"Now you won't run away back to London till you're obliged? Where's your luggage? At Pontyffynon?" "No," said David, a little non-plussed at evidences of his dissolute past and this unexpected fatherhood assumed on his account. "I haven't more luggage than what is contained in my bicycle bag. But don't let that concern you.
"What's the matter?" I asked, non-plussed. "Just a moment, Walter," he replied evasively, as if not quite sure of himself. He walked fairly close to the window this time, keeping well out of the direct line of it, however, and there stood gazing out into the street. A glint, as if of the sun shining on a pair of opera glasses could be seen from a window across the way.
Who made the butter, and took care of the hens, and dried the apples, and 'drew in' the rugs? Who raised and ground the peppers for sale, and tended the geese that you might sell the feathers? No, father, I don't consider that I'm in your debt!" DEACON FOXWELL BAXTER was completely non-plussed for the first time in his life.
"Waal, them that told me on't, said that two had fallen before it, and I put it up to nine at once, to make a good story better. Nine men had a more desperate sound than two; and when you do begin to brag, a man shouldn't be backward. I thought, howsever, that they was most non-plussed, when I told 'em of the field-piece." "The field-piece, Strides!
"Now d'ye think a man like 'im is gone to Heaven!" demanded Bainton- "Honest an' true, d'ye think the Lord Almighty wants 'im?" John was rather non-plussed. His garrulous gardener watched his face with attentive interest. "Don't ye answer unless ye like, Passon!" he observed, sagaciously "I don't want to make ye say things which ain't orthodox! You keep a still tongue, an' I shall understand!"
Inside was an officer fast asleep on the bunk, who, hearing the sound of heavy breathing, opened his eyes to see the shaggy bulk of his huge visitor interposed between him and the doorway. For a moment he was non-plussed, and, keeping quite still, endeavoured to mesmerise the animal by looking him full in the eyes.
We came very near expressing interest, sometimes even admiration it was very hard to keep from it. We succeeded though. Nobody else ever did, in the Vatican museums. The guide was bewildered non-plussed. He walked his legs off, nearly, hunting up extraordinary things, and exhausted all his ingenuity on us, but it was a failure; we never showed any interest in any thing.
"Dressed before you, after all, Miss Vernon," cried Mrs. Haughton, with latent malice. Even small Sir Tilton raised his eyebrows; for one moment Vaura was non-plussed; "underbred poor uncle," was her thought as she said quietly: "I have dined in salons at Brighton in this gown, Mrs. Haughton; I have listened to Patti robed as you see me." "How mean of step-momma," thought Blanche.
I had never seen the woman before, or any body like her, except a picture of the Queen of Sheba when she was on a visit to Solomon. Could this woman come from Sheba? Could she take me for no, no she couldn't possibly take me for Solomon. So I was quite non-plussed. "You no get no letter, Massa Sib, to tell you we was to come eh?" A letter? a letter?
The little hand was burning hot; yes, it was fever. There had been scurvy and dysentery, but she was a little non-plussed by the fever. And the Sieur would not be here until to-morrow; the doctor, no one knew when. She took out her chest of simples, a quaintly-made birchen-bark receptacle. They had been carefully labelled by the doctor. Yes, here was "fever" here another.
