Mab will inherit my money when I die; and should she marry Captain Pendle during my lifetime, I shall allow the young couple a thousand a year. 'A thousand a year, Miss Whichello! 'Yes! and more if necessary. Let me tell you, bishop, I am much better off than people think. The bishop, rather nonplussed, looked down at his neat boots and very becoming gaiters.
Gray sat back in her chair and rocked violently to and fro, eying her hostess with the evident consciousness of having presented a poser. That resourceful woman, however, was far from being nonplussed; she beamed upon her visitor with a joyful smile. "Just the thing, my dear Mrs. Gray! You know I am to go South with May for the winter. The house will be closed and the doctor at the hotel.
"You you think so?" It was true, then! "I have ceased to think; I am nonplussed. Witchcraft, though not in the older sense of the word, is still no doubt exercised by young ladies, and there are certain improvement commissions that undertake, for a suitable consideration, the ah redecoration of feminine architecture, or even the partial restoration of human antiques.
"But, my dear child, the thrushes went to bed two hours ago!" "Yes," I answer, at once entirely nonplussed, "so they did!" "Where have you been?" she asks, in a tone of ever-increasing surprise. "Did you go farther than you intended?"
In a couple of seconds the advance-guard saw him, and, calling to their fellows, rushed to him. The pack answered the cry and instantly followed. Spencer felt the brutes running over him, felt their foul breath on his neck, as they sniffed at him, snapping, snarling, laughing; but he did not move.

"So I understand," replied Beecot, politely, "but that is a matter entirely for your own consideration." Mrs. Krill still continued to smile in her placid way, but she was rather nonplussed all the same. From the appearance of Beecot, she had argued that he was one of those many men she could twist round her finger.
He seemed to have grown much brighter and gayer of mood in this past twelvemonth. Apparently he was somewhat stouter, and certainly there was a mellowed softening of his sharp glance and shrewd smile. It was evident that his friend's mood somewhat nonplussed him, but his good-humour was unflagging. "It's the way we're taught at school," he hazarded, genially.
Did she not come from that country, as I tell you, and who should hear the latest news more readily than she?" The smith looked a little nonplussed, but stuck to it stoutly that none but a witch woman would ride alone at nightfall upon a Galloway moor, or unless by enchantment set up a pavilion of silk and strange devices under the pines of Loch Roan.
"You said it! Ebeneezerr, but this place has got the Catskills and old Rip Van Winkle beat! Come on quick!" Tom was not sure that one side of the water was any safer than the other in this emergency, and he was almost too nonplussed to do anything, but surely they were in danger, he felt, and would better be upon their way without the loss of a minute.
