The amazing thing to me is that there was very little objection to the practice after the initial outrage died down.

Gillian's reminder silenced Huck's initial outrage over being "shipped" from place to place.

On the contrary, to use her death as a pretext to resume executions would only add a second indignity to the initial outrage of her murder.

The initial outrage at this further indignity was pushed aside by a burst of unexpected hope.

In fact, once he'd gotten over his initial outrage, Skeeter had been rather pleased at it.

Her eyes betrayed her shock: she'd been so sure he'd let her stay now his initial outrage had subsided.

He sighed, and forced himself to think beyond the initial outrage.

McRae, despite his initial outrage, did not appear menacing or threatening.

The offensive prospect of a scandal would have likely mitigated any judgment she made once her initial outrage had passed.

This, coupled with the beating Drizzt had given him earlier, had caused Wulfgar to question his initial outrage at the sight of a dark elf.
