"Uncle," said Mabel in a mournful voice and with an expostulatory manner, "my poor father is sadly, sadly hurt!" "True, Magnet, true; I will sit by him, and do my best at consolation. Are the bars well fastened, girl? for on such an occasion the mind should be tranquil and undisturbed." "We are safe, I believe, from all but this heavy blow of Providence."
Bracing up after removing the moisture from his forehead, he took on an expostulatory tone. "See here, Druce, hang it all, don't shove a man into a corner. Suppose I asked you to go to Mrs. Ed. and tell her not to fret about trifles, do you suppose she wouldn't, just because you wanted her not to? Come now!" Druce's silence encouraged the General to take it for assent. "Very well, then.
Not aware of her real danger, Lady Clonbrony was, on the opposite side, in continual apprehension every time she opened her lips, lest some treacherous a or e, some strong r, some puzzling aspirate or non-aspirate, some unguarded note, interrogative, or expostulatory, should betray her to be an Irishwoman.

"But you will unsettle her." "I hope not. And how is papa's little Polly?" This question he addressed to Paulina, as he sat down and placed her gently on the ground before him.
It was evident that the men were disconcerted, and an expostulatory murmur rose from them. It ceased, however, when Nasmyth waved his hand. "I had to do it, boys," he declared. It had cost them strenuous toil to drive that heading, but one could have fancied that they were satisfied with the terse assurance he offered them.
He strode theatrically up to our table and addressing me as “Young Ulysses” proposed I should go outside on the fields of asphalt and help him gather a few marguerites to decorate a truly infernal supper which was being organized across the road at the Maison Dorée—upstairs. With expostulatory shakes of the head and indignant glances I called his attention to the fact that I was not alone.
Porter swung around toward it and called: "Need help?" After a moment's wait, a voice replied: "Yes. You tow me to Chicago. I pay you." It was a voice which Orme recognized as that of the Japanese who had been with Maku in the attack at the Père Marquette. "Can't do that," answered Porter. "I'll take you in to Evanston." "No!"

When they rose from the table, she would have again escaped, but when George left his wine and followed her, she consented, at his urgent, almost expostulatory request, to walk once round the garden with him. As soon as they were out of sight of the windows, he began in the tone of one whose love it is that prompts rebuke.
Madame ne descendra pas ici?" said Francois, the footman of Madame de Fleury, with a half expostulatory, half indignant look, as he let down the step of her carriage at the entrance of a dirty passage, that led to one of the most miserable-looking houses in Paris. "But what can be the cause of the cries which I hear in this house?" said Madame de Fleury.
Returning overwhelmed with sophistries and "explanations" from his expostulatory interview, Peter decided he knew more about quartz leads than about business and the disgorging of gains, so he went over into Idaho to try again. There he found the famous Antelope Gap lode. This time he determined to sell outright and have nothing more to do with the matter after the transfer of the property.
