"Major Mauser, mercenary by trade, is now no more." There was bitterness in him and he found no ability to respond to what was meant as humor in her words. He followed her silently and his puzzlement grew with him. The office building through which they moved was as well done as any he could ever remember having observed, even on the Telly.
Randalin ventured to steal a glance at his face, then her own clouded with puzzlement. No haughtiness was in it, but a kind of impatient pain, and now he winced under the smart and stirred restlessly in his place. The lightness of the King's voice grated on her ear. "Then I think you must have got surprised, if this is true, which seems impossible."
He looked up hesitantly. "You seem to have such a mind. You've read Mr. Darwin, I believe and I suspect other progressive thinkers as well." Gretchen smiled at him, but tilted her head with some puzzlement. "You once called me more evolved," he replied answering her unspoken question. "That's hardly the sort of phrase an unread woman would use. I presumed you have read Mr. Darwin, among others."
Then he held it far out in front of him and proceeded to tie a knot in the inch-thick metal bar! Then, still frowning in puzzlement, he untied it, straightened it as best he could, and put it back in the rack. The Earthmen were staring in utter astonishment to see the terrific strength the man displayed. He smiled as he turned to them again.
Lincoln's previous experience in life did not make it easy for him to solve with any confidence in the correctness of his own judgment. Amid this puzzlement day after day glided by, and the question remained unsettled. Yet during this lapse of time sentiment was ripening, and perhaps this was the real purpose of Lincoln's patient waiting.
Young Perch was a tall and slight young man with a happy laugh and an air which suggested to Sabre, after puzzlement, that his spirit was only alighted in his body as a bird alights and swings upon a twig, not engrossed in his body. He did not look very strong. His mother said he had a weak heart.
"For God's sake, don't!" pleaded Shearson, with such a shaken flabbiness of vehemence that both Hal and Ellis laughed, though the former felt an uneasy puzzlement. The article and editorial on the Pierce accident had appeared in a Thursday's "Clarion." In their issues of the following day, the other morning papers dealt with the subject most delicately.
"At what cottage?" "Mrs. Burke's, not far from the station." "May I come to see you there?" Herminia's clear brown eyes gazed down at him, all puzzlement. "Why, surely," she answered; "I shall be delighted to see you!" She paused for a second. "We agree about so many things," she went on; "and it's so rare to find a man who can sympathize with the higher longings in women."
For she received this overt notification of the success of his quest without one sign other than a look of dawning puzzlement. "Madame la comtesse...?" she murmured with a rising inflection. "But monsieur is mistaken," the other stammered, biting her lip. "Surely one cannot have been so stupid!" Lanyard apologised. "But this is Mademoiselle Delorme," Athenais said ... "Monsieur Paul Martin."
"Why, yes what makes you ask that? Of course I am; that is " Josephine twisted in his arms, so that she could look into his face. She did not laugh at him, however. She was staring at him with that keen, measuring look which had so incensed him, when he had first met her. "I don't understand you at all, Ford," she said at last, with a frown of puzzlement. "I never have, for that matter.
