Aramis was easier to manage than his namesake. Meanwhile, our minister was very much troubled over the matter, and the count hardly less so. But Porthos was as inexorable as his namesake, and Merton merely obstinate. It was what the count described as an impasse.
Quite a number of such comfortable English folk were now looking forward to going and seeing Nancy Dampier in her new home of which the very address was quaint and unusual, for Dampier's studio was situated Impasse des Nonnes. They were now speeding under and across the vast embracing shadow of the Opera House. And again Dampier slipped his arm round his young wife.
But all at once, recollecting that he had left Florent behind him, he hastily came back. "I live at the end of the Impasse des Bourdonnais," he said rapidly. "My name's written in chalk on the door, Claude Lantier. Come and see the etching of the Rue Pirouette." Then he vanished.
Moreover, in either case, the wife and children suffer. He's certain to take them home short money. He's pretty safe, being tired in the one case, or, in the other, on the loose, to drink." Dickie's face gave. He laughed a little. "We seem to have come to a fine impasse!" he remarked. "Though humiliatingly small, that tract of burnt land must clearly be kept to knock one's head against."
What he had done with it the use to which, as unfriendly critics might insinuate, he had so adroitly put it had landed him, ironically enough, in the ugly impasse of a situation from which no issue seemed possible without some wasteful sacrifice of feeling.

Uncle Moses refused to give up the two babies, and Aunt M'riar refused to leave them, and as was remarked by both there you were! It was an impasse.
We picked our way wet-foot much of the day, and towards evening came to a complete impasse in the middle of the river, with open water in front and on one hand, and new thin ice on the other.
But here again he faced an impasse. Such institutions loan money for the purpose of securing interest on it; the last thing they wish to do is to be forced, in the protection of the loan, to foreclose a mortgage.
When sounding England on different occasions, I endeavoured to discover by what means the dissolution of the military power in Germany was to be or could be guaranteed and I invariably came to an impasse. It was never explained how England intended to carry out the proposal.
A long time afterward, as it seemed to her then, a strong arm went round her. Inch by inch she was dragged from the water that fought and wrestled for her. Phyllis knew that her rescuer was working up the cliff wall with her. Then her perceptions blurred. "I'll never make it this way," he told himself aloud, half way up. In fact, he had come to an impasse.
