At this moment an approaching tumult is heard. Theä drops the curtain, and Gorgias with his friends, heated with Cyprus wine, enters, accompanied by the 'myrmidons of the law. He again demands the statues, for which Phidias has already received his gold. Phidias expostulates, then entreats, no, Gorgias will have his statues.
At first he expostulates, accusing the slave of the brother, who has mistaken his identity, of being crazy and offers to exorcise him by a sacrifice of weanling pigs, wherefore he asks the question quoted in the text. Varro was evidently fond of this passage, as he quotes it again, post, p. 221.
Wolcot was especially angry at the alleged interference of royalty in the election. In his satiric poem The Rights of Kings, he expostulates ironically with certain academicians who ventured to oppose the nominee of the Court: 'How, sirs, on majesty's proud corns to tread! Messieurs ACADEMICIANS, when you're dead, Where can your impudences hope to go? 'Refuse a monarch's mighty orders!
Dan digs it up an' takes it by the laigs; Enright meanwhile cussin' him out, fervent an' nervous, for he fears some locoed Greaser will cut loose every moment an' mebby crease a gent, an' so leave it incumbent on the rest of us to desolate Chihuahua. "'It's for Nell, expostulates Dan, replyin' to Enright's criticisms. 'I knows she wants it by the way she grabs my coat that time.
But at last, when by the care of his friends and physic he was freed from his distemper and become his own man again, he thus expostulates with them, "Now, by Pollux, my friends, you have rather killed than preserved me in thus forcing me from my pleasure." By which you see he liked it so well that he lost it against his will.
No crowd of Pressmen and sightseers is present; there are no delegates and address, and flowers, and cheers as of yore. Only cabby, who expostulates, and who doubtless thinks this Frenchman a bit of a crank to insist upon being driven just around the corner! And at the hotel no army of servants appears to marshal the master to the best suite of rooms on the principal floor.
The thought that concerns us here is best expressed by the enlightened English peer, Lord B., who thus expostulates with Baron d'Etange: Let us judge of the past by the present; for two or three citizens who win distinction by honest means, a thousand knaves every day get their families ennobled.
"What do you think of my typist, Burton?" He was putting a dish of make-believe before me it is a meatless day my one-legged cook is an artist but he thinks me a fool because I won't let him cheat our want of legs makes us friendly though. "And with a brother in the trade I could get Monsieur chickens and what he would wish!" he expostulates each week. "A-hem" Burton croaked.
Rama prosecutes his search after Sita. He fights with Bali, the king of the Monkeys, and triumphs over him. He now despatches Hanuman to Lanka, Hanuman pays a visit to Sita. He performs various feats at Lanka and returns to Rama whose hosts now advance towards Lanka. Vibhishana, the brother of Ravana, expostulates with his royal brother, but in vain.
In the first, he justly reflects on Gorgias, if he were what he was thought to be, a dissolute and profligate character; but in the other, he rather meanly expostulates and complains with Pelops, for neglecting to procure him a decree of certain honors from the Byzantines.
