Hi

A man came into a house of a certain lady. He surprised her and she almost fainted. He said:


I’m so dreadfully sorry,’ he said, over and over again. ‘I saw the lights . . . and heard the wood ripping; I couldn’t think. You were the very last person . . .’He pulled a cushion out from under the dust sheet on which she lay and put it behind her head. ‘And now,’ he said, ‘over all

your protests, you’re going to have some brandy.’

1. Does it mean "I didn't realize" ...
2. Does it mean "Despite all your protests" ...
