distracted

“Plenty of accidents happened with a look-out present but momentarily distracted.”

“Runs about the house like a distracted person crying and making a most hideous noise.”

“There'll be a procession— bands— dead march— bells tolling— all the girls in tears— Yum-Yum distracted— then, when it's all over, general rejoicings, and a display of fireworks in the evening.”
