Now. My regards to our friend, and please give us a moment. (Pause.) Now as to your picture of your sister, a period approximately six months distant and the probability of a bathroom tumble, that can be averted if no small rugs are used on the floor. This includes rubber-backed rugs.

I believe the purchase of a new rug for the room would be involved, and she would slip upon it. Now this probability can be averted in the ways given. Leave the floor there uncluttered. There seems to be a possibility that I do not understand, where for one reason or another newspapers might be laid upon the floor, in that room. Perhaps beneath dripping clothes.

This should also be avoided. (Pause, gesture to Pete.) In this way, you switch from one set of probabilities to another, and in this case to your advantage.

Now. There are times when all probabilities point in one direction, and I believe there is a mathematical theorem, a theoretical one, that defines such occurrences. In which case, the future is indeed locked.

This is not the case as far as your sister in concerned. Therefore changes in the probabilities alter that particular future, and the change that I suggested completely wipes out the prior, probable accident. Do you see? (Facing Pete.)

If the meeting takes place, and it is a probability, then he will be instrumental in arranging such a trip. The meeting, if it takes place, will occur between the first and fifth days of October or November. The man will have a connection with two children.

The affair is highly personal. The events may or may not occur, and I do not want to add to their probability, you see, by any statement.

Any chance whatsoever covers much territory, young man. At one time many probabilities pointed in that direction. At this time less than half of those chances remain, and even in your terms the odds are very much against it. (Pause.)
