If you go into the world aimless, without a definite object, dreaming dreaming, you will be definitely defeated, bamboozled, knocked this way and that. In the end you will stand with your beautiful life all spent, and nothing to show. They talk of genius it is nothing but this, that a man knows what he can do best, and does it, and nothing else.
He is intending to have an heir of his own." "That I believe is his purpose," said Harry. "There is no reason why he shouldn't; but he mayn't, you know." "He is not married yet."

"The poor gentleman has been awfully bamboozled."
The unhappy Baphomet, dismayed by these extreme proceedings, vanished entirely, and, no expense being spared through the whole of the costly tableaux, Lucifer manifested on a throne of diamonds, but whether the gems were furnished from the treasury of Avernus or from the pockets of bamboozled Freemasons through the wide world, les renseignements do not state.
The Judge glanced through the parchment. "'Sblood! Do they think a man like me is to be bamboozled by their buffoonery?"

It was in the eyes and it was in the mouth, it was in every line of the face and every fact of the attitude, in the indentation of the chin, in the way the hair was planted, the moustache was twisted, the smile came and went, the breath rose and fell. It was in the way he looked out at a bamboozled world in short the way he would look out for ever.

"Found whom?" she asked sharply, irritated by the voice which offered such a rasping contrast to the one still echoing in her ears. "Found whom? As if you didn't know! I mean the man of d-d-destiny! He is a snake charmer, Pepeeta! He just fairly b-b-bamboozled you! I was laughing in my sleeve and saying to myself, 'He's bamboozled Pepeeta; but he can't b-b-bamboozle me! When he up and did it!
"Lor' bless ye, no, sir," answered Reynolds, cheerfully. "Why should they? They don't dream as you've any idee of the real state of affairs at least not up to now.
