Turning to his family he spoke a command in Cree, and forthwith they began to pitch their bundles in. Ambrose was accustomed to the thanklessness of the humbler natives. They are like children, who look to the white man for everything, and take what they can get as a matter of course. Still he was a little nonplused by the excessive precipitation of this family.
Diana couldn't remember when she had been so completely nonplused before. After an involuntary gasp she answered quietly: "I am Diana Von Taer." "Well, I'm glad to meet you, just the same," said Patsy, cheerfully. "We outsiders are liable to look on society folk as we would on a cage of monkeys because we're so very ignorant, you know, and the bars are really between us."
Completely nonplused, for the first time in her life, she sincerely rued the expression of dislike and contempt which had driven the orphan from her adopted home; and, unable to decide on the most plausible solution to be offered her brother, she paced restlessly to and fro.
I was nonplused, and then, for the first time, there crept over me an intuition of the truth. Here was no sign of war.

As he said this, Raskolnikoff felt an inexpressible delight at his maliciousness. The clerk looked up with a smile. The choleric officer was clearly nonplused. "That is not your business, sir," he cried at last, unnaturally loud. "Make the necessary declaration.
It was easy to see that Peter Newby was nonplused. It usually had been easy for him to silence an opponent, or to get an expression of agreement, so that he smarted under the feeling that he was near to being defeated. His texts were gone.

Then, calling a halt, the pretended Colonel Lane advanced to the window, and shouted to the horsemen: "Set foot inside that gate and my men will fire on you!"
