" If we went up onto the roof now, " he said. " and I squeezed a drop of ink out of my fountain pen and let it blow against a sheet of paper, how great do you think the chance would be of the sentence I don't want Ada to stay with me  appearing in my handwriting? "

" That's impossible. "

" The chance isn't nil, but the universe is probably too small to contain all the ink needed before it happens. "
