Now, if the Lord would lend them a hand, fighting cannot be sinful. I have often been nonplused, though, to find that they used them chariots instead of heavy dragoons, who are, in all comparison, better to break a line of infantry, and who, for the matter of that, could turn such wheel carriages, and getting into the rear, play the very devil with them, horse and all."
A deep sigh of relief came from the masked lads, and some of them showed an inclination to cheer Merriwell. Diamond seemed nonplused for the moment. He glared at Frank, his hands clinched and his face pale. At last he slowly said: "A duel is something no gentleman can blow about, so if you are a gentleman you will have to remain silent, sir."
"Yes, it must be done; but now to tell the men what has happened," and Landlord Larry went out, followed by Harding, to find a large crowd of miners gathered about the hotel. Landlord Larry was considerably nonplused by what had been told him by Harding, and he hardly knew how to break the news to the miners.
"It's not mine," he answered. "It belongs to Mr. Johnson, this gentleman here." "Yes, it's mine," said the man referred to, as if daring her to dispute his statement. Gladys was nonplused. There was something queer about their possession of the trunk she knew from the conversation she had overheard. "You say your name is Johnson?" she asked.
For the first two or three miles, while crossing the level valley, all went well, but when we reached the bluffs and ravines that bounded the river valley on the west, the green oxen began to balk and back and refused to pull their loads up the hills, and the new drivers were nonplused and helpless.
An old man, with snow-white hair and beard, cried out: "Is that dog in the car part of your ammunition?" His companions laughed at the witticism. For once Andrews was nonplused. George came bravely to the rescue. "It's a dog in a box," he said, "and it's a present to General Beauregard." "Well, I hopes the purp won't be blown up," remarked the old man.
We had come to within fifty feet of these men when I felt a sudden strange and rapid pricking sensation in one of my fingers. For a moment I was nonplused by the odd feeling, and then there came to me recollection of that which in the stress of my adventure I had entirely forgotten the gift ring of Prince Talu of Marentina.
It was cleverly done; so cleverly, in fact, that Constance Brevoort was completely nonplused, astute as she was. Long ago she had arrived at a conclusion not borne out by the seeming indifference of her hostess, who was placidly smiling at the regal beauty in the cozy armchair before the cheerful pinon fire. Under the cover of a pretended pout she watched Grace sharply.
The doctor was utterly nonplused. He prescribed a quieting potion, and went away, promising to return again in the morning. "And perhaps you had better humor him in his desire to be left alone," he said to Mrs. Pell. "But of course arrange to be near in case another collapse occurs." The household separated for bed that night with sober faces. "Syd hasn't been like himself since Mr.
I chuckled. "Sir, I was there. May I look through the stack myself?" The professor, nonplused, gave his permission; I quickly found my paper, where I had carefully omitted any identification mark except my roll call number. Seeing through my trick, he now thundered, "Sheer brazen luck!" He added hopefully, "You are sure to fail in the A.B. finals."
