Never since Thunder invested in his famous fake of the man-monkey had man or woman been found courageous enough to beard the monster in his den for a pound. Never had any been expected to. Professor Thunder stood non-plussed. Madame went to the back of the cage. "Howl!" she whispered. "Howl! Do you want to ruin us?" Mahdi howled, he growled ferociously, he made an attempt to savage Ammonia.
It seems a dreary outlook, doesn't it? Now go, and remember that I do not forgive easily. I had built such castles, Gavan, and now " She slipped quietly from the room, and was gone. Gavan Blake drove home, feeling a trifle uneasy. He had expected some sort of outburst, but the curious way in which she had taken it rather non-plussed him. "She won't stick a knife in herself, I suppose," he mused.
"Would you mind opening it?" asked Ferguson. "I would, most certainly; it relates to my personal affairs." Ferguson looked a trifle non-plussed. "Would you mind telling me its contents, Mr. Kent?" he asked persuasively. Kent regarded the detective squarely.
The clerk glanced at her face to see if a sarcasm might not lurk somewhere in that obscure speech, but the gentle simplicity of the beautiful eyes that met his, banished that suspicion. He went away and conferred with the proprietor. Both appeared to be non-plussed. They thought and talked, and talked and thought by turns.
It was a standing joke in the royal family for a long time, and he heard so much about it that he tried to deny what he had said!" Johnston glanced at the speaker non-plussed, but the captain was looking at Thorndyke. "Your climate is delightful here now," said the Englishman; "is it so long at a time?" "Perpetually; it is regulated every moment, and every year we perfect it in some way."
"The best compliment you could pay to me, and to my care for you, Jim, would be to show yourself in any way worthy of bearing the name of that great and good man," said Milly, non-plussed how to carry her point, and still not to wound her charge.
Both lads threw themselves to the ground, and thus avoided the volley of shots that were fired at them. As Chester dropped, he heard a startled exclamation from his chum, and, glancing quickly about, he could see no sign of him. The lad was non-plussed, but, before he could so much as move, he heard Hal's voice, apparently below him: "Quick, Chester! Down here, but be careful how you come."
They were plainly non-plussed, and Alloway seemed sullen, brooding. "Jennie," whispered Duane, "that was clever of Mrs. Bland. We'll keep up the deception. Any day now be ready!" She pressed close to him, and a barely audible "Hurry!" came breathing into his ear. "Good night, Jennie," he said, aloud. "Hope you feel better to-morrow." Then he stepped out into the moonlight and spoke.
Flirty Florrie rose and stood gazing at Elaine, apparently very much embarrassed, even after Jennings had gone. There was a short pause. The woman was the first to speak. "It IS embarrassing," she said finally, "but, Miss Dodge, I have come to you to beg for my love." Elaine looked at her non-plussed. "Yes," she continued, "you do not know it, but Craig Kennedy is infatuated with you."
These lovely ladies were very evidently presents, banquet-favors so to speak, which we were expected to take home with us. To refuse them meant certain offense, perhaps death. Triplett was plainly non-plussed. Swank and Whinney were too far gone to be of any assistance. Summoning all my reserve strength I rose and faced the whirling assembly.
