Once in the outhouse I chose my time and, climbing up to the hole in the wall, squeezed myself through with difficulty, for it was only just large enough.
II. That brings me to the next point here, viz., the blessed, clear answer that we may all take. Paul and Silas were not non-plussed by this question, nor did they reply to it in the fashion in which many men would have answered it. Take a specimen of other answers.
Miss Peckham's nature overflowed with tenderness toward animals, and it was regarding one of her pets she now called to Janice about. "You haven't seen him, have you, Janice? You haven't seen my Sam?" "Your Sam?" murmured Janice, rather non-plussed for the moment. "You don't mean the dog you bought of the butcher, do you, Miss Peckham?" "No, indeed. That's Cicero.

He is certainly a child of nature, but of a nature so quixotic that we are non-plussed. To many of our dark-skinned little friends "Home" originally was the little island across from the toe of Italy.
