"It is Isabel Ainslee, and it is a beautiful name." "I quite agree with you. Now, Molly, answer me. How many cakes can you buy two for three cents apiece?" Molly looked at Polly. This was a puzzler surely. "Two," she ventured uncertainly. Uncle Dick looked at her penetratingly. "That might be the answer under some circumstances," he said.
And the engine, having drunk its fill, changed its labored breathing to a hissing and swishing of steam that sent the hot vapor far on both sides, and then gathering speed, puffed its swift way back the road by which it had come, leaving the car deserted on a siding. "Here's a go!" cried Fitzhugh. "A regular puzzler!" "Guess it's none of the gang, after all," said Lockhart. Abrams shook his head.
Now, Phadrick, you quadruped, the case of conscience is, whether Parra Ghastha has a right to make restitution to Barny Branagan for the loss of his goats, or Barny Branagan to Parra Ghastha for the loss of his mare?" "Bedad, that's a puzzler!" "Isn't it, Phadrick? But wait till you hear how he'll clear it up! Do it for Phadrick, Dinny."
Then comes the ears, two of 'em, somewhat longish so, not exactly fore an' aft, as I've made 'em, but ath'ort ships, so to speak, only I never could understand how painters manage to make one thing look as if it was behind another. I can't get behind the one ear to put on the other one nohow." "A puzzler!" ejaculated Sally. "Just so.
"Why, you remember, mother, before goin' abroad I set my heart on these two gettin' spliced; but I fear it's no go. Sometimes I think they looks fond o' one another, at other times I don't. It's a puzzler. They're both young an' good-lookin' an' good. What more would they have?" "Perhaps they want money," suggested the old woman.
"Probably," agreed Tom. "But what could he or they want with wooden braces?" That was a puzzler for Mr. Damon, but he answered: "Perhaps they wanted to damage your boat and those two men were mad because the other got ahead of them." "Taking out the braces wouldn't do much damage. I can easily put others in. All it would do would be to cause the tank to sag down and maybe cause a leak in the pipe.
"I t'ink it am a puzzler," replied the negro, his face twisted up into wrinkles of perplexity. "I's puzzled to hear dat massa tell a big lie by sayin' he's a beggar, an' den show dat it's a lie by offerin' to pay for de kurnel's darter's dresses. It's koorious, but white folk has sitch koorious ways dat it's not easy to understan' dem. Let's be t'ankful, Sooz'n, you an' me, that we're bof black."
"Yes as a fellow never listened before." "Expectant like?" "Yes, I should call it expectant." "Does the nurse know this?" "The nurse is a puzzler." "How so?" "Half nurse and half but go see for yourself. Here's a package to take in, medicine from the drug store. Tell her there was no one else to bring it up. She'll show no surprise."
I can get you a berth in my ship, if you're willin' to take a trip to the whale fishery of the South Seas." "And who will look after my mother when I'm away?" said I. The sailor looked perplexed at the question. "Ah! that's a puzzler," he replied, knocking the ashes out of his pipe. "Will you take me to your mother's house, lad?" "Willingly," said I, and, jumping up, I led the way.
Then the other drops a gentle clew to his late movements by asking John which arm it was upon which he was recently vaccinated, which is a puzzler to the young fellow until the name of Malta is mentioned, when he cries: "Were you at Valetta, father?" "I reached there two days after you left. Bless me, the whole town was still talking over a brave deed that had recently saved a child's life."
