He expostulated the while that the thing was impossible, because it had never been done before in this part of the country. It was rather a weird shape, but I left the girls to trim it and went to the church to help decorate. The bell was to follow upon completion. It failed to follow and after waiting an hour or so I sent for it. The girls came carrying one trimmed bell and one half covered.
"Oh, I don't want any breakfast, mother," he shouted. "But you cannot go without your breakfast. You'll be sick." "But just think!" expostulated Harry. "The things have been there all night." "It makes no difference," said Mrs. Loudon. "You must have your breakfast first." Mr. Loudon now put in a word, and Selim was led back to the stable.
But he can gallop a bit; he can go like a quarterhorse, an' stay till the cows come home; but he's like Lauzanne acrost yonder, he's got a bee in his bonnet an' it takes a divil to ride him." "That's hard on me, Mike," expostulated Allis. "You see, Lauzanne goes better with me in the saddle than any of the boys," she explained to Mortimer.
In vain Adelle expostulated, declared there was a mistake, even introduced to the cashier "my husband," who looked uncomfortable, but tried to assume authority and demanded reasons for the bank's treatment of his wife. All the reason lay in that brief cablegram. The couple at last turned dejectedly into the street and again got into Adelle's runabout, which obviously was in need of more petrol.
These were like maritime roadsteads where boats might anchor completely concealed from view. There the galleys of the Berbers had often hidden, in order to fall unexpectedly upon a nearby village. In one of these caves, on a rocky pedestal, Ulysses often saw a heap of bundles. "Well, now, what of it!" expostulated the doctor. "Every man must gain his living as best he can."
Francisco had witnessed scenes of horror until his young blood curdled: he had expostulated to save, but in vain. Disgusted with the captain and the crew, and their deeds of cruelty, he had latterly expressed his opinions fearlessly, and defied the captain; for, in the heat of an altercation, Cain had acknowledged that Francisco was not his son.
We might dispose of quite a number of their small carvings and articles de Paris, with which the market among the townspeople is decidedly overstocked. The company on Wednesday will be less familiar with them: they will serve as mementoes, and the prices, I daresay, will not be too closely considered." "Sir, I beg of you " General Rochambeau expostulated. "Eh?"
He was always ready to sympathize with Ellen, and once or twice expostulated with Joanna but his loyalty showed no signs of wavering. As time went on, Ellen began to like him more in himself. She grew accustomed to his red hair and freckles, and when he was in his everyday kit of gaiters and breeches and broadcloth, she did not find him unattractive.
Her spirits were unequal; and it required a daily and unceasing effort to go about quietly, as she used to do. More than once she startled herself and others by sudden and violent bursts of weeping, for which, as she truly said, she could give no reason. In vain she expostulated with herself; in vain she called herself ungrateful and capricious. The weary weight would not be reasoned away.
In two or three moments she and her father returned with a line, but again expostulated. "Mr. Gregory, the risk is too great." "You can't prevent it," said he, firmly. "I absolve you from all responsibility. I take the risk in spite of you. Make haste see how it's burning. There, that will do. Stand back." Even as he spoke he was climbing.
