While Maurice was considering how to expostulate with them, Krafft came swiftly up behind, jerked two of the children apart, and, with a deft and perfectly noiseless movement, caught up the cat and hid its head under his coat.

After this, at this moment, with such words ringing in his ears, Ralph found it to be impossible to expostulate with his father.

"The Surgeon-General has no authority to send a young girl down there alone." "She is not going alone." "Who is going with her?" she asked, tartly. "I am." "Who are you?"

Thereupon a deputation repaired to the town-hall to expostulate with the Municipal Commission for closing the gates, whereby they would only irritate the insurgents. Rougon, who was losing his head, defended his order with all his remaining strength.
If the Trades blow high, and you came unawares upon the spot, you would think Keevi himself pushing you forward with all his hands; so powerful is the current of air rushing through this elevated defile. But expostulate not with the tornado that blows you along; sail on; but soft; look down; the land breaks off in one sheer descent of a thousand feet, right down to the wide plain below.
Help!" cried Taggert, and then his cries were smothered. "Don't hurt him!" cautioned the professor, calling into the darkness to Washington.
