At the last moment it transpired that their black attendants, Mafuta, Jantje, and 'Nkuku were to be left behind on the mainland which arrangement also appeared to bear a certain sinister significance whereupon Grosvenor suggested the extreme importance of placing them in charge of the wagon and its remaining contents, part of which two cases of ammunition, to wit he explained, consisted of terribly powerful magic, any tampering with which by unauthorised persons must inevitably have the most appallingly disastrous results.

I cannot permit it to go on any longer, knowing what I now know from you, and you living under my roof.

Now, pray observe what I am about to say.

Under the spell of the first sensations of Christianity, Lucy found and took unauthorised possession of a gold cross.

He attacked Accius for his unauthorised innovations in spelling, Pacuvius and Ennius for want of a sustained level of dignity.
