of the Firstness in each case. But what
is the Secondness that is involved in it and
what is the Thirdness.

So the Secondnesses as they have been first given
are the Firstnesses of those Secondnesses. We
ask what Secondness they involve and what Thirdness.
And so we have endless questions, of
which I have only given you small scraps.

The answers to these questions do not come
of themselves. They require the most laborious study
the most careful and exact examination. The
system of questions does not save that trouble in
the least degree. It enormously increases it by
multiplying the questions that are suggested.
