Seldom have I read such a ridiculous, solemn, addlepated Joseph Surface of a thing. |
Seems to me you're an addlepated young fellow for a detective. |
He wrote to Zio Giacomo, who said he was an addlepated and clot-headed imbecile. |
Getting nowhere with the suavely smirking Murrow, she placidly lets the matter drop: if literalists want to regard her as addlepated, that's not her affair. |
Not only was he direfully cursing the trio, but also the addlepated Medcroft and his own addlepated self. |
So the next time you call someone addlebrained or addlepated, smile to yourself, for you are saying more about that person than that person might suspect. |
