Take the following as truth: I do wish I knew what it was all about." I thought of Mrs. Raikes's gipsy face, and Evelyn Howard's warnings, but wisely decided to hold my peace, whilst Cynthia exhausted every possible hypothesis, and cheerfully hoped, "Aunt Emily will send him away, and will never speak to him again." I was anxious to get hold of John, but he was nowhere to be seen. 
Then the following statement: "I wanted to talk to John, but he had run away days ago." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
