"You did altogether right, Ellie, dear; I I am proud of you, daughter.
I pressed the amorous Sara to my bosom in a transport of delight, which was shared by her; but as she saw me grow more ardent she begged me to be moderate. Clasping me in her arms she adjured me not to ask her for that which she was determined not to grant till she was mine by lawful wedlock. "You will drive me to despair! Have you reflected that this resistance may cost me my life?
They took another ballot and found that the juryman who knew Brown had brought over two others to conviction, so that the jury was now evenly divided, Bently voting irresponsibly for acquittal. "Look here!" proposed the man in black. "Let's argue this out. Suppose I put the various propositions and you vote on 'em each separately." "Shoot ahead!" adjured somebody.
For some time after my report things went on fairly well, but only for a time.

I comforted, scolded, laughed, preached, and adjured in a breath; and then, drawing my another gently on, entered my father's study.

"If you go on laughing like that you'll soon begin to cry, and this mine will never get started." Thus adjured they rolled up their sleeves and set to work. Pickaxes were of no use in that sandy soil. The boys used their spades, and the girls carried the turned-up sand to the creek, washing it with the utmost care in the cinder-sifter. But their efforts met with no success.
Tell me," he continued, as they entered his office, "how you came to think of entering the Fisheries Bureau?" Thus adjured, Colin told briefly how his father had tried to interest him first in lumbering and then in engineering, but that neither had appealed to him.
"O Will," she adjured her husband anxiously, when he had told her of the engagement, "you must be very careful. Think of the child's poor mother! Think of our own dear child, and what it would mean to lose him!" Dr. Price was not entirely at ease in his mind as the two doctors drove rapidly from the hotel to Major Carteret's.
"Well," I said, "what is it to be, Twala?" Then he spoke. "Put away your magic tubes," he said; "ye have adjured me in the name of hospitality, and for that reason, but not from fear of what ye can do, I spare him. Go in peace."
