The boy's musings profited him nothing; the more he tried to unriddle the mystery the more perplexed he became, the more his head ached, and the worse he slept. His impatience to get to London grew hourly, and his captivity became almost unendurable. Hendon's arts all failed with the King he could not be comforted; but a couple of women who were chained near him succeeded better.
It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles; it will make clear and simple many things which are involved in haunting and harassing difficulties and obscurities now. Those of us who are not in the asylum, and not demonstrably due there, are nevertheless, no doubt, insane in one or two particulars. I think we must admit this; but I think that we are otherwise healthy-minded.
Seeing this table full, I desired my guide, for variety, to lead me to the fabulous apartment, the roof of which was painted with Gorgons, Chimeras, and Centaurs, with many other emblematical figures, which I wanted both time and skill to unriddle. The first table was almost full.
He was a logician as well as a poet, and is fabled to have died of vexation because he could not unriddle one of the metaphysical catches or puzzles of the sophists. The island was one of the most ancient colonies of the Dorians, and the Syracusan scholar found himself among a people who spoke his own broad and liquid dialect.
M. Lontane and all his squad were given peremptory orders to unriddle the enigma. Meanwhile the fishless market continued. It was not entirely fishless, for before the bell rang we would see over the railings a few handfuls of varos, crayfish, and shrimps and perhaps a dozen small baskets of oysters.
While this bustling, vivacious personage, who approaches us with such a springy step, and rapid merry glance, has never known a day's illness is indebted to hearsay for his belief in nerves and is ready to challenge Europe to beat him at a hearty guffaw he is perplexed by the shadow of a long face, marvels with all his might at a heavy eye, and cannot unriddle the philosophy of a bent brow.
"I'll make one last attempt to unriddle it, however," answered Link, with a confidence he was far from feeling, "but, of course not being one of your impossible detectives of fiction I may fail." "You are certain to fail," said Lucian decisively, and with this disheartening prophecy he left Link to his task of apparently spinning ropes of sand.
Some thought had been in my mind of late that in my position it was my duty to unriddle the mystery of the closed cell. This was a sop timidly held out to and rejected by my better reason. I sought and I knew it in my heart solution of the puzzle, because it was a puzzle with an atmosphere that vitiated my moral fibre.
Had the numerous commentators and priests, who have foolishly employed or wasted their time in pretending to expound and unriddle those books, been carred into captivity, as Ezekiel and Daniel were, it would greatly have improved their intellects in comprehending the reason for this mode of writing, and have saved them the trouble of racking their invention, as they have done to no purpose; for they would have found that themselves would be obliged to write whatever they had to write, respecting their own affairs, or those of their friends, or of their country, in a concealed manner, as those men have done.
"Oh, everywhere," said the young lady "the whole is a wild dream." "Well then, I will try to unriddle it." He gave a brief sketch of the fate and prospects of Bertram, to which Julia listened with an interest which she in vain endeavoured to disguise "Well," concluded her father, "are your ideas on the subject more luminous?" "More confused than ever, my dear sir," said Julia.
