"What?" she said uncertainly; "don't you like me with it?" "No."
Nurse Sarah said she should never forget the night she came, and how she looked, and how utterly flabbergasted everybody was to see her a little slim eighteen-year-old girl with yellow curly hair and the merriest laughing eyes they had ever seen. "But how did Father act?" I demanded. "Wasn't he displeased and scandalized and shocked, and everything?"
The general impression was that we should get some of them, but that the main body would, somehow or other, escape. We had so often toiled and taken nothing, that this sudden miraculous draught quite flabbergasted us. And what must have been the feelings of the poor Boers? They tried Naawpoort Nek: no exit.

"You think, then, he wants me to knock the chip off his shoulder?" mused the captain. "Exactly," replied Tyke. "An' if you don't, he may be so flabbergasted that before he cooks up anything new we'll have the whip hand of him." "Well, I'll do as you say, though it sure does go against the grain."
"Then when will the trial come off?" "You'll learn the result of the trial soon enough!" and he slammed the door to prevent further discussion. I was completely flabbergasted.

He had no desire to fall a second time into the hands of an avenging militarist. Norman turned to the platform for one graceless, triumphant moment. "Don't look so flabbergasted, parsons," he boomed. "You couldn't do it nobody would expect it of the cloth but somebody had to do it.
It's good enough for me and for you, too! She's said it now, and must abide by it! Hereupon Sarah turned upon him in sudden fury, and cried: 'Hold your tongue! what is it to you, at any rate? and she resumed her crying.
