Here was a puzzler for la petite, but she was equal to the occasion, even though she was at London. "No conundrum, Colonel, with the Major as hare." "Gad, I must get rid of him; they all see it." "And they all do it, Colonel," tittered Blanche; "keep cool; the Major keeps cool to you;" this she said, liking the Colonel, but thinking him, to use her own expression, "soft."
We walked along, silent and thinking. Finally the king said: "When ye know that I meditate a thing inconvenient, or that hath a peril in it, why do you not warn me to cease from that project?" It was a startling question, and a puzzler.
I can easily descend with the cavalry, but how to get the wagons down there is a puzzler to me," said he. "By the time you've located your camp, your wagons shall be there," said I. "All right, Cody, I'll leave it to you, as you seem to want to be boss," replied he pleasantly. He at once ordered the command to dismount and lead the horses down the mountain-side.
"The first gang o' roustabout teamsters that I meet'll take every spoonful of the vittles, and I'd be lucky if I have the horse and wagon left. I must hide it some way. How? That's a puzzler." At length a happy idea occurred to him. He stopped by a cedar thicket, and with his jack-knife cut a big load of cedar boughs, which he piled on until every bit of food was thoroughly concealed.
The question was a puzzler. She didn't know why she hadn't, the thing had never come up in her mind. So here she was, forecasting the veritable history of future prisoners of the Castle d'If, without knowing it. It seemed plain to me now, that with her training, those inherited prisoners were merely property nothing more, nothing less.
What this has to do with me is a puzzler; but the man himself, and every Turk of patriotic age in the crowd, is evidently expecting to see me make some demonstration of approval; so, not knowing what else to do, I shake the man cordially by the hand, and modestly inform my attentively listening audience that Osman Pasha and myself are brothers, that Osman yielded only when the overwhelming numbers of the Muscovs proved that it was his kismet to do so; and that the Russians would never be permitted to occupy Constantinople; a statement, that probably makes my simple auditors feel as though they were inheriting a new lease of national life; anyhow, they seem not a little gratified at what I am saying.
Probably only Neil could supply the needed information, now that Dailey was dead. Went twenty yards strate for big rock. Eight feet direckly west. Fifty yards in direcksion of suthern Antelope Peke. Then eighteen to nerest cotonwood. All this was plain enough, but the last sentence was the puzzler. J. H. begins hear. Was J. H. a person? If so, what did he begin.
Now she can't be prisoned, 'cos cats won't be caught unless they want to be caught, and she doesn't want to be, of course. So she must be going about, so why don't you tell Tumbu to seek for Down; then we should find where Mirak was." "But we haven't got anything of Down's to show him," argued Foster-mother. And that was a puzzler.
"Why, sonny," returned David, knitting his brows very hard, for the question was somewhat of a puzzler, "he means that you've got to stow away in your brain the knowledge that's in the book, an' work away at it di-gest it, d'ee see same as you stow grub into yer stummick an' digest that." Billy pondered this a long time till a happy thought occurred to him.
He shook it, and money rattled; then he unlocked it, and poured out a little pile of silver. "There," said he, "put on your bonnet, and come and buy those things." She put on her bonnet, and on the way she asked how it came to be all in silver. "That is a puzzler," said he, "isn't it?" "And how did you make it, dear? by writing?" "No." "By fees from the poor people?" "What, undersell my brethren!
