It was lost, for Bobus and Jock were rolling over together with too much noise to be bearable; Grandmamma turned round with an expostulatory "My dears," Mamma with "Boys, please don't when papa is tired- " "Jock is such a little ape," said Bobus, picking himself up. "Father, can you tell me why the moon draws up the tides on the wrong side?"
I've gone slack on purpose because that's how I want to be till nine o'clock. I've just eaten an enormous oyster stew with Rush. That's what we waited for." John frowned. "My dear, you'll have ruined your appetite for dinner." "I hope so," she said, "because I'm not to have any." At that, from the other two men, there began an expostulatory "No dinner!"
Speech arose about the late Earl of Gowrie, Ruthven’s father, whether by occasion of his portrait on the wall, or otherwise. ‘The King angrily said he was a traitor, whereat the youth showing a grieved and expostulatory countenance, and haplie Scotlike words, the King, seeing himself alone and without weapon, cried Treason!’ The Master placed his hand on James’s mouth, and knelt to deprecate his anger, but Ramsay stabbed him as he knelt, and Gowrie was slain, Preston said, after Ramsay had made him drop his guard by crying that the King was murdered.
The rest of it had been used for lighting a fire. Raeburn was a good deal annoyed. "Surely, my dear, such things might be prevented," he said, not crossly but in the sort of forbearing expostulatory tone which a woman dislikes more than anything, specially if she happens to be a careful housekeeper. "I told you it was your servants!" said Tom triumphantly.
Godwin, however, had occasion to write her philosophically expostulatory letters on her temper, which we must hope, for the children's sake, produced a satisfactory effect; for surely nothing can be more injurious to the happiness of children than to witness the ungovernable temper of their elders; but with Godwin's calm disposition, quarrels must have been one-sided, and consequently less damaging.
His face brightened when he saw its well-known yellow shine once more, but darkened again as soon as Robert told him to what service it was now devoted. 'It's my ain, he said, with a suppressed expostulatory growl. Robert threw the coin on the floor. 'Tak yer filthy lucre! he exclaimed with contempt, and turned to leave Shargar alone in the garret with his sovereign.
Let me tell the ladies, it is an impudent thing, begging their pardon, and as imprudent as impudent, for a wife to be in a passion, if she mean not eternal separation, or wicked defiance, by it: For is it not rejecting at once all that expostulatory meekness, and gentle reasoning, mingled with sighs as gentle, and graced with bent knees, supplicating hands, and eyes lifted up to your imperial countenance, just running over, that you should make a reconciliation speedy, and as lasting as speedy?
I want to blow the door off the peter, not the roof off the house. Say, who d'you think I am, a boob?" "I understand, then. Nitroglycerin? Denver, I'm not with you. It's mighty good of you to ask me to join in but that isn't my line of work." The yegg raised an expostulatory hand, but Terry went on: "I'm going to keep straight, Denver."
"I think I do; but when you have so much of it, the thing seems a little aimless, doesn't it?" "Aimless?" inquired Kinnaird, who appeared to ponder over this until a light broke in on him. "Well," he admitted, "I suppose it is. Still, what else could half of them do?" Ida laughed good-humoredly; and the man made a little expostulatory gesture. "I generally avoid any discussions of that kind.
Frequently the writer, as if Brandon had expressed himself sensible of this conviction, reproached him for unjust jealousy and unworthy suspicion. And the tone of the reproach varied in each letter; sometimes it was gay and satirizing; at others soft and expostulatory; at others gravely reasoning, and often haughtily indignant.
