Tom took his own time in coming; he had stayed at the club to go over his lists so he had told Crailey with the General and old Bareaud. His company was almost complete, and Crailey had been the first to volunteer, to the dumfounding of Trumble, who had proceeded to drink his health again and again.
"I expect you need some wiping down," he began dangerously. "I'll give you sumpthing to remem " "Oh, you will!" Maurice cried with astonishing truculence, contorting himself into what he may have considered a posture of defense. "Let's see you try it, you you itcher!" For the moment, defiance from such a source was dumfounding.
This girl seemed to be talking, but her words were dumfounding, and of course there was no way for him to know that he was really listening to her mother. It was his first meeting with one of those grown-up little girls, wonderful product of the winter apartment and summer hotel; and Fanchon, an only child, was a star of the brand. He began to feel resentful.
These were the hasty plans which occupied his thoughts until he was within about fifty feet of her when he ceased to have either plans or thoughts, he had kept his eyes from looking full at her until then, and as he saw her, thus close at hand, and coming nearer, a regret that was dumfounding took possession of him.
His reason for severing his connection was dumfounding; he had written a formal letter to the Judge and repeated the gist of it to his associates in the office and acquaintances upon the street.
This, at first supposed to be a superhuman exhibition of sheer audacity, became but the more dumfounding when Miss Spence looking up from her desk greeted him with a pleasant little nod. Even after school, Penrod gave numerous maddened investigators no relief. All he would consent to say was: "Oh, I just TALKED to her."
After that, astonishment mounted to complete dumfounding as he saw standing in the aisle Will Turk, the backbone and energy of the entire prosecution and heard his voice addressing the judge: "May it please your Honour, I'd love ter be tuck on Sally Turk's bond when ther time comes. I've done satisfied myself thet she kilt my brother in self deefence."
It will be remembered that Billie wanted to get in touch with a creature having the characteristic which she had said she admired: supremacy "A worker who is the boss!" Bearing this in mind, her experience will explain itself, dumfounding though it was. Her first sight of the Sanusian world was from the front of a large building.
But it was not this fact so much that caused them to catch their breaths with gasps of amazement, as something else which suddenly became visible. To the boys' utter dumfounding, they beheld, seated on the ground, bound hand and foot with raw-hide the professor and Coyote Pete!
And these plastic tokens, so immoderate as to be ordinarily the consequence of nothing short of horror, were overlaid by others, subtler and more gleaming, which wrought the true significance of the contortion a joy that was dumfounding.
