"Take your hand off his mouth, Budge," ordered Jim, "and let him tell the captain what's happened." Thus adjured, Dolph spoke: "I've been taken prisoner, Captain. They jumped on me in the dark and I had a chance to fire only one shot. I think there's at least half a dozen of 'em, and they've got both our revolvers, so we haven't a chance. That's all there is to it."
I heard the ring of George Meredith's words: "Attila, my Attila!" But I saw the wild warrior Attila, fighting in Champagne, not the dead man adjured by Ildico, his bride. I saw him "short, swarthy, broad-chested," in his crude armour, his large head, "early gray," lifted like a wolf's at bay.
With this almost brilliantly tactful remark, she rose, gave Pollyooly the note, and adjured her to give it to Mr. Hilary Vance the moment he came in. "What time will Mr. Butterwick get here?" said Pollyooly anxiously. "There's no saying," said Flossie cheerfully. "But he'll get here as soon as the firm can spare him. He never loses time Reginald doesn't."
Hugh threw himself on the grass, hugged his legs with his arms, and, resting his chin on his knees, stared before him in stony silence. "Spit it out, old bus," Dick adjured him, "If you are in a scrape we are with you to a man aren't we?" he asked the others. A chorus of agreement brought a flicker of light into the gloom of Hugh's face. "I have been the biggest ass in the world," he said.
Thus adjured, the baby brought his vocalizing to that abrupt termination indicative of feeling not so deep-seated as to be entirely beyond control, and scrambled toward the door on all fours, breaking in upon the approaching planetary system, a somewhat dimmed and bedraggled comet. Mrs. Sproul picked him up, and looked around the room questioningly. "What's M'lissy doin', mother?"
"Between me and the lamp, the air looks solid with driving snow." "Sing one of your winter songs, Ralph," said the curate's wife. "This is surely stormy enough for one of your Scotch winters that you are so proud of." Thus adjured, Mr, Armstrong sang: "A morning clear, with frosty light From sunbeams late and low; They shine upon the snow so white, And shine back from the snow.
"Oh, now, you mustn't get down on your luck," he adjured her. "We're going to be awfully cozy here. Have you seen your room? It's just there, in a little alley to the right of the door. They say it has an even finer view than these windows. Oh, you needn't laugh this is the best view in the world, I'm told by those who know. And as a winter-resort, why " "I say, look here!"

The Inspector would make no promises but simply adjured him to make a clean breast of his share in the transaction. Lakshminarain obeyed, and his statement, interrupted by many sobs, was duly recorded. His accomplice was next introduced. At first Gyánendra was inclined to put a bold face on the matter, stoutly affirming that it was a put-up affair between Pulin and Rámtonu.
Adams from the Kilburn Laundry and numerous little friends from Marylebone, who had been washed and curled and crimped and adjured not to disgrace their parents, or father in the trenches would be told "as sure as I stand here."
