Fifteen days afterwards he arrived at Sumatra, where the king gave him a hearty welcome and furnished him with means to continue his journey to China. A junk took him in seventy-one days to the port Kailuka, capital of a country somewhat problematical, of which the brave and handsome inhabitants excelled in making arms.
I must never venture to be of opinion, without knowing something, at least, by which my judgement, in itself merely problematical, is brought into connection with the truth which connection, although not perfect, is still something more than an arbitrary fiction. Moreover, the law of such a connection must be certain.
Evidently there was a party assembled in the next room, and at the first words I knew at once with whom we had to do four bold cormorants as ever sprang from the foam on the crests of the ever-rising waves of this present generation four pleasant young fellows whose existence was problematical, since they were not known to possess either stock or landed estates, yet they lived, and lived well.
Then the shrill strife of sound became continuous; it came from all around and closed in upon the doomed caravan. It swelled and rolled away and again there was silence. In 1865, just after the war, a party of engineers was at work in the Wyoming hills on a survey as hazardous as it was problematical. They had charge of the laying out of the Union Pacific Railroad.

The ball went through the latter's body just below the heart, but fortunately without doing vital injury. "You aimed too well, monsieur," said the baron, "to be avenging only a paltry quarrel." And he fainted.
If I lay eyes on you at the Row, I swear I will write to Leonard to chain you up at home. Do you hear?" "I shall come every day; I promise you that." "Oh! you are ambitious of martyrdom? But typhus fever is not the style, Queen. There is neither éclat nor glory in such a death." A sad smile curved her mouth, as she answered slowly "That is problematical, Doctor.
His back to Peabody, he rose, brought down his fist heavily upon the desk, and expounded oratorically to Haines: "What we can produce of aluminium hydrates, my boy, is problematical, but the South is in a hurry for it, and the duty must come down. It's got to come down, and I'm not going to do anything else until it does." The secretary stretched across the desk.
