anything!"
"Well, then YOUR uncles are--"
94. "Do come away! I can't stand this squeezing any more. No crowded shops are comfortable, you know very well."
"Well, who expects to be comfortable, out shopping?"
"Why, I do, of course! And I'm sure there are some shops, further down the street, that are not crowded. So--"
95. "They say no doctors are metaphysical organists: and that lets me into a little fact about YOU, you know."
"Why, how do you make THAT out? You never heard me play the organ."
"No, doctor, but I've heard you talk about Browning's poetry: and that showed me that you're METAPHYSICAL, at any rate. So--"

Extract a Syllogism out of each of the following: and test its correctness:--
96. "Don't talk to me! I've known more rich merchants than you have: and I can tell you not ONE of them was ever an old miser since the world began!"
"And what has that got to do with old Mr. Brown?"
"Why, isn't he very rich?"
"Yes, of course he is. And what then?"
"Why, don't you see that it's absurd to call him a miserly merchant? Either he's not a merchant, or he's not a miser!"
97. "It IS so kind of you to enquire! I'm really feeling a great deal better to-day."
"And is it Nature, or Art, that is to have the credit of this happy change?"
"Art, I think. The Doctor has given me some of that patent medicine of his."
"Well, I'll never call him a humbug again. There's SOMEBODY, at any rate, that feels better after taking his medicine!"
98. "No, I don't like you one bit. And I'll go and play with my doll. DOLLS are never unkind."
"So you like a doll better than a cousin? Oh you little silly!"
"Of course I do! COUSINS are never kind--at least no cousins I've ever seen."
"Well, and what does THAT prove, I'd like to know! If you mean that cousins aren't dolls, who ever said they were?"
99. "What are you talking about geraniums for? You can't tell one flower from another, at this distance! I grant you they're all RED flowers: it doesn't need a telescope to know THAT."
"Well, some geraniums are red, aren't they?"
