What we got to do is to make up a bed for him if he wants to lay down or anything." "Make up a what for him?" Sam echoed, dumfounded. "What you talkin' about? How can " "Sawdust," said Penrod. "That's the way the horse we used to have used to have it. We'll make this horse's bed in the other stall, and then he can go in there and lay down whenever he wants to." "How we goin' to do it?"
And, please, won't YOU take Mrs. Hunchberg out to supper?" Then into the vision of our paralyzed and dumfounded watchers came the little wagon, pulled by the old colored woman, Bob's wife, in her best, and there, propped upon pillows, lay Hamilton Swift, Junior, his soul shining rapture out of his great eyes, a bright spot of color on each of his thin cheeks.
Tom, Roger, and Astro looked at each other dumfounded as Strong quickly outlined the plan. Later, when Sid and Kit were working inside the ship, he told them of the sudden danger on Titan. "So I'm going to leave it up to you which ship you want to ride," he concluded. "The commander has suggested that Roger not be sent along with Miles on the Space Knight.
Roger brought the cup up slowly to his mouth with trembling hands, tipped it shakily, and then before Astro or Tom could catch him, fell to the ground. The precious water spilled into the sand. Tom and Astro watched dumfounded as the dry sand sucked away the water until nothing remained but a damp spot six inches wide. "I guess " began Tom, "I guess that about does it!"
"Tell him to drive away from here," she whispered, "to drive anywhere, but away from here." "Drive straight on," Tavernake directed, "along Fleet Street and up Holborn. I will give you the address later on." The man changed his speed and their pace increased. Tavernake sat quite still, dumfounded by these amazing happenings.
He went on, unruffled, in his great voice, as if I had not spoken: "Many names have been mine through the uncounted eons many names. In this flesh men call me Constantine Paphluoides." It was no wonder Chepstow could not turn its tongue about that name; that and his manner together must have dumfounded our straight-thinking townspeople.
The Cross-roads post-office had indeed been the scene of a sort of informal levée held by the newcomer, who had been thus presented to her fellow-citizens. One man after another had dropped in to hear the truth of the story related, and each one had been dumfounded at the outset by Tom's simple statement of fact. "Yes, I'm going to keep her, boys," he said.
The distance was so slight that the briefest possible time was required to make his aim certain; but while in the very act of doing so, the sinewy youth vanished like a puff of vapor. The savage was dumfounded, for nothing of the kind had ever occurred, so far as his experience went, and it was unexplainable to him.
"That all depends on where you're standing, Walters!" said a voice from the hatch. The three spacemen whirled at the sound of the voice and were dumfounded by the appearance of Quent Miles, standing to one side of the hatch, holding an automatic paralo-ray rifle, trained on them. "Stay right where you are," he said softly. "The first man that moves gets frozen solid!"
Except for the low yet hysterical moaning of the woman in the chair and the distant whistle of a Hudson River boat, there was complete silence in the small room, while the man stood dumfounded and speechless. Marian's evening gown was torn and one silk stocking sagged at the ankle. Stuart Farquaharson noted these things vaguely and at last he inquired, "How did you get here?"
