They set aside the remonstrance of the army, without deigning to answer it; they voted the seizing of the king's person to be without their consent, and sent a message to the general, to know by what authority that enterprise had been executed; and they issued orders that the army should advance no nearer to London.
You see, she is absurdly anxious for my safety, and she has asked me to promise never to ride again, and I have given my word." A chorus of sympathetic remonstrance rose from the men. "Yes, I know," said Travers to her brother, "it is rough, but it just shows what sacrifices a man will make for the woman he loves."
Unreasonable, however, as the demand of Ahasuerus was, Vashti ought not to have been so peremptory. In such an age, and under such a government, a moment's consideration must have excited in her an apprehension of danger. Besides, it was not the time for remonstrance. She was no private character; it was, therefore, an injudicious resistance of his authority.
She did not heed his remonstrance, but went on eagerly, quite sure of her own meaning: "He shall be told everything, everything! Ought he to know what I heard about your share in the flight of the sisters?" "No, no; on no account!" cried Nilus and his master both at once; and Mary understood that her proposition was accepted.
As it was, he soon induced his friend to study in a more methodical way; they practised for the same number of hours in the forenoon, and met in the afternoon; and Krafft only sometimes broke through this arrangement, by appearing in the BRAUSTRASSE early in the morning, and, despite remonstrance, throwing himself on the sofa, and remaining there, while Maurice practised.

"Then you must all come to Clewes," decided Aunt Beatrice, after some remonstrance. "That'll settle it." "But my work!" ejaculated Ian in dismay. "How am I to get on at Clewes, away from the libraries?" "There are some things in life more important than books, Ian," returned Lady Thomson. "But it won't do a penn'orth of good," broke in Tims, argumentatively.
She had uttered this first word almost impetuously, but she was checked by the counter-agitation of feeling herself in an attitude of remonstrance towards the man who had been the source of guidance and strength to her. In the act of rebelling she was bruising her own reverence.
Why assume that those notions would be any the less worth hearing and heeding if they were cast in the form of criticism, and even of denunciation? Why hold that the God who can understand and forgive even treason could not understand and forgive remonstrance? The idea of literal truth crept into religion relatively late: it is the invention of lawyers, priests and cheese-mongers.
He wrote and published essays, epics, and histories of nobodies; but of all his writings, the only thing from his pen that is now read and enjoyed is a letter of remonstrance to his mother because he hears that she has joined "Jack's congregation of Methodists, and is a renegade from the true religion."
