M. de Chaumareys, while we were doubling Cape Barbas, presided at the farce performed in passing the Tropic, while he who had gained his confidence, was walking up and down the deck of the frigate, coolly observing the numerous dangers, spread along the coast. Several persons remonstrated against this management of the vessel, particularly Mr.
"Well, what's the matter with being genial with your old cockney until he gets in the habit of coming here every night, and bide your time until, without his knowing it, you can turn a blast from the furnace on him that will simply rend him to pieces?" "By Jove!" I cried, delightedly. "You are a genius, old chap." I rose and shook his hand until he remonstrated.
Indeed Ivan had at first begged to relieve his chief of some of his younger pupils without remuneration of any kind: a suggestion which Nicholas was far too generous to permit. Instead, he remonstrated, earnestly, at Ivan's taking upon himself this extra amount of work; for, while teaching was his own forte, Ivan's nature, as he well knew, was capable of higher things.
Even his own father had not understood this son, who devoured books as ravenously as his dogs devoured salmon. Again and again he remonstrated with him for wasting his time when he might be working for the company.

"That's what I went after, wasn't it? A sight of the Swedish girl's phisamahogany?" "Gummy!" remonstrated his sister. "But was it Olga?" demanded Janice, too deeply interested in the subject of Olga to be patient with sisterly reproof. "Oh, say! How can I be sure of that? I never saw her before." "Tell us all about it, Gummy," urged Janice. "Why, you see," said the excited boy.
And albeit repeatedly remonstrated with, she, upon such occasions, invariably turned imploring glances a sort of frowning entreaty to the ladies, or to any of her sex present. "Did you not see that? Oh! can you resist it?" she seemed to gasp, as she made those fruitless efforts to drag them to her conscious level. "Sink thou, if thou wilt," was the phrase indicated to her.
