With a deliberation that enraged the Loyalist and non-plussed his subordinates, the general pushed the patriot army northward to White Plains, missing there a second opportunity to win a decisive battle.
For once he was completely non-plussed. He sank back into the chair and lighted another cigarette with a hand that shook ridiculously. For a very long time he sat there, smoking cigarettes and staring blankly at the wall, lighting each fresh one with the butt of its predecessor, end on end.
Clutching Hand and Dan, hardened in crime as they were, fell back, dazed, overcome for the moment at the startling effect. They looked about. Not a soul. Then to their utter consternation, from the vizor of the helmet again came the deep, vibrating warning. "Help! Murder! Police!" Kennedy and I had been listening over the vocaphone, for the moment non-plussed at the fellow's daring.
An expression of triumph came into the red bibulous face of Count Bertrich, and the nobles shouted joyously: "The Emperor, the Emperor!" The Archbishop, however, seemed in no way non-plussed by his defeat, but, addressing the armourer, said: "Advance, blacksmith, and do homage to your Emperor and mine."
The wretched American was non-plussed. He had a shrewd suspicion that matters were moving rapidly downstairs yet he did not see any way of leaving the dining-room to investigate for himself. He had hardly heard what was said. "Why ah to tell you the truth, Mr. Kent, I read very little fiction nowadays. I'm rather worried about that gas-man downstairs.
Ricks he was thoroughly non-plussed so much so, in fact, that he called his right bower, Michael J. Murphy, into consultation. "Mike," he said, and handed the mate the telegram, "what in the world do you suppose the old duffer means by that?" Mr. Murphy read: "Matt, I always knew you were young, but I had no suspicion you were a child in arms until I received your photograph."
Ventnor himself used when he wished to imply that though he didn't as a fact do business, he probably soon would. He knew therefore that the answer was a true one. And non-plussed, he hazarded: "Oh! I thought you did, in regard to a Mrs. Larne." This time he had certainly drawn blood of sorts, for down came Scriven's eyebrows, and he said: "Mrs. Larne we know a Mrs.
"Well," said Archie, humoring him, "what am I going to say?" This non-plussed the irritable savant. "Hum! Hum! hum! I don't know and don't care. Pouf! How hot this room is! What a number of books of travel Random has!" Braddock was now at the bookcase, which consisted of shelves swung by cords against the wall. "Random travels a great deal," Archie reminded him. "Quite so: quite so.
By a strange coincidence the name that appears the following instant is that of Henry Hide, the head of the leather Trust. The ribald jest of the boy proves to be all too true. Inside the newspaper offices there is even greater excitement than on the streets. The editors are non-plussed at the appalling news that comes pouring in from every section of the laud.
We came very near expressing interest, sometimes even admiration it was very hard to keep from it. We succeeded though. Nobody else ever did, in the Vatican museums. The guide was bewildered non-plussed. He walked his legs off, nearly, hunting up extraordinary things, and exhausted all his ingenuity on us, but it was a failure; we never showed any interest in any thing.
