But granting that the committee is right in coming to this conclusion as far as regards the danger arising to horses, the other objection we alluded to was a poser, from which we shall be glad to see how they extricate themselves we mean the injury done to the turnpike road.
If you are going to be a Principal you ought to be able to give advice, and I really do need it!" "Ye-es!" said Tom slowly. "But you needn't have given me such a poser to start with. It's a problem my dear, that has puzzled many a girl before you, and many a parent, too. The worst of it is that there is so much to be said on both sides.
That was such a poser that the governess threw up her hands, and then laughed aloud, and then shook her head. "Wiser people than you have asked that question." "I asked mamma that, for she is in it all the time.
"Please, sir, there was a torrent there." "Quite right; and what did the torrent do?" "Please, sir, it gurgled." "No; no. Streams gurgle, torrents ?" "Roar, sir." "It roared. And what made it roar?" This was a poser. One boy he was not our prize intellect, I admit suggested the girl. To help us the Professor put his question in another form: "When did it roar?"
This lady. What else would you call her, if the gentleman were present? This being something in the nature of a poser for Podsnap, he merely waves it away with a speechless wave. 'I say, resumes Twemlow, 'if such feelings on the part of this gentleman, induced this gentleman to marry this lady, I think he is the greater gentleman for the action, and makes her the greater lady.

"Shall we consider them together? or apart?" "Apart, if you please." "Well Bread, you know, daily bread, stands for the matters which support life, in all variety. This question arises.
But just you sit down by me and tell me about Mrs. Middleton and Miss Merlin and how they were dressed. For you know, dear, as I haven't been able to go to church these three months, I don't even know what sort of bonnets ladies wear." This requirement was for a moment a perfect "poser" to Ishmael. He wasn't interested in bonnets!
Perry used to take Ralph to task for not saving Ham from his iniquities, and Ralph would reply that Ham was going to the devil anyway, and not even the devil himself could stop him. "You can stop him, and you know it," Perry retorted indignantly. "What do you want me to do with him?" asked Ralph. "Convert him to the saintly life I lead?" This was a poser.
"My ears are not accustomed to play me tricks. You must seek another explanation." "I have ransacked the house; there are no back stairs." "If there were, the study does not communicate with them." "And you heard his voice in the study?" "Plainly." "Well, you have given me a poser, madam." "And I will give you another.
This my friend the General thought a poser; but, however, he determined on trying what virtue there was not in stones, like the "old man" with the "young saucebox," but in a much more potent article, whisky; so, after having stated that although he had not served, yet he was as ready to serve against "the hired assassins of England" this is the term by which the Americans designate our troops as his opponent, he concluded by saying, "Boys, Mr. has told you that he is ready to lead you to a cannon's mouth now I don't wish you any such misfortune as getting the contents of a cannon in your bowels, but if necessary, perhaps, I'd lead you as far as he would; however, men, the short and the long of it is, instead of leading you to the mouth of a cannon, I'll lead you this instant to the mouth of a barrel of whisky."
