"A mystery that baffles the police of London. I have heard nothing of it. Tell us at once, pray do tell us at once." The American flushed uncomfortably, and picked, uneasily, at the table-cloth. "No one but the police has heard of it," he murmured, "and they only through me. It is a remarkable crime, to which, unfortunately, I am the only person who can bear witness.
They cross the railway line, and, going down from the embankment, walk towards the river. They walk not with any object, but just at random, and talk all the way. . . . Danilka asks questions, Terenty answers them. . . . Terenty answers all his questions, and there is no secret in Nature which baffles him. He knows everything.
"I shall keep you informed, also, from my end. That poison completely baffles me so far. You know, we might as well work together." "Assuredly," agreed Craig, as the coroner left. "That," he added to me, as the door closed, "was one word for me and two for himself. I can do the work; he wants to save his official face. He never will know what that poison was until I tell him."
We can see, however, what was the problem with which he was occupied, and it is not perhaps illegitimate to infer that he approached the question which still baffles speculation from the point of view that God's omnipotence, as we should call it, is limited by his goodness.

But this vital force; this something that stands apart from and is essentially different from all other kinds of force, is of a nature that baffles all our efforts to approach. The power to grasp it, or even to penetrate in the slightest degree its mysteries, is delegated to none.
"You are very good; yet I could expect no less from a sweetness of disposition which baffles all comparison: you will not think I am an encroacher, and that I take advantage of your goodness, should I once more remind you of the promise you vouchsafed me yesterday?" "No, indeed; on the contrary I shall be very happy to acquit myself in your Lordship's opinion."
"There's the makings of a fine man in him if we give him but a shove in the right direction. He baffles me to comprehend, and yet" this a little shamefacedly "and yet I've brought him to my evening prayers. I would like guidance on the laddie. With him it's a spoon made or a horn spoiled.
Gryce, as we halted at the corner to take a final look at the house and its environs.
