As there was no other opening for me, I immediately started for Springfield, where I met the young horse-trainer, Prof. De Voe, with whom I at once proceeded to form a co-partnership. He was a conundrum to me, from the very outset. A short, thick-set young man, not over eighteen years of age, with bushy, black hair, and dark eyes, a large Roman nose, and extremely small hands and feet.
What should I say, 'Hello, Freddie! for?" The conundrum was unanswerable. Baxter did not attempt to answer it. But there remained at the back of his mind a quaint idea that he had caught sight, as he woke, of the Honorable Frederick Threepwood, his face warningly contorted, vanishing through the doorway. Yet what could the Honorable Freddie be doing at the Emsworth Arms?
"Whoever made it up will have to explain it," Amy declared for the tenth time. "It's Peggy, of course, for she hasn't helped in the guessing. Now, my conundrum " "Wait," cried Priscilla, sitting up suddenly, "I know. First in war " "To be sure W is first in war, and P first in peace.
You yourself wouldn't hear of Joe, you very well know. Am I to call my own son-in-law 'Mister? I believe not, unless the time has arrived when I am to be trampled upon by my relations. Then, what am I to call him?" There being no answer to this conundrum, Mrs. Gradgrind retired to bed.
On the 7th Leary laid before Fritze the following conundrum: "As the natives of Mulinuu appear to be under the protection of the Imperial German naval guard belonging to the vessel under your command, I have the honour to request you to inform me whether or not they are under such protection?
Here was a conundrum. The Desert Rat had followed a fresh trail and found stale bones.
"I mean that she DID believe me: too thoroughly." "Well, then in God's name, what did she want?" "Something more those were the words she used." "Something more? Between between you and me? Is it a conundrum?" He laughed awkwardly. "Girls are not what they were in my day; they are no longer forbidden to contemplate the relation of the sexes." "So it seems!" he commented.
Marchmont, though inwardly afraid of this squire of dames; and of his intellect, determined to appear at ease, and so talked on the one engrossing idea of her life; the last conundrum in fancy work, the last fashionable incongruity in the blending of colours.
The writer is not an angler, but he understands that there is an anxious pleasure in the suspense of playing a fish, as in any important contest involving skill. To say that there was any remarkable merit in the movements of the Spanish Admiral is as absurd as to attribute particular cleverness to a child who, with his hands behind his back, asks the old conundrum, "Right or left?"
"Petticoatism and plunder," was Artemus's reply and that comprehended his whole philosophy of Mormonism. As he remarked elsewhere: "Brigham Young is a man of great natural ability. If you ask me, How pious is he? I treat it as a conundrum, and give it up." To lecture in London, and at the Egyptian Hall, had long been a favourite idea of Artemus Ward.
