"I believe you, sir, and I feel certain that no one ever thought of objecting to your laughing." My answer, rather a sharp one, made Madame de Pompadour laugh, and she asked me whether I truly came from down there. "What do you mean by down there?" "I mean Venice." "Venice, madam, is not down there, but up there."
So that muleteer was dismissed and retired, conscientiously objecting in terms abusive and obscene; while the man who had had the wit to bring a mule already saddled was promptly engaged in his place.
Then, suddenly, after about two hours' argument, it dawned on me that they were not objecting to the thing, but to the name.
The words nearly stuck in his throat; and indeed had any other addressed such a phrase to one of his kith and kin there would have been an explosion of rage; but now he was determined to show to Sheila that her husband had some cause for objecting to this girl sitting down with his friends.
This is precisely what the Black Power advocates of the late sixties claimed had happened to the civil rights movement, and they gave the same reasons for its collapse. In 1947, Randolph cooperated with Grant Reynolds in organizing the League for Non-Violent Civil Disobedience Against Military Segregation; its aim was to encourage draft resisters objecting to serving in a segregated army.
He had never thought of objecting to this journey, but he might have objected. Many a man would have objected. This was their honeymoon hers and his.

Only give a woman love, and there is nothing she will not venture, suffer, and do. "No, they have done with objecting. They have remembered at last that I am of age, and that I can choose for myself.
The conviction was reiterated that there was no ground for the charge against Captain Matthews, the malignity and falsity of which was due to political hostility to that gentleman. A lively debate ensued on the motion to receive the report, members of the Government fiercely objecting to its reception by the House, and the Opposition as warmly insisting on its acceptance.
The Duke, however, was too well acquainted with his royal master's character to apprehend any real firmness of resistance from him; but he knew that a great majority of the clergy, and no small portion of the country gentlemen, were conscientiously and immovably fixed in opposition to any concession at all, some refusing to regard the question in any but a purely religious light, and objecting to associate in the task of legislation for those whom they regarded as adherents of an idolatrous superstition; while those who mingled political reasoning with that founded on theology dwelt also on the danger to be apprehended to the state, if political power were given to those whose allegiance to the King was divided with another allegiance which they acknowledged to a foreign prelate.
