Mr. Parker exclaimed incredulously. "Certainly!" I replied. "I posted it to her early this morning." Mr. Parker's expression was one of blank bewilderment.

I am come in a kind of bewilderment, scarcely able to believe that what I have heard is true " The Contessa gazed at him calmly from the depths of her chair.
That girl, Becky, would stare in perfect bewilderment if she could know of some of the thoughts and emotions you doubtless attribute to her. She might even laugh at you for your pains."
