The men seemed half unwilling to proceed, and hung back more than once; but Amyas could hear an authoritative voice behind, and presently there emerged to the front, sword in hand, a figure at which Amyas and Cary both started. "Is it he?" "Surely I know those legs among a thousand, though they are in armor." "It is my turn for him, now, Cary, remember! Silence, silence, men!"
The Is Jesus Christ in favor of American slavery? In 1776 THOMAS JEFFERSON, supported by a noble band of patriots and surrounded by the American people, opened his lips in the authoritative declaration: "We hold these truths to be SELF-EVIDENT, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, LIBERTY and the pursuit of happiness."
Just as he came squarely under it, the boy dropped the rail like the bar of a toll gate. It struck the Raider across the head, felled him as if by a shot, and his pursuers then beat him to death. It began to be pretty generally understood through the prison that six men had been sentenced to be hanged, though no authoritative announcement of the fact had been made.
Then he roused himself, threw the blanket from his shoulders and said in something of his old voice: "Don't leave me. Do you hear? Don't leave me!" this was with an authoritative gesture.

One thing involved in this authoritative method was a frank appeal to the conscience of men.
"Force me!" cried Judith, laughing derisively; "you know not whom you threaten." "But I do," interposed Thirlby. "This young man shall have an answer to this question," he continued, addressing her in an authoritative tone. "Do you know anything of the girl?" "No," replied Judith; "I was merely jesting with him." "Shame on you, to trifle with his feelings thus," rejoined Thirlby.
"I suppose the chap that has the fun " "It's not always a chap," observed Dolly. "Well, then the individual," amended Archie. "I suppose he'd have to pay." "It doesn't say so," I remarked mildly.
