Besides, if we kept the book reasonably clean, it might afterward make a very serviceable and acceptable present to Eliza's mother. I generally know pretty well what I am doing, I think. I looked at two or three of the conundrums on the way home. There was one which I do not remember precisely, but remarkably clever something about training the shoot and shooting the train.
In these early days Derain, considerably younger than Matisse and less precocious than Picasso, was less conspicuous than either; yet he always held a peculiar and eminent position, with an intellect apt for theoretical conundrums and sensibility to match that of any Fauve and his personal genius brooding over both.
"But I ain't got time thinking conundrums. I get too many, running the mail. Still, I'd like to say right here this doggone church ain't architecture. Maybe it's art, as Miss Kate says. But it ain't architecture. That's what it ain't," he finished up, with decided emphasis. Kate smiled upon him. She was interested in what lay behind the remark. "How how do you make that out, Allan?" she inquired.
She was delightfully puzzled to know how these men who had the power of making money managed their affairs. Account-books were such conundrums to her! She took a little hassock, placed it by Mr. Belcher's chair, and sat down, leaning by the weight of a feather against him. It was the first approach of the kind she had ever made, and the General appreciated it.
I thought that these conundrums would be not only a pleasant amusement, but also a valuable intellectual exercise to Eliza and myself during the winter evenings. Then we could use them for social purposes during the Christmas party season.
"I find a great deal when you are Bert Chester." He seemed to puzzle over this, to ponder it; so that she added: "Let's not talk conundrums in this air and this crowd! We're not blue-nosed, self-searching New Englanders. Let's keep away from Market Street and walk through the Quarter.
"How!" cried I, "is Mr. Staytape a tailor." "No less, I assure you," answered he, "and, I confess, more likely to serve you than the member; for, provided you can entertain him with politics and conundrums, you may have credit with him for as many and as rich clothes as you please."
Writing and drawing ought to be taught simultaneously with reading. All should be made pleasant to the pupils; they ought to relish their lessons, to be kept brisk, excited, wide-awake; and to this end there should be emulation, praise of the deserving, always something nice and rousing on the board, a mixture of the funny with the serious, and occasional puzzles, anecdotes, and conundrums.
But Jack, with a wild glance at the door, as he came to himself, was beyond conundrums, as he thought of what he'd done. "Tell some of 'em, Jack," cried Joel eagerly, emerging from his surprise. "What are they, Jack? Tell some." "Not now," said Mrs. Sterling, interposing. "Jack is going to write them out, and they will be sent in as his contribution to Lawrence."
"Do you think ma would care about it?" "I think it would cheer her lonely hours. There are upwards of a thousand conundrums in the book. I have only read twelve, but I found them all exceedingly amusing, and, at the same time, perfectly refined." "Well, I don't see the good of them." "They are an intellectual exercise, if you try to guess the right answer."
