"Better you ask Tetuanui 'bout them Arioi," she replied confusedly. The chief pleaded that he could not explain such a complicated matter in French, and if he did, M. Considine would not understand that language. But with the question raised, the conversation continued about infanticide and depopulation.
The sailors pricked their ears at it, as horses at the sound of a cracking whip, and confusedly stumbled up the ladders to their stations. The next moment all was silent but the wind, howling like a thousand devils in the cordage. "Stand by to reef all three top-sails! settle away the halyards! haul out so: make fast! aloft, top-men! and reef away!"
Meanwhile the Macedonian garrison stood under the wall of the citadel, formed into a compact body, neither confusedly attempting a retreat, nor obstinately engaging in a contest. These men Plator, after obtaining permission from Sulpicius, put on board ships and landed them at Demetrias in Phthiotis; he himself withdrew to Attalus.
If we look at it closely, we shall see that our habitual manner of speaking, which is fashioned after our habitual manner of thinking, leads us to actual logical dead-locks dead-locks to which we allow ourselves to be led without anxiety, because we feel confusedly that we can always get out of them if we like: all that we have to do, in fact, is to give up the cinematographical habits of our intellect.

Only a few noble families, especially in the islands, took the Catalan patronym. "Although they yet remember us confusedly, they do remember us," said Ferragut.
A cloud passed over the brow of the governor, but it was one that originated more in sorrow than in anger. Neither had he time to linger on the painful recollections hastily and confusedly called up by the allusion made to this formidable and mysterious being, for the attention of all was now absorbed by the approaching Indians.
"I read Talmud," I said, confusedly. "I see, but that's no business in America," he declared. "Any relatives here?" "Well, don't worry. You will be all right. If a fellow isn't lazy nor a fool he has no reason to be sorry he came to America. It'll be all right." "All right" he said in English, and I conjectured what it meant from the context.
Won't it be a pretty set of girls?" "Couldn't be prettier." "And now, who is to be your best man?" "Well, I thought I'd have Tom Ditton," a trifle confusedly. "Tom Ditton! I thought you did not approve of him," she cried. "You certainly did not when he came to see me so frequently." "Oh, he isn't such a bad sort, after all. I'd just as soon have him as any one. Besides, he's an expert at it.
Archer's face suddenly convulsed with happy sobs, the low benedictory murmur of the Rector's voice, the ordered evolutions of the eight pink bridesmaids and the eight black ushers: all these sights, sounds and sensations, so familiar in themselves, so unutterably strange and meaningless in his new relation to them, were confusedly mingled in his brain.
