The uncertainty was keeping Perk keyed up to a high tension something told him in no uncertain tones that Jack had a vastly more important reason for attaining that lake than the mere desire to avoid attracting attention just what it might mean he could not guess, for when he attempted to solve the enigma he found himself floundering in a shoreless sea of doubt and uncertainty that was baffling, to say the least.
"I'll bring up a load of branches to make a fire." He loosed the blankets from his shoulders, and floundering down the slope was lost in the vapor. An hour passed, and it was growing dark when Weston scrambled up the hillside empty-handed. "There's a slope between us and the timber, sir, that's too steep to get down," he announced.
Now, supposing that the sins of a former birth fail to checkmate all these machinations, and that the new arrival actually finds himself swimming in the unfathomed bliss of a belt with a brass plate, and a princely income of seven Queen's rupees every month, who could foretell that almost before a year has passed he will again be floundering in the mire of disappointed ambition? Yet so it is.
But they had their carriages, and on a certain Sunday afternoon several of these arks drawn by stout horses might have been seen crawling fearfully down the steep hills or floundering through the sand until they reached Market Street; when the coachmen cracked their whips, the horses trotted briskly, and shortly after began to ascend Rincon Hill.

And, sure enough, four young ladies, each furnished with a towel, tripped up the steps of a bathing-machine.

Elliot's information, Hal Surtaine, floundering blindly, sought a solution to his problem, which was the problem of his newspaper. Indeed, it meant, as far as he could judge, the end of the "Clarion" in a few months, should he decide to defy Elias M. Pierce. Against the testimony of the injured nurse, he could scarcely hope to defend the libel suits successfully.
I caught Davie in my arms from where he lay sobbing and crying "Yanal! Yanal!" and stood for a moment not knowing what to do, but resolved to fight with teeth and nails before Willie should take him again. Meantime Turkey led Willie towards the deepest of the boggy ground, in which both were very soon floundering, only Turkey, being the lighter, had the advantage.
A sublime story it is, therefore. The life of men and nations has not been a floundering on through useless disorder and confusion, trial and strife, war and bloodshed; but it has been a struggling onward to an end. This, I believe, has been the story of the world from the beginning.
To the front; I will hold them at bay!" "No, no; we will stand by each other." "Nonsense!" he cried, "remember the packet!" and, having no answer to that, I pushed forward, though with reluctance. It was a wild scramble, now swimming, now wading, stumbling, and floundering along with the yells of the pursuers in our ears.
