In fact, I'm as miserable as it is possible to be!" "Come now, Robin, don't exaggerate," said Sam in a remonstrative tone. "Hyperbole is very objectionable, especially in young men. You know that if you were tied to a huge gridiron over a slow fire, you would be more miserable than you are at present."
His father, remonstrative, but covertly proud of the excess, had paid his bills and brought him home. It was at Cambridge that he had met Segouin. They were not much more than acquaintances as yet but Jimmy found great pleasure in the society of one who had seen so much of the world and was reputed to own some of the biggest hotels in France.
"We are men of war," growled one of the men, "an' don't want no friends, Christian or otherwise." "We came to offer you hospitality," returned the missionary in a remonstrative tone.
Passing the withered tree, Mr. Barrett deserved thanks from Freshfield, if he did not obtain them; for he lingered, surrendering his place. And then Adela knew that the weight of Edward Buxley's remonstrative wrath had fallen on silent Emilia, to whom she clung fondly. "I have had a letter," Edward murmured, in the voice that propitiates secresy.
"How? what do you mean?" asked Pedro, raising himself on his elbow at this, so as to look straightly as well as gravely at his friend. "I mean that the religion of such men must be false," growled the Indian, somewhat defiantly. "Now, Tiger," returned his friend in a remonstrative tone, "that is not spoken with your usual wisdom.

"Terry!" came the voice of the untidy man, meant to be remonstrative but chiefly noteworthy for a newly acquired thickness of utterance. Terry's eyes sparkled and a hot flush came into her cheeks.
"A pretty boast for a man in present safety," remarked the Hebrew, with a remonstrative shake of the head. "Most true," returned the prince, flushing; "I spoke in haste, yet it was not altogether a boast, for I could challenge Gadarn to single combat, and no right-minded chief could well refuse to let the issue of the matter rest on that."
"I suspect I should have died but for your thoughtful care, Dougall," I said, gratefully, as the good fellow assisted to place me in the vehicle and wrap the buffalo robes around me. "Hoots! Muster Maxby," was the remonstrative reply. Big Otter placed himself in front of the cortege to beat the track. The dogs followed him with the sleigh-bells ringing merrily.
"To our astonishment, the great creature does nothing but stand still, hold himself up, and roar, yes, roar: a long, serious, remonstrative roar. How is this? He is muzzled! The bailies had proclaimed a general muzzling, and his master, studying strength and economy mainly, had encompassed his huge jaws in a home-made apparatus, constructed out of the leather of some ancient breeching.
They entered the little gray house again, just in time to hear remonstrative squeaks from the E string of the diminutive violin, blended with disheartened moans from the A and growls of protest from the G string. "How did you like that?" inquired Charlie, calmly. "It was very noisy," criticised Constance. "It was a very hard passage to play," explained the embryo musician, soberly.
