After reading him a severe lecture on this flagrant abandonment of his trust, enforced with great seriousness and an admonitory forefinger, she was concerned to see that the animal appeared less agitated by her reproof than by some other disturbance. He ran ahead of her, instead of at her heels, as was his usual custom, and barked a thing he rarely did.
"Now, my dear Jervis," said Thorndyke, shaking an admonitory forefinger at me, "don't, I pray you, give way to mental indolence. You have these few facts that I have mentioned. Consider them separately and collectively, and in their relation to the circumstances. Don't attempt to suck my brain when you have an excellent brain of your own to suck."
"I don't feel wrong." "You DO!" she said, giving him a sharp, admonitory clutch. "You DO. Only you're silly, and obstinate, babyish and silly and obstinate. An obstinate little boy you DO feel wrong. And you ARE wrong. And you've got to say it." But quietly he disengaged himself and got to his feet, his face pale and set, obstinate as she said. He put his hat on, and took his little bag.
This had occurred several times before, so without a thought I went out of the Portuguese merchant's house in which I was a guest, sat down, and heard the complaint and defense in the usual way. When I had given my decision in the common admonitory form, they went off apparently satisfied.

Cap'n Ira whispered in his wife's ear: "Look at that now! How long d'you think we'll be able to keep Ida May with us? I cal'late we'd better build our boundary fence a great sight higher and shut him out o' walkin' across this farm." But Prudence only struck at him with a gently admonitory hand.
Please tell Mamma Vi I am sorry to have given her pain; but she shouldn't care anything about such a naughty girl." "That, my child, she cannot help," Elsie said; "she loves your father far too well not to love you for his sake." After a little more kindly admonitory talk she went away, leaving a tender, motherly kiss upon the little girl's lips.

You speak in vain. To your duty with these men, or be silent."
