Gould's readers can on the race-course, but those great works, Stymied and The Foozle on the Fifth Tee, leave me cold. My lack of interest in racing explains my lack of interest in racing novels, but why is there no twenty million public for Off-side and Fouled on the Touchline? It is a mystery. Though I have never read a racing novel, I can imagine it quite easily.
I will skip lightly over the intermediate stages of Cuthbert's courtship and come to the moment when at the annual ball in aid of the local Cottage Hospital, the only occasion during the year on which the lion, so to speak, lay down with the lamb, and the Golfers and the Cultured met on terms of easy comradeship, their differences temporarily laid aside he proposed to Adeline and was badly stymied.
Caring less about the plants, Gabriele was eager to witness dog meets boy and boy makes dog into a friend but the joy was stymied in stepping inside the house. When they went in they saw mercurial Mr. Petulant executing punishment against the son of Mr. Phlegmatic. Nathaniel had Rick's head under the running water of the faucet.
The thing that had stymied me viz. that this girl was obviously all loaded down with ideals and sentiment and what not was quite in order as far as he was concerned.
He upbraided himself and stymied his thoughts immediately. He didn't want to think any bad thoughts about his sister. He had no right to think them. Instead, he desperately thought that he should marry a woman and have a family of his own, thereby enveloping himself in a world of forgetfulness.
"What is your idea?" "Got it last night as I was lying awake. It struck me that, if either of us was to clear out of this place, the other would have a fair chance. You know what I mean with Her. At present we've got each other stymied.
For a moment after she had gone Mortimer remained very still, looking at the glistening circle in his hand. I stole across the room and patted his shoulder. "Bear up, my boy, bear up!" I said. He looked at me piteously. "Stymied!" he muttered. "Be brave!" He went on, speaking as if to himself. "I had pictured ah, how often I had pictured! our little home! Hers and mine.
"They still have one enemy to go, an enemy within themselves. Call it semantic confusion, or illogic, or incomprehension, or just plain stupidity. Like Klarnood, stymied by verbal objections to something labeled 'political intervention. He'd never have consented to use the power of his Society if he hadn't been shocked out of his inhibitions by that nuclear bomb.
He didn't like it, and there was no apparent reason for it. But that didn't help him to get rid of it. Scotty knew Rick from long experience. "Wish I could help," he said, "but I'm stymied. There's nothing we can get our teeth into. Those two scientists bother me. I can't imagine what would put two perfectly sensible and healthy people into a state like Steve describes." "Same here."
We had to ford a stream three or four feet deep, the Vaitapiha, and the struggle through it was a rare pleasure, the child on the back of the animal, and I with the reins and a purau twig directing and commanding in vain. We had to leap into the water and remove a boulder or two that stymied the wheels.
