Ea thereupon remonstrates with him, and he urges that in future the sinner only should be made to suffer for his sin; and, instead of again causing a flood, let there be discrimination in the divine punishments sent on men or lands. While the flood made the escape of the deserving impossible, other forms of punishment would affect the guilty only.

I shall give him a hint whilst he is eating his soup that I have made a vow to coiffer Ste. Catherine." "Virginia!" remonstrates Miss Susan; "and you know Sir Harry Hotspur is to take you."

"'Which Mexicans is not barred," replies Ormsby. "An' the vote of this yere enlightened maverick from south of the Rio Grande goes. Thirteen for Old Monroe." "'Twelve for Old Monroe," remonstrates Bronco Charlie, feelin' for his gun. "'Thirteen for Old Monroe," retorts Ormsby, as his Colt's comes into action an' he busts Bronco's arm at the elbow.

"No, thank you," she says. "Come, come," he remonstrates, "that won't do. You must have some supper. Shall Jane get you a cup of tea?"

Pompey rages, remonstrates, backs Scaurus, but whether only ostensibly or from the heart people don't feel sure. No one takes the lead: money reduces all to the same level.
