Hugh Price and his associate, Giles Peram, were nonplussed, puzzled and intimidated by the strong, vigorous, and at the same time mysterious arm which had suddenly been raised to protect him whom they hated. "It is extraordinary! It is very extraordinary!" declared Peram, clearing his throat and strutting over the floor. "Where is your wife?" "On board the ship Despair." "Bring her home.
"Yes I'll try." "You better, if it's in you!" Sheridan was sheerly nonplussed. He had always been able to say whatever he wished to say, but his tongue seemed bewitched. He had come to tell Bibbs about Mary's letter, and to his own angry astonishment he found it impossible to do anything except to scold like a drudge-driver.
" From being the owner of two thousand acres to becoming a kind of head-groom on a ranch? What was the cause of your flight?" "Flight! I came in one of the steamers of the Company for which your firm are the agents. Eleven days it took to come from Glasgow to Quebec." Again the court rippled, again the attendant intervened. Burlingame was nonplussed this time, but he gathered himself together.
The situation was desperate, and the loss of Mother Mayberry's faith in her seemed inevitable to the nonplussed singer lady as she leaned against the fence with Teether over her shoulder.
I'll prove myself a true Atwood, worthy to sustain the family name and honor by keeping my promises, and if I break them, you yourself, deep in your heart, would despise me." For a moment the old merchant was nonplussed, so adroitly and unexpectedly had Roger turned his words against him.

The fine, strong, and specious deliberation of Indians was well illustrated on this eventful trip. It was fresh every morning. They all behaved well, however, exerted themselves under tedious hardships without flinching for days or weeks at a time; never seemed in the least nonplussed; were prompt to act in every exigency; good as servants, fellow travelers, and even friends.
Evaleen came to her with appealing looks. "Please unlock the door and let us go. Here, take my purse. I will give you more if you will set us free all I have. You are a woman; have pity; let us go." Mex grasped the silken purse, keeping her eyes steadily on the beautiful pleader. "You window woman?" Evaleen, nonplussed, ventured to nod acquiescence with these unintelligible words.
The peasants, nonplussed, kept silent; and the white, placid, well-groomed statue seemed to look at M. Massarel with its plaster smile, ineffaceable and sarcastic. Thus they stood, face to face, Napoleon on his chair, the physician standing three feet away. Anger seized the commandant. What could he do to move this crowd and definitely to win over public opinion?
Hugh was rather nonplussed. The question required explanation, no doubt. It would, he saw, appear very curious that he should visit Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo at that late hour. "I well, I called upon Mademoiselle because I wished to obtain some important information from her." "What information? Rather late for a call, surely?" The young Englishman hesitated.
"She took no more notice of Mam'zelle than if she was a chair," Pierre had told him who, having his own troubles with women, was prepared to see a conflict! Suzette became nonplussed, and losing her temper a little told Alathea that she hoped she would get as much out of the situation as she herself had done!
