This is the reason that all premeditated enjoyments connected with the intellect, are apt to baffle expectations, and why academies, literary clubs, coteries and dinners are commonly dull.
He put his hand upon Barton's arm and gently pressed it. "Barton," he said, "tell me Janet Tawnleytown?" Barton stared with glassy, unseeing eyes for a moment; then his eyelids fell. "The bravest adventures the yellowest gold," he murmured. Then, so faintly as almost to baffle hearing: "Where all our dreams? Gone aglimmering. Gone." That was all. Impossible? No, just very, very improbable.
My sensibility on the subject of my writings is so great, that sometimes a chance word is sufficient to unman me, I apply it to them in a superstitious sense; for example, when you said some time ago that the dark hour was coming on, I applied it to my works it appeared to bode them evil fortune; you saw how I touched, it was to baffle the evil chance; but I do not confine myself to touching when the fear of the evil chance is upon me.
Meanwhile I sat above, in the closet he had vacated, and thence I watched him, with such mingling feelings in my heart as baffle now my halting pen.

Though the hideous tattooing could not hide the charms of her speaking countenance, it had so changed its expression, that even Wingrove himself would not have recognised her! More like was it to baffle the scrutiny of father and false husband. In due time we were all dressed for the drama; and, after making a cache of our cast-off garments, we struck tents, and moved forward to the performance.
That one was locked in the mind of the man who now seemed to baffle us as did his strong-box. I placed my hand on the cold, defiant surface. It would take hours to drill a safe like that, and even then it might turn the points of the drills. Explosives might sooner wreck the house and bring it down over the head of the man who attacked this monster.
There was no fever nor sign of any active disease only weakness, Nature's enforced quietude, that life and reason might be saved. THE police were at fault.

Careful as they were in their surveillance, she managed to keep them on the wrong track and to baffle every effort to discover what had been done with the child.
