I surely would recognize that voice that voice which sounds to my ear like some retrospective agony of which I may have dreamed long years ago." Eugene still held the paper. He had opened it, and was turning it in and out, with an expression of great surprise. "What am I to understand by this mystification?" said he.
Alison was inclined to read a significance into Mrs. Atterbury's glance at her son, who was clearing his throat. "But where is Mr. Parr?" he asked. "I understand he has come back from his cruise." "Yes, he is back. I came without him -as you see." She found a certain satisfaction in adding to the mystification, to the disquietude he betrayed by fidgeting more than usual.
But for his angry recollection of the provocation successfully offered to him by his despicable brother, Mrs. Gallilee would never have found her way into his confidence. But for his hearty enjoyment of the mystification of the cook, Mr. Mool would have been requested to state the object of his visit in writing, and would have gone home again a baffled man.
Here was a monstrous mystification for the lady of honor, who told Boehmer to instantly go and see his official superior, the chief of the king's household. She herself being very soon afterwards summoned to the Queen's presence, the affair came up, and she told the Queen all she knew about it.
If I were to declare that this evening, before I sleep, I shall cross the Atlantic and go to America, my readers would think the statement a sufficiently extraordinary one; but if, after thus surprising them, I went on to explain that by the Atlantic I did not mean the ocean, nor by America the western continent, but that the Atlantic meant the village green, and America the squire's house on the other side of it, I should justly gain credit for a very silly mystification.
"You can go to the fire," said Geoffrey, with a gesture of permission. "Of course you can," said the girl, "Mr. Holland is not in your way, Billy." But Billy continued to eye his host. "Oh, no, you don't," he said warily. "Not unless you move back. Do move, there's a good fellow." And Geoffrey laughed and moved, somewhat to the girl's mystification.
She paused on her way, wondering, and her wonder and mystification grew when she saw them cut across the square in the direction of Peden's dark and silent hall. One of them was Dell Hutton. The other she had no need to name.
"The whole duty of woman, Joan," he said, opening these eyes upon her, "can be expressed in just one little word charm." And again at her look of mystification he laughed aloud. "There's there's babies," suggested Joan after a pause during which she evidently wrestled in vain with the true meaning of his speech.
His bulging eyes swept round the chamber, and fastened finally, glaring, upon the startled Königsmark. "Where is the Princess?" he blurted out. The Count espied Madame von Platen in the back ground, and had the scent of mischief very strong. But he preserved an air of innocent mystification. He rose and answered with courteous ease: "Your Highness is seeking her? Shall I ascertain for you?"
If he is in London, I will personally assist my housemaid in the necessary mystification of him. If he is anywhere else, I will send her after him, accompanied by a person on whose discretion I can implicitly rely. "You shall have the sleeping drops to-morrow. In the meantime, I say at the end what I said at the beginning no recklessness.
