It is not nice to be watched when baffled and heated in bafflement but the only gaze to which attention was given by the conductor was the gaze of Miss Prescott.

He was just talking in a tone of sheer, hopeless, extremely interested puzzlement bafflement amazement; just as a man might talk to you of some absolutely baffling conjuring trick he'd seen.
