You've let out in spite of yourself a secret that tormented you furiously, and you came here to get it back again. You thought that perhaps Monsieur Plantat had not told it to anybody, and you wanted to prevent him from speaking again forever." Robelot made a sign of protesting. "Shut up now," said M. Lecoq. "And your cutlass?" While this conversation was going on, M. Plantat reflected.
Pomfret get in, Alice." Mrs. Pomfret, still protesting against the profane interruption to Mr. Crewe's speech, bent her head to enter Mr. Crewe's booby sleigh, which had his crest on the panel. Alice was hustled in next, but Victoria avoided his ready assistance and got in herself, Mr. Crewe getting in beside her. "Au revoir," she called out to Austen, as the door slammed.
The clock on the mantelpiece ticked steadily for an endless five minutes. Then Cecil spoke: "I suppose," she said harshly, "you expect me to be grateful for this!" The sound of her voice was like a blow. Claire looked up, startled, protesting. "Oh, Cecil, surely you would rather know?" "Should I?" Cecil asked slowly.
He returned in a ludicrous state of penitence and emaciation, frankly admitting that it was better to work hard and get 'plenty grub', than to work less and get none; still, however, protesting against work at all. January 7th. For the last four days it has again been blowing a wintry hurricane. I hope my long yarns won't bore you.
Upon this, I interposed: 'Pray, ma'am, don't imagine that you have anything but sympathy from me. but as I was protesting, having my mouth open, the terrible Miss Alice dragged the laughter remorselessly out of me. They have been trying Frank's new boat, Mr. Pollingray, and they've upset it. Oh! oh' and again there was the woodpeckers' chorus.
But he stopped in what he felt to be an unlucky speech at sight of her face, which without movement expressed so much more than his words. He was protesting as a civilized man; her face was the protest of Nature, the soundless declaration of beauty wasted against its will, beauty that was life's invitation to the embrace which gave life birth.
Mrs. S , having put on her clothes, sat up all night by my bedside, and was so good as to assure me that she would not leave me until I should be safely delivered from the apprehensions that surrounded me in this house, to which she and the doctor had been the principal cause of my coming; for my lord had haunted and importuned them incessantly on this subject, protesting that he loved me with the most inviolable affection; and all he desired was, that I would sit at his table, manage his family, and share his fortune.
But James and his ministers, even while protesting that they did not mean to be importunate, contrived to hint, very intelligibly, what they wished and expected. In the French ambassador they had a dexterous, a zealous, and perhaps, not a disinterested intercessor. Lewis made some difficulties, probably with the design of enhancing the value of his gifts.
"Forward!" he called blithely and boldly to the officer; while Crates, with loud lamentations, was protesting his innocence to the warrior who was putting fetters upon him. A chain was just being clasped around Hermon's wrists also when he suddenly started.
Ere sunrise Mantua was full of Frederick's soldiers, full also of burning houses, rifled sanctuaries, violated damsels, children playing with their dead mothers' breasts, especially full of citizens protesting that they had ever longed for the restoration of the Emperor, and that this was the happiest day of their lives.
