This thought came back to Rose several times that evening, for Phebe would have added much to the little concert they had in the moonlight, would have enjoyed the stories told, been quick at guessing the conundrums, and laughed with all her heart at the fun.
What means he, sure he has a Gad-bee in his Brain. Fran. Satan's she Advocate peace, I say; so, you look as innocently now, as a little Devil of two years old, I'll warrant; come, come, look me full in the face thus, turn your nose just to mine so now tell me whose damnable Plot this was, to send your Gallant with his Eloquence, Querks and Conundrums, to tutor me into better manners?

The only thing that had power to restore Captain Puffin to gravity was the difficulty of getting the money for his ticket refunded, while the departure of the train with his portmanteau in it did the same for the Major. The events of that night and morning, as may easily be imagined, soon supplied Tilling with one of the most remarkable conundrums that had ever been forced upon its notice.
I shall just sit and think up conundrums, and not hear, or see, or dream anything. Yes, I can do it, and it will be splendid practice. This is the way I shall look." She took a pose in Cornelia's one chair, and put on an air of impenetrable mystery, which she relinquished a moment to explain, "Of course this back is rather too stiff and straight; I shall be more crouching."

"Do you mean to tell me, sir, that freedom of speech is not allowed?" he demanded, with some show of heat. "Perfect freedom, if you pick and choose your topic," responded Mr. Saul. "Humph!" ejaculated the judge.
Now do tell me what the difference is between geometry and conchology?" Here you come again with your arithmetical conundrums, when I am suffering death with a cold in the head.
Truly there are deep conundrums and strange ones, all along through life; though the white man may be, and is, cleer up out of his way, on the sunshiny brow of the hill, and the black man at the foot, way down amongst the shadows and darkness of the low grounds. They don't come very nigh each other.
Grace and the major say you have become the best of company, taking a human interest in other questions than those which keep the scientists by the ears." "That is because I have broken my shell and come out into the world. One soon discovers that there are other questions, and some of them conundrums that the scientists may as well give up at the start.
My friend usually gives but little heed to the feminine conundrums that smilingly ask to be answered, but for some occult reason he is in a state of sleepless interest over this one, and I know that his waistcoat is selling with gratitude to me for having the courage to ask these questions."
