The State chairman laid his hand protestingly on the young man's arm. "You've got my sympathy in regard to your going to the legislature in this fashion. But let me say something to you. Thelismer Thornton is standing here to-day putting up as pretty a political fight as I ever looked on. I hope he'll change his mind about sending you. I'll talk with him again.
"Oh, Jane, Jane!" cried her mother, protestingly, "how can you act that way when there is so much to be done, and when your father is feeling so much worse than usual? Where were those pillows left, anyway? Come, come!" Jane rose to her knees and tried to wipe her face with the piece of wall-paper. Then her mother lifted her up and led her out through the hall.
Then again it seemed to her that there was no possible excuse for any cooking short of the best. "Why should a beefsteak be scorched?" she would ask protestingly. "It is only a question of attention and honesty. Why should the aroma be boiled out of a pot of coffee? Again, it is only a matter of attention and honesty."
Realism is imperative to my nature, and the bourgeois spirit hates realism. The bourgeoisie is cowardly. It is afraid of life. And all your effort was to make me afraid of life. You would have formalized me. You would have compressed me into a two-by- four pigeonhole of life, where all life's values are unreal, and false, and vulgar." He felt her stir protestingly.
Frothingham reminded her, his long gloved hands laid trimly along his knees as before, "you are in my care." The statue problem faded from the lady's eyes.

We are going to see 'Tabnit." St.
In the twisted squint of his small clay face one reads slight regard for mere systems and codes." He paused so long that she prompted him in a voice that threatened to become unsteady. "Tell me more about him. What is his godship's name?" "He looked so protestingly wise," Benton went on, "that I named him Jonesy. I liked that name because it fitted him so badly.
Protestingly he said: "It's hardly fair to attack a man because he admires you." "He shows his admiration in a most offensive way. If you could see the way he looks at me sometimes you'd be the first to resent it." Kenneth laughed. "Oh, you mustn't mind that. It's a way all foreigners have. They ogle women more from force of habit than any desire to effect a conquest. Besides, you won't be alone."
Westlake, who loved comfort like a cat, protestingly rolled out at night for country calls, and hunted through his collar-box for his G. A. R. button. Carol did not quite know what she thought about Kennicott's going. Certainly she was no Spartan wife. She knew that he wanted to go; she knew that this longing was always in him, behind his unchanged trudging and remarks about the weather.
"Her husband!" cried Susan Fitzgerald protestingly; "why, she hasn't been married six months." Mrs. Leveridge's smile showed more than a tinge of patronage. "If you'd ever been married yourself, Susan, you'd know that six months was enough, quite enough. If he's that kind of a man, six weeks is about as long as he can keep on his good behavior." "He hasn't been beating her, has he?" asked Mrs.
The only thing to do when Mr Breitstein came up in the course of chitchat over the festive board was to stay quiet until he blew over. 'That old American you met at Marvis Bay, said Claire, her memory flitting back to the remark which she had interrupted; 'well, there's another case. You could easily have got him to do something for you. 'Claire, really! said his goaded lordship, protestingly.
