Farnsworth's voice, then, mystified and awed, I crept down the ladder and stole away. "It's Dick Searles's play," I kept whispering to myself. It was the "Lady Larkspur" that he was holding back until he could find the girl who had so enchanted him in London and for whom he had written this very comedy with its setting in the Virginia hills.
"I wonder if I've passed Vienna in the night," he thought. "It ought not to have taken me more than a few hours to reach there from Paris." Vienna was at that moment fifteen hundred miles behind him; but Rob's geography had always been his stumbling block at school, and he had not learned to gage the speed of the traveling machine; so he was completely mystified as to his whereabouts.
At any rate, the first thing to do is to see what happened down there in the Pit. Maybe we'll have some other idea after that." "I know what happened there," announced Drake, surprisingly. "It was a short circuit!" We gaped at him, mystified. "Burned out!" said Drake. "Every damned one of them burned out. What were they, after all? A lot of living dynamos. Dynamotors rather.
How could I help it, with such pictures to look at?" "If you admire the scenery so much at first, what will your sensations be when you have grown intimate with its beauty? Nature enters into our humanity like human acquaintances." "What do you mean?" I asked, much mystified.
If he were going to die then the disgrace would be wiped away and need never be spoken about. So he answered slowly: "There is something which troubles her now and then. It will pass presently. Take no notice of it." So Lady Ethelrida, as mystified as ever, turned the conversation. "May I give you the book to-morrow morning before we go to shoot?" the financier asked after a moment.
It's known that when the German mind attempts to explain things it doesn't always reduce them to simplicity, and Pandora was first mystified, then amused, by some of the Count's revelations. At last I think she was a little frightened, for she remarked irrelevantly, with some decision, that luncheon would be ready and that they ought to join Mrs. Steuben.
I prompted. "Something we detectives might use to take down and 'can' telephone and other conversations. When it is attached properly to a telephone, it records everything that is said over the wire." "How does it work?" I asked, much mystified. "Well, it is based on an entirely new principle, in every way different from the phonograph," he explained.
Did those above feel the shock! Did not the tottering walls warn them to pray, because the roof was falling in on them? But they were laughing at the mystified child, who worked so diligently at her wedding-dress. The newly ennobled Herr von Levetinczy was already, not only in Hungary but in Vienna, a famous person. He was said to be a "golden man."
On this she went rapidly downstairs, and Baron, to whom the answer appeared inadequate and the proposition indeed in that form grossly unfair, returned to his room. The vivacity of her interest in a question in which she had discoverably nothing at stake mystified, amused and, in addition, irresistibly charmed him. She was delicate, imaginative, inflammable, quick to feel, quick to act.
The people now came fast and furious through the square, increasing in numbers every moment, but through the bustle and hurry and clatter of tongues, we could hear a woman's voice screaming in evident distress. Mingled with it was another sound which may have mystified the general crowd, but which De Kock and I could easily place. "It is the parrot!" I exclaimed, as we started to run.
