The youngest Civilian would arrest Gabriel on his own responsibility if the Archangel could not produce a Deputy Commissioner's permission to "make music or other noises" as the license says.
In the commissioner's letters to his son, the private secretary, he could say and suggest whatever he pleased; he pointed out the gentlemen of the county who ought to be conciliated, and he offered his services to represent things properly to some with whom he was intimate.
A few subdued noises trickled in through the open door from the other departments a dull tinkling crash from the treasurer's office adjoining, as a clerk tossed a bag of silver to the floor of the vault the vague, intermittent clatter of a dilatory typewriter a dull tapping from the state geologist's quarters as if some woodpecker had flown in to bore for his prey in the cool of the massive building and then a faint rustle and the light shuffling of the well-worn shoes along the hall, the sounds ceasing at the door toward which the commissioner's lethargic back was presented.
The Commissioner's wife, unskilled in the art of war, continued her questionings. "I don't know," said Mrs. Austell.

That night and the next day, he kept the body between his feet the body of the little child he kept save when he swung it. No man could prevent. For this reason I am his to him; and he is mine to me!" "Well done, well done!" the mellow voice of Kudrat Sharif spoke softly; and the mahouts of the Chief Commissioner's stockades assented.
Mantelish wasn't in the least appeased by the fact that again at the Commissioner's suggestion Lyad had installed one minor new hypno-command which, she said, would clear up permanently his tendency toward attacks of dive sickness. But he just ran down finally and sat there, glowering at the Ermetyne now and then.
