'It astounds me also, said the countess reproachfully, 'that in my time of trouble and affliction, you, whom I have enriched and favoured beyond all my handmaidens, should desert me. If I did not love thee, I should order thee to be executed. 'It was for thy advantage that I was absent, said Elined. 'I reproached not thy grief when thy lord lay dying, but now you have yourself to think of.
"Such astuteness," she answered, smiling at him, "astounds me." He laughed nervously. "You're different than you've ever been since I've known you," he went on, undismayed. "I hope you won't think I'm making love to you. Not that I shouldn't like to, but I've got sense enough to see it's no use." Her reply was unexpected. "What makes you think that?" she asked curiously.
"However, I will admit that Gévingey astounds me when he asserts that he was visited by a succubus. His good faith is not to be doubted, for I know him to be a man who means what he says, though he is vain and doctorial. I know, too, that at La Salpêtrière such occurrences are not rare.
"Never mind about your Cousin George, Jeeves." "Very good, sir." "Keep him for the long winter evenings, what?" "Just as you wish, sir." "And, anyway, I bet your Cousin George wasn't a shrinking, non-goose-bo-ing jellyfish like Gussie.

Somebody must have entered the room last night while we were here. Is it possible? For, after all, we should have heard. That's what astounds me." "It certainly looks like it." "Just so. It was a queer enough job a fortnight ago.
Of course; but what astounds me is that a man of your standing should believe the French are coming here now to Ireland. No, no, Boyne; I'm not taking your word for any of these things. You're a gossip; you're a damned, pertinacious, preposterous gossip, and I'll say it as often as you like." "So it's proof you want, is it? Well, then, here it is."
"We are God ourselves, and everything that surrounds us. It is life with its astonishing transformations, always apparently dying, yet always being infinitely renewed. It is this immensity that astounds us with its greatness, and that cannot be realised in our minds. It is matter that lives, animated by the force that dwells in it, with absolute unity, without separation or duality.
I usually slumber through the noise except when Ambar, a half-caste Somal, returning from a trip to Harar, astounds us with his contes bleus, or wild Abtidon howls forth some lay like this: I. "'Tis joyesse all in Eesa's home! The fatted oxen bleed, And slave girls range the pails of milk, And strain the golden mead. II. "'Tis joyesse all in Eesa's home!
