Settling down in our places at the long table laden with good things, a stern admonitory glance from our father would let us into the secret of the new guest's status his unsuitability to his surroundings. It was great fun to watch him furtively and listen to his blundering conversational efforts, but we knew that the least sound of a titter on our part would have been an unpardonable offence.
Louis might have been addressed with propriety, on his arrival in France, in the admonitory words of Galba to Piso: "Imperaturus es hominibus, qui nec totam servitutem pati possunt nec totam libertatem."
Returning suddenly to her admonitory tone, she said, dropping her voice, "If you must have a 'vent', Teddy, go and devote yourself to one of the 'pretty, modest girls' whom you do respect, and not waste your time with the silly ones." "You really advise it?" and Laurie looked at her with an odd mixture of anxiety and merriment in his face.
Portico more spontaneous, more human, as she uttered these words, caused them to affect her hostess rather less painfully than anything she had yet said. She took the girl's hand and emitted indefinite, admonitory sounds. "Help me, my dear old friend, help me," Georgina continued, in a low, pleading tone; and in a moment Mrs. Portico saw that the tears were in her eyes.
Neefit's grounds, at a distance of about twenty yards from the house, was a little recess called "the arbour," admonitory of earwigs, and without much pretension to comfort. It might hold three persons, but on this occasion Mr. Neefit was minded that two only should enjoy the retreat. Polly carried out the decanter and glasses, but did not presume to stay there for a moment.
The artist Copley, in the familiar portrait by which posterity knows Samuel Adams, chose to represent him in conventional garb, on a public and dramatic occasion, standing erect, eyes flashing and mouth firmset, pointing with admonitory finger to the Charter of Massachusetts Bay a portrait well suited to hang in the Art Museum or in the meeting place of the Daughters of the Revolution.
The history, therefore, of the Acts propounds examples admonitory and obligatory upon us, that we should express like acts in like cases. 2. Of the kingdom of grace, say others.
I had heard from good authority that "to those whose propensities were known, Duroc's information that the Empress was visible was accompanied with a kind of admonitory or courtly hint, that the strictest decency in dress and manners, and a conversation chaste, and rather of an unusually modest turn, would be highly agreeable to their Sovereigns, in consideration of the solemn occasion of a Sovereign Pontiff's arrival in France, an occurrence that had not happened for centuries, and probably would not happen for centuries to come."
His spirits always rose with anything, good or bad, which occasioned tumult, and he continued frisking, hopping, dancing, and singing the burden of an old ballad 'Our gear's a' gane, until, happening to pass too near the Bailie, he received an admonitory hint from his horse-whip, which converted his songs into lamentation.
Anthony asked, with languor, lounging in. "Hush-sh-sh!" said Adrian, intent upon his manuscript, waving an admonitory hand. "It's time to dress," said Anthony. He lighted a cigarette. Adrian strummed through his phrase again, brows knitted, looking intensely judicial. Then he swung round on his piano-stool. "Hey? What did you say?" he questioned, his blue eyes vague, his pink face blank.
