I wonder does he take swimmin' to be wan of th' accomplishments of th' goat?" He shook his head in puzzlement, and frowned at the telegram. "Would he be havin' a goat regatta, I wonder, or was he expectin' th' goat t' be a web-footed animal? 'Won't swim! he repeated angrily. 'Won't swim! An' what is it to me if they won't swim? Nayther would I swim if I was a goat.
Clare waited a while on the narrow, closed-in, wooden stair, not a little wondering, and full of thought. His wonder, however, had no puzzlement in it. The child's behaviour involved no difficulty. The two existences came together, and each understood the other in virtue of its essential nature. In after years Clare could put the thing into such words; he sought none at the time.
I saw it by accident in your place the other night, and one o' your girls told me. Now then, Mr. Purdie, here's a bit more of puzzlement and perhaps a clue. These here platinum solitaire cuff-links are valuable they're worth well, I'd give a good few pounds for the pair. Now who's the man who lost one in this here parlour right there! and the other in Mrs. Goldmark's restaurant? For it's a pair!
But she in the meanwhile remained in the same inert position, standing listlessly beside the body of Menecreta, her face expressing puzzlement rather than horror, as if within her soul she was trying to reconcile the events of the last few moments with her previous conceptions of what the tenor of her life should be.
The Mayor did not know either, and the clerk, to judge by his countenance, was in an equal state of puzzlement. But Benbow was clearly not a man to be trifled with, and Joe had certainly had a part in bringing the Mohocks to book, and for one reason or another he was given the benefit of the doubt.
D'ye get me?" Billy scratched his head, on his face exaggerated puzzlement. "No, I don't get you," he said. "Now just what was it you said?" But the big blacksmith turned contemptuously away from him to Saxon. "Come here, you. Let's see your program." "Do you want to dance with him?" Billy asked. She shook her head. "Sorry, sport, nothin' doin'," Billy said, again making to start on.
"Oh, goody!" said Leonore, "I mean," she said, correcting herself, "that that is very kind of you." "And now the sixth?" "That must be a man of course," said Leonore, wrinkling up her forehead in the intensity of puzzlement. "And I know so few men." She looked out into space, and Peter had a moment's fear lest she should see the marquis, and name him.
Schuyler, in his eyes all the virile love that such as he feel for theirs, watched her vanish amid the throngs. Then, sauntering to the rail, leaned against it.... There came into his eyes a look of abstraction, of aberration, of puzzlement. Blake stood watching him stood for a long time, silent, unmoving.... At length he moved to Schuyler's side.
ETHEL B. WATSON, Nurse in Waiting. "The idea! Of course I won't! I wouldn't think of such a thing!" Hazel exclaimed. "Just a second," she said to the footman. Over on the parlor mantel lay some sheets of paper and envelopes. She borrowed a pencil from Barrow and scribbled a brief refusal. The footman departed with her answer. Hazel turned to find Jack staring his puzzlement. "What did he want?"
Into my drugged consciousness stole a sound that might have been wind in trees, or a mill race, or some industrious artisan busied with a saw, yet which I knew could be none of these, and my drowsy puzzlement grew.
