Jack went, and when Acton put him into the easy-chair and noticed his white, fagged face, he felt genuinely sorry for him. "You look seedy, young 'un." "I hope I don't look as seedy as I feel, that's all." "What's the matter?" Jack boggled over what he'd come to say, but finally blurted out: "Acton, would you lend me seven pounds?
As we were about to rise, I said it would be as well to draw up the decree at once, and M. le Duc d'Orleans approved. Noailles pounced, like a bird of prey, upon paper and ink, and commenced writing. I bent down and read as he wrote. He stopped and boggled at the annulling of the ordonnance, and the prohibition against issuing one again without authorisation by edict or decree of council.

It is idiotic, childish a humiliating exhibition of the silliness of masculine human nature. Members of our station-party who had enlisted but a week back, and who knew nothing whatever of their work, would, in a whisper, mock the Bluebottles although every Bluebottle had taken first-aid classes and passed examinations at which most of the mockers would have boggled.
Emery had boggled suspiciously at this version of her statement, but finding, on the whole, that it represented fairly enough her idea, had given a qualified assent in the shape of silence and a turning of the subject. Lydia had not happened to hear that conversation, but she heard innumerable ones like it without Dr. Melton's footnotes.
"I don't say you came back to make trouble," Reardon went on, pursued now by the irritated certainty that he had adopted a course and had got to justify it. "But you're making it." "How am I making it?" "Why, you're making her damned uncomfortable." "Who?" Reardon had boggled over the name.
If it were not that others have passed through an identically similar experience, we should feel inclined to marvel at Bunyan's reluctance to cast into the balances the tail of the text: My grace is sufficient for thee! It seems strange, I say, that Bunyan should have grasped with such confidence the four words and then boggled at the other two.
Queed, my niece Miss Weyland." But over the odious phrase, "my business woman," her lips boggled and balked; not to save her life could she bring herself to damn her own niece with such an introduction. Noticing the omission and looking through the reasons for it as through window-glass, Sharlee smothered a laugh, and bowed. Mr. Queed bowed, but did not laugh or even smile.
He differed essentially from the Fenleys, greatly as the brothers themselves differed. Without conscious effort to please, he had qualities that appealed strongly to women, and Sylvia knew now that no consideration would induce her to marry either of her "cousins." If asked to put her thought into words, she would have boggled at the task, for intuition is not to be defined in set speech.
His understanding boggled at its very first notes. It was almost unheard of that a young man of his patient's strong and healthy constitution and temper should be hypnotised or mesmerised at all, much less hypnotised to the verge of dissolution; and it was unprecedented that even a weak, hysterical subject should, after being unhypnotised, remain so long in prostrate exhaustion.
