premise: The scheme he had devised before had been of no use , and now good counsel was scarce .<br>` Oh , no ' said the steward , ` there are good enough ways yet .<br>The squire can send him this evening to fish in Devilmoss Lake : he will never escape alive from there , for no one can go there by night for Old Eric . '<br>That was a grand idea , both the squire and his wife thought , and so he limped out again to Hans , and said that he would punish his men for having tried to make a fool of him .<br>Meanwhile , Hans could do a little job where he would be free from these rascals .
hypothesis: He will succeed in this new scheme
reason: This statement fits into the neither category, because while the first scheme failed, we do not yet know how this new plan will work out. The system may have mistaken my mention of the "new scheme" with the previous failed scheme.
