Good Christ! says Alf. Begob he was what you might call flabbergasted.
I pulled forward a chair and invited the lady to sit for she had been standing and her astonishing entrance had flabbergasted ceremonious observance out of me. Whilst she was accepting my belated courtesy, Barbara continued to smile and said: "You mustn't look on us as strangers, Mrs. Prescott. We are all Mr. Chayne's oldest and most intimate friends." "Do tell us what the row was?" said Jaffery.
Leavitt, when she finds who it is, asks pleadin' if I won't run up and see 'em a little while. "Please come," says she; "for I'm completely flabbergasted. It's it's about Mr. Leavitt." "Why, sure," says I. "I'll come right up." I finds 'em sittin' in their dull, bare little hotel room, one on each side of the bed, with the extension grip half packed on the floor. "Well," says I, "what's up?"
The sitting man stiffened, divining the promise of violence; the standing man shrank back a little and looked downward at the pistol in his right hand. The rider saw the glance and laughed lowly. "Keep her right where she is, Dolver," he warned. "You lift her one little wee lift, an' I bore you plumb in the brain-box. Sort of flabbergasted, eh? Didn't expect to run into me again so soon?"
Owen kept on. "I s-s-say exactly the same. So far as I k-know I haven't seen, h-handled or even s-smelled that little b-b-box since Max hid it in h-h-here. I'm completely f-f-f-f" whistle "flabbergasted at finding it gone." "And Steve, what about you?" Owen asked.
"Don't you worry about Lawler's nerve, boys; he's got more of it than the bunch of us put together! He's got some scheme in mind. You guys just set tight until you find out what it is. Do as he told you. Don't let that scurvy gang know that you're flabbergasted!" When Lawler rode away there was a noticeable commotion in the group of advancing horsemen.
"You just mentioned a name," he said. "I would like to mention another one." "All right, what?" "James Price." "Hello!" The stranger looked flabbergasted, as the saying goes. He furrowed his brow as if puzzled. "You have made a mistake," continued Dave. "You think one of us two is Jerry Dawson." "I did think it, yes," admitted the man, a trifle less self assured than at first. "Wrong."
So I went in, all flabbergasted and there was a room with the paper all falling off the walls and no carpet On the floor, but anyway the windows were wide open, that was one good thing. And over in the corner was an old cot without any sheets or anything and, oh, gee, it looked bad because I've got a dandy bed up in my den all brass and filigree work you know.
"We have got you this time!" I cried. "We know who you are, Dr. Polperro. You are Colonel Clay, alias Señor Antonio Herrera, alias the Reverend Richard Peploe Brabazon." I never saw any man so astonished in my life! He was utterly flabbergasted.
They are flimsy sheets of tissue-paper covered with spidery characters in violet ink, and Bingo, taking them, recognises the handwriting, and is, as he states without hesitation, confoundedly flabbergasted. "For they are in my wife's wild scrawl," he splutters at last. "How on earth did they reach you, sir?"
