The young bureaucrat turned short on his heel and strolled down the Ridge Trail, with an air that only a bureaucrat, a very young bureaucrat, and a very cheap one could possibly wear. "Well, A 'm A 'm d danged." Wayland burst out laughing. "Do you suppose that little kindergarten ass thought he had come and caught me off duty?" The old man stood dumfounded.
And in response to this savage roar there arose from the courtyard the mocking yell of hundreds and hundreds of human voices, intermingled with laughter, curses, and threats. For a moment he remained there dumfounded. What could it be? Surely not a band of robbers in collusion with his wife?
But when they came upon Dennison and Cunningham, asleep side by side, they drew round the spot, dumfounded. But their befuddlement was only a tithe of that which struck Cleigh an hour later.
This circumstance, taken with the fact of Donna Urania's hair being parted on one side, and the general negligee of her appearance, was a disturbing revelation. My wandering eye apparently struck her, for after the first greeting she pointed to the manuscript with a smile. I suppose Enriquez told you all about it? He said he had written." I was dumfounded.
Evans, thus appealed to, fidgeted and turned color, and his hands worked by his side. "Your reverence!" cried he, in an imploring tone, and stayed where he was. On this Mr. Eden made no more ado, but darted to Josephs' side and began to unfasten him with nimble fingers.

Then I fancy you will report at the superintendent's office in the morning." With that the Naval officer turned away, leaving poor Dalzell feeling decidedly dumfounded. "Wasn't that a midshipman?" gasped Dan, in a whisper.
Two lightning blows sent his guardians spinning, and before they had fallen to the floor their supposed captive was through the door and it was slammed in their faces. Before the first dumfounded Persson could jump forward the bolt grated home inside and the door was sealed. Things were a little more complex than that to Jason.
"For five seconds I was the happiest man in the United States. I I did everything you said, you know, and I was dumfounded at my own success. S-s-she loves me, Westoby." I gazed inquiringly at the dress-suit case. "We don't belong to any common Joneses. We're Connecticut Joneses.
Though the Baron had been familiar with Imperial luxury, which was undoubtedly prodigious, while its productions, though not durable in kind, had nevertheless cost enormous sums, he stood dazzled, dumfounded, in this drawing-room with three windows looking out on a garden like fairyland, one of those gardens that are created in a month with a made soil and transplanted shrubs, while the grass seems as if it must be made to grow by some chemical process.
