Confronted suddenly by so many problems of getting started, I stood "just plumb flabbergasted," as Coyote Cal, a cowpuncher, always remarked when unexpectedly confronted by a group of women. And yet I knew what I wanted to do. I had known since the day I heard myself telling the New York broker.
In spite of Aunt Jane's saying that he is a cynical foreigner I like him!" Society was absolutely flabbergasted when it read in the Morning Post the announcement of Lord Tancred's engagement! No one had heard a word about it. There had been talk of his going to Canada, and much chaff upon that subject so ridiculous, Tancred emigrating!
The effect on the company was electrical; the majority, including the women, fled precipitately, and the rest, overcoming the feeble protests of the doctor, wrenched off the lid of the coffin. The spell, cast over me by the occult brains, was now by a merciful Providence broken, and I was able to explain my condition to the flabbergasted faces around me.
James. This" with a wave of her tiny hand "is the great portrait painter, Somerled. I will not introduce him as 'Mr., for he is as far above that designation as Shakespeare." The poor wretch who had refused us was flabbergasted. "Excuse me a minute, mum!" he muttered, and darted off to return with a young officer before "the Great Somerled" had time to remonstrate.
Chapeau was flabbergasted, for all this was rank treason to him; and yet he didn't want to quarrel with the smith; so he sat still and gazed into his face, as though he were struck dumb with astonishment.

Dr. dear, I shall never, no never, forget the first sight I had of that infant, lying in that big soup tureen, rolled up in dirty flannel. It is not often that Susan Baker is flabbergasted, but flabbergasted I was then, and that you may tie to. For one awful moment I thought my mind had given way and that I was seeing visions.
When I stood there outside the curtain that night I was looking straight at him, and at nobody else. I don't remember another face. Tasper Britt is not actor enough to make up the expression that I saw. It was simple, absolute, flabbergasted fright!" They started down the slope and walked in silence. "He's considerable of a coward," Vaniman admitted, after his pondering.
Furneaux choked with excitement. "A horsey-looking chap, on to-day's jury," he gurgled. "That's him!" "The scoundrel!" "No wonder he looked ill." "No wonder, indeed. How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!" "But, sir " Robinson was flabbergasted. He could only murmur "Fred Elkin!" in a dazed way. "Have a drink," said Furneaux sympathetically. "I'll wet my whistle, too.
"Then they had keys to the locks and bolts?" "False keys, yes." "But the policemen watching the house outside?" "They are still watching it, as that sort watch a house, walking from point to point without thinking that people can slip into a garden while they have their backs turned. That's what took place in coming and going." Sergeant Mazeroux seemed flabbergasted.
