They were discussing the affray, he knew, and a word here and there told him that the causes of the encounter were well to the fore.

The orders were obeyed, but the generals again met, and sent off a messenger to l'Echelle to remonstrate against the attack in one mass, and a march by a single road, on a position that could be attacked by several routes; and to recommend that at least a diversion should be made, by a false attack. Westermann himself carried this remonstrance, but the commander-in-chief paid no attention to him.
As for the Remonstrance to the States of Holland, although most respectfully received in that assembly except by the five opposition cities, its immediate effect on the public was to bring down a fresh "snow storm" to use the expression of a contemporary of pamphlets, libels, caricatures, and broadsheets upon the head of the Advocate.
Barclay, upon hearing the story, cordially approved of what the boys had done; and Captain Barclay having in spite of Tim's earnest remonstrance that it was of no consequence in the world put some wet rags upon the most serious of the wounds, bandaged up his head, and sent him at once to bed.
Whereupon, with more apologies, Don Lopez empties the money on the table and carefully counts it, and there being but about a score of gold pieces and some silver, he shakes his head and says a few words to Don Sanchez in a very reproachful tone of remonstrance, to which our Don replies by turning all the trifles out of his pocket, one after the other, to prove that he has no money.

At this point it may be urged that those exercises which quicken the action of the thoracic viscera, to any considerable degree, are simply exhaustive.
Though it was my frequent and well-known custom to spend twilight in the garden, yet, never till now, had I remained so late. Full sure was I that Madame had missed was come in search of me, and designed now to pounce on the defaulter unawares. I expected a reprimand. No. Madame was all goodness. She tendered not even a remonstrance; she testified no shade of surprise.
He went from room to room and gave the same orders, and, after a while, succeeded in turning the paper-hangers and painters out of the house. Fenwick had followed him from room to room, making every now and then an attempt at remonstrance; but the Squire had paid no attention either to his words or to his presence.
Marsden locked the door, and, in plain and forcible terms, gave Captain King a thoroughgoing remonstrance on the faults of Governor King, which was taken in perfect good part. Nevertheless, the whole construction of Society was so atrocious, that nothing could effect any improvement but interference from higher authority.
Then he sent her back by the one semblance of a path which ran through the forest, and himself rode on to his hunters. All doorways, Before going forward, Should be looked to; For difficult it is to know Where foes may sit Within a dwelling. Ha'vama'l. "Once more, Lord Sebert, be exhorted to turn back," old Morcard spurred forward to offer a last remonstrance as city gates yawned before them.
