Mr Miller said magisterially, "Not really good American oil," but no one paid attention, knowing that he was commenting, not as a member of the committee, but in his other capacity as the head of an organization to promote Brotherhood and Democracy by deporting all foreignborn and the descendants of foreignborn to their original countries.
When we elected you judge of this here trial court, we agreed to abide by your decisions, an' we've done it, too, b'gosh, an' we're goin' to keep on doin' it." "Mebbe I've been a trifle harsh, Jack," O'Brien said apologetically "I'm that worked up over those killings; an' I'm willing to make it a week's grub." He cleared his throat magisterially and looked briskly about him.
"You have no business to be out here in the road, talking to children whom you know nothing about." Enid shrank a little, but she did not drop the child's hand. "But, aunt Leo, she is hungry and " "Were you begging of this young lady?" Miss Vane said magisterially, her eyes bent full on the ragged girl's dark face. But Andrew Westwood's daughter would not speak.
It claims to decide magisterially, whether infallibly or not, that such and such statements are or are not prejudicial to the apostolic depositum of faith, in their spirit or in their consequences, and to allow them, or condemn and forbid them, accordingly.
"I was goin' to, in a minute; but Mars' Charlie done wanted me to cut his melon, an' I thought 'twouldn't make no difference."

At the last words, Janey drew herself up to her full height and glared at Mrs. Pennypoker.
The rubs, the rods, the crosses of the road could, in fact, hardly be presented to us more graphically or magisterially than they are in some of these chapters. Like Prior, Fielding, Shenstone, and Dickens, Smollett was a connoisseur in inns and innkeepers. He knew good food and he knew good value, and he had a mighty keen eye for a rogue.
"We limbered up, our battery did, and got the guns off in column of route, but we were more like a blooming ambulance than a battery. We had our limbers and waggons chock full o' details fellers who'd been wounded or crocked up. And reservists wi' sore feet out o' training, I reckon," he added magisterially. "Never you mind about resarvists, my son," interjected a man in the Suffolks.

The horses neighed, the oxen bellowed, and the pigs, feeling that they were predestined to be roasted anyhow, offered to their rescuers an obstinate and philosophical resistance. Meantime the notables of the place, formed in groups, discussed magisterially the origin of a fire which no one made an effort to stay.
