"Oh, you have one for each day of the week?" "Yes, of course; why not?" Stuart stepped gingerly inside and inspected the suits she laid out on her bed. He turned them over and laughed. "What's wrong?" she asked. "They're all wrong. These things were made to hunt butterflies in the tropics, not ducks in Virginia." "Can't I wear either of them?" she asked in dismay.
Something of this I spoke aloud to Newman. There was no answer, and I became conscious he was not behind me. I wheeled about. Newman, with the lady's assistance, was hobbling up the ladder to the deck above. I swore my amazement and dismay at what seemed to me madness, but I hurried after them, and emerged on the poop at their heels. The night was banished by the strong light flaring forward.
"You did," murmured Banks in an undertone of grieved dismay. "I did, father," Arthur proceeded; "and if it hadn't been for young Mr. Frank, we'd have come to some sort of understanding.

And his dismay was supremely strange, his question, trying to make them believe in his ignorance, supremely unexpected. "Is Hippolyte dead?" He repeated the question in a hoarse voice, trembling all over as he spoke. "Is Hippolyte dead? What are you saying?
I gave point to the tale by squeezing an inflated toy in my pocket, with my arm, while my hands remained folded in front of me; and it was as good as a play to see the faces of these soldiers, as they sprang to their feet, staring round in dismay.
