"What ails you, man? what is it?" he asked, quickly and sternly; but at that moment the pale face of Robert Catesby appeared, and he was followed by a tall bearded man of very soldierly bearing, who said, in calm, authoritative accents: "I have here some holy water, blessed by the Pope himself. If we do but sprinkle the walls with that and bid the daring fiend cease, all will be well.
We had to wait for daylight. I hope you weren't too anxious about her, Hugh. Bella" he glanced over his shoulder "could you make us some hot coffee and help Sylvie into some dry clothes? We are properly drenched, both of us." This speaker of terse, authoritative sentences was not the boy that had gone out that morning. That boy was gone forever.

Harper's life to make that wig appear as his own hair. He talked, he raved, he remonstrated; I am very much afraid that he swore. Mr. Galloway laughed till the tears ran down his cheeks. The crowd was parted by an authoritative hand, and the same hand, gentle now, laid its firmness upon the woman and released the prisoner.
"I am not a doctor, but I know enough about wounds to say whether those scoundrels have killed him or not." The throng yielded to an authoritative voice, and some of the more sensible bystanders formed a ring, thus securing a semblance of light and air around the prostrate man.
